Well, if the client has a lot 38 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,159 of dole to throw around, a suspense campaign is best. 39 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,840 Virtue place ads on the paper saying watch this space. 40 00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:19,000 Then about a week lady, you run an ads saying X, 41 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,840 y Z A PDQ, and you get people guessing what 42 00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:24,560 it means.

Of course, in this kind 45 00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:38,639 of campaign. Secrecy is very important. Once the name of 46 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,439 the product leaks out, its spread like wildfire, and the 47 00:03:41,479 --> 00:03:48,759 whole campaign is flopole.

As a matter of fact, 54 00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:17,519 I seldom touch anything less at the right all the 55 00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:20,720 oh oh oh, of course that's right, mister Ryan, Absolutely 56 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:25,560 right good.

The first 406 00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:30,000 one is the Washington Quarter. It was George Washington who 407 00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:32,920 reminded us that on the unity of our government depends 408 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,359 our independence, our peace at home and abroad, our safety, prosperity, 409 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:41,640 and our freedom. The second coin is the Jefferson nicol. 410 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,680 It was Thomas Jefferson who said, no government can continue 411 00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:49,359 good but under the control of the people. The third 412 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,759 coin is a penny bearing the likeness of Abraham Lincoln, 413 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,920 who said, among free men there can be no successful 414 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,079 appeal from the ballot to the bullet. And finally, the 415 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,880 Roosevelt dime reminds us of something Franklin D. Roosevelt once said. 416 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,000 Every man and every woman in this nation, regardless of party, 417 00:26:09,319 --> 00:26:11,720 who have the right to register and to vote, and 418 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,559 the opportunity to register and to vote, have also the 419 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,480 sacred obligation to register and to vote.
