Don't know what to make of that.

One thing that puts me off is when anyone uses "common sense" solutions as a phrase. "Common sense" does not really exist in my opinion. There are things that seem to make sense to a great many people, but there are always populations for which a "common sense solution" poses a major obstacle.

I prefer "evidence based solutions".

isn't exactly a catchy bumper sticker slogan. Also, it should be "For A President Who Will Restore Rights And Liberties And Represent All Of The People." "Who" should be used when referring to a person; "that" is used when referring to something that is not a person.

A President *WHO* will...

Also, that script font looks awful - kerning is off.

But mostly by not voting for him or sending him money or paying him undue attention for at least another 13 months. We have midterms to focus upon.
