I will start creating - THE BEAR REPUBLIC magazine covers.

so - fellow LJers. I need a photo of you - the cropped image will be 450 pixels wide by 590 pixels high.

I need from you - your best political candidate pose or action shot. Not necessarily suits, but at board meetings, talking to constituents, walking on the streets with constituents, making yourselves look good for the camera. Perhaps you are stumping behind a podium - curing the sick - or working in the community. Or perhaps your giving that visionary stare into the future look. or that - take the fucking picture you liberal media scum look. Your choice.

Some tips: if you want me to crop you onto a different background - take your photo against a solid background. (and make suggestions in your submission where you'd like to be 'located')

Have a running mate (or two)(*coughing* Kent, Brian and Michael *coughing*) - get all in the same photo!

Mix it up - lets have fun!

Pictures like on these covers:

and extra for this set of issues? Email me the four KEY issues you, as a candidate, are running on...

For instance:

Equal Access to Breakfast pastries, Lower morning meal prices for needy children, Cutting taxes for the muffin industry, Offshore drilling of Muffins, No Cheese Danish Left Behind, etc.

The risk you run if you leave them off your email? Is that I will comb through the interests in your LJ profile - and use those instead. So provide your issues or roll the dice!

DEADLINES:

I'll be accepting photos and issue statements via email until October 1 - wherein I'll produce a magazine cover a day for the first 20 participants.

Email your photos and statements to thebearrepublic@robertmcdiarmid.com - and put BEAR REPUBLIC in the subject line so you don't go off to spamland.
