thanks! it's easy to do! you can find everything you need on the website. the infoserts even print up at 10 per 8.5x11" sheet and it's really cheap to have them cut. fedex/kinkos charges us like $4 per 500 sheets. so basically, you can turn 500 printed sheets into 5000 infoserts!!! :)
sweet!
glad you dig it!
it was rad :)
nice!
doo ittt!!! :))
Prepare for an Article V convention with amendment countering the abrdging of free speech, reforming campaign finance and voter reform.
Yea, read the constitution. It's overdue by 100 years. Congress is evading its duty.
we added a few pics from our last all-day consumer infosert to that page :)
