"Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half."
--John Wanamaker

The FSP is always looking for new and effective methods of "getting the word out" to potential members. We are currently trying to raise money for both regular advertising in Liberty, Reason, and the LP News, as well as a direct mail campaign. If you would like to help with this effort, you can donate here. Our advertising coordinator is Bob Hull.

Shadow Ads

Shadow Ads are based on events currently in the news, egregious rights violations that exemplify what FSP participants hope to remedy. If you notice a situation that would make a good Shadow Ad candidate, please notify the Advertising Director, especially if you are willing to lead the effort!
