Westboro Baptist Church Ad Campaign in the Washington DC Area to begin December 1, 2008

Dear Mr. Jones: Westboro Baptist Church would like to run a responsive ad campaign on the sides of the buses which are available for purchase for advertisement in Washington DC. There is some urgency to our ad campaign, as it directly responds to the atheists ad campaign "Why Believe In God?" currently running in that same market. To view draft mock-ups of the proposed ads, use the supplied link: http://www.godhatesfags.com/visuallphotos/busads/index.htrnl. High resolution files ofthe actual ad images can either be uploaded to your firm via FTP or a disc can be sent to you, depending upon your firm's protocol. Please advise us by return fax to 785.273.1077 or e-mail to [email protected] what cost we need to advance to run these ads, and provide us a copy of your fee schedule, including holiday rates currently in place. Our plan is to run these ads on as many buses as you have available during the holiday season, which would cover at least from Friday, November 28, 2008, through the end ofthe calendar year. Therefore we ask for your prompt response to get these ads finalized and in place. For any follow up questions, please contact Shirley Phelps-Roper at 785.273.0325. Your prompt attention will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
