And for god's sake, PROOFREAD it before you print it. It probably helps to have someone else doublecheck it, since everyone has a blind spot to their own personal misspellings.

It's embarassing to give liberals an excuse to write you off as an illiterate redneck, yet at every conservative rally, I see at least one sign with an elementary spelling error (or punctuation -- misplaced apostrophes are most often the culprits).

Even if you think you know how to write, get a second opinion just to be sure. "Loose" does not equal "lose", "missile" is *not* spelled "missle", and so on. If you're taking the time to make a poster that you want to be seen by a large audience, make sure it's done right.
