Love the ideas and enthusiasm. Remember contributing is as easy as this (written mostly for example):<div><br></div><div>The Scam of High Finance</div><div>- Banks packaged junk loans and gave them the highest rating possible</div>
<div>- They sold these packages to unsuspecting buyers and then proceeded to bet against them</div><div>- Despite their blatant fraud, banks got bailed out, and we got foreclosed on</div><div><br></div><div>That was awful. Hopefully you get the point. Please do better. :)</div>

Hi There! I'm an amateur designy person and I would love to help out,<br>
please send along some content so I can make it pretty! What size<br>
fliers are we all thinking - I think probably half-sheets that can be<br>
printed in B&W on 8.5"x11 might work nicely especially for the "ad"<br>
type fliers- or do you want to pack more info on them? Personally I<br>
am more likely to give fridge real-estate to smaller fliers - larger<br>
ones often end up folded into wads in my pocket & tossed accidently.<br>
<br>
I feel like the best fliers I receive have *short *sweet *directly<br>
informative messages, with clean graphics and URLS or the like so I<br>
can explore them later. If we have access to two-sided printing we<br>
could combine advertisement & informative fliers maybe, one side to<br>
draw them in and another side that they can peruse on their next T<br>
ride. Just some ideas.<br>
<br>
TFC!!<br>
