Archdiocese of Brownsville Runs 1/2 Page in McAllen Monitor

McAllen Monitor ^ | October 10, 2004 | Archdiocese of Brownsville

[Toonces T. Cat]

The Archdiocese of Brownsville, Texas is running a half-page ad titled, "Abortion is the Issue" in the Sunday edition of the McAllen Monitor. I suspect that it is also running in the Brownsville Herald as well, but I do not a have a copy in hand to veryify that. It is a staggeringly effective indictment of the Kerry position on abortion and fetal stem cell research.

I have scanned the ad and made a very clear and readable 800x600 jpeg that I would love to post in this thread, but I have nowhere to host it. I cannot use a university server for this purpose or I would be walking on my own use policy. If someone would like to volunteer for the job, I can email the file to you. I would be highly appreciative if someone would step up to the plate for this one...It's only 128kb in size.

Thanks!

I'm DELIGHTED just to KNOW there's an ad like this out there. Go Texas!!

Good to hear. Thank you, Toonces.

[Grampa Dave]

Meek, can you helpout, here?

Thanks.

This is a worth while project and should make to the big time press but will never happen.

I'm sending you my email addy via Freep mail TTC ...

[Brownie74]

If you have problems, send me the graphic and I'll put it on my server.

Give me a ping when you're done. Thanks.

The Monitor's website has an ad search function in the left hand tool bar but i'm not sure it will bring up display ads. Probably just classifieds. When I worked there in '75 and '76 we all had manual typewriters and ashtrays on every desk :o)

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks, will do.

I haven't heard from Toonces since my Freep mail. As soon as I get the file, I'll check it out and get it hosted.

If I have to take it to my PhotoDeluxe for any reason, it may be tomorrow, depending .....

[Brownie74]

OK - no problem. Da' Boys lost today so I think I'll shut down and go off in a corner and eat worms.

Bye!!

[Toonces T. Cat]

It's on the way to you now. I do not believe you'll have to mess with it in order to use it.

Thanks!

Thanks TTC!

I didn't go to my PhotoDeluxe, but it's pretty big for some folks with dialup (149KB):

Are you going to post the link to the scan on this thread?

[Toonces T. Cat]

Thank you sir!

I tried to get it as small as possible while keeping readable throughout. I really get tired of looking at newpaper screens and memos that are just illegible smears.

You're a good man!

Yes, sir. Posted on #12. Here it is:

Thanks! I'm delighted to see that they did this - and it's a pretty hard-hitting ad, too. Not flashy, but full of lots of detail.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thank you! You did GREAT! :^D

The first time I "saved as" your file from email to my computer, it was a whopping 440KB +++.

I re-saved it (without changing the file name like I did the first time) and it was miraculously a (relatively) smaller 149KB! Much closer to the size you said it was in your thread here. I'm (hopefully) learnin' !! :^D

'Living The Gospel of Life' - ping.

BTW: John Kerry does *NOT* endorse this ad.

Ping on #12 (click on the link).

Thank you sir !!

Meek, thanks a million for posting that ad.
