RE: Possible Denver Post Ad

["Raich, Peter C." <Peter.Raich@xxxxxxxx>]

Would be a great way to get more people's attention.  I assume the dates are reversed.  Since people are applying now for absentee ballots, the first add would need to go out NOW.
Unfortunately, the expense is essentially prohibitive to us, unless somebody has some great connections!
Next best, will be to try to get the media to run our PSAs free (once we are incorporated), but the coverage is uncertain (i.e., radio or TV stations running PSAs at 2 AM).
Something the Media Committee could address.
