Now that everyone has had a chance to see the discussion and comment.....the decision has been made and the paper will be called: The Fortress. It will probably be a banner at the top of the page with a wide black stripe below and above the name like this:
**************
THE FORTRESS
**************

How are you going to pay for all this. I guess there will not be any advertising? _________________ Homer is my hero! |

Out of my own pocket as there will be no advertising. |

No donations. The first one will be my treat and I will ask for submissions from a broad spectrum to keep the paper "light hearted". The idea is to learn how to put out a newspaper and produce it. I will make at least 1,000 copies (more if more interest) on regular newsprint. This number will force us to think about distribution and page layout, etc. - a real adventure! |

We probably will use our written reports. All submissions will be produced and copyrighted by Fortress Of Freedom Inc. and all submissions will be legally protected by me once it passes my approving eye. I am probably looking at 12 to 24 pages depending on the amount of material. The thing here is to get the paper out there. |

Besides text we should have art work in there somewhere to brighten up the paper...doesn't have to be colour--or even a lot of art--just something to compliment the words |
