Each poster in this set is heavily blurred - suggesting that the way it is right now is not quite what Founding Fathers had in mind. I plan to add more posters of this kind in a short while. Any suggestions for background?
In search of powerful anti-war images, I discovered this great photo by Terry Foss from “Eyes Wide Open Exhibition.” I added war causalities statistics from Massachusetts, USA and Iraq, to create this powerful poster promoting Ron Paul’s antiwar message. It is very striking - 1.2 millions Iraqi dead? How long will this go on? To quote this article:
These numbers suggest that the invasion and occupation of Iraq rivals the great crimes of the last century — the human toll exceeds the 800,000 to 900,000 believed killed in the Rwandan genocide in 1994, and is approaching the number (1.7 million) who died in Cambodia’s infamous “Killing Fields” during the Khmer Rouge era of the 1970s.
Here are my sources:
Washington Post, Faces of the Fallen
ORB survey of casualties of the Iraq War
Currently, I cannot offer this poster for sale.
I got inspired by Micah Wright, and decided to use the same “poster remix” idea to promote Ron Paul. I plan to add a poster a day (actually, every four days you will see four new posters added on). You may order any of the posters shown below directly from me in quantities of four at a time. Most of them are 18″x25″ wide, printed on a glossy paper, shipped the next business day with USPS priority mail for 4.60$. Your feedback and comments are greatly appreciated.
