[OSList] Seeking sample invitations plus any advice

[doug]

Susan--

First, I question that open space will be a hard sell for conservatives. 
Include something in your invitation that speaks to them. "Do you feel 
that 'politically correct' excludes you?," "What happened to merit and a 
full day's work?," "When your do-gooding conflicts with my truth," or 
something similar.

Also, I see you have 11 pictures of people on your Web page. I don't see 
any pictures of people who look like conservatives to me. How about an 
old white farmer, or a blue collar pipe fitter? Who do the reporters 
interview when they want a person on the street who is conservative?
