2. The stars on the elephant are upside down.
The RNC stars point downward, not upward.

5. Now "don't " that just figure!!! :) You are right. I'll change it
if I end up printing them. I'm thinking of making a donation of a number of them to the local Democratic Headquarters, but want to check the reaction here, or suggestions for improvement.
Glad you caught that. Thanks.

11. I posted an alternative that may make it more clear to you on the original post
if it does not explain it, then it's not good enough either!
Thanks

12. too much thinking required
To really succeed it has to be blatantly obvious.
Keep trying :')

14. Yeah, I don't get it either.
Frankly, it looks like it's a sticker for the Republicans, accusing the Democrats of saying no.

16. You may have a good point. This sort of thing,
if not crystal clear, can back fire badly.
If the idea of the word "NO" being their game is not clear to people, then the sticker won't work.

19. I mostly like but the donkey needs to look a little tougher, IMHO.
Not much--just a little less "curvy" especially in the kicking legs.

21. Upon a glance it looks pro-Republican

My first impression is that it is saying that the Democrats are saying 'no'.

The Republican elephant is what seems to be sponsoring the message.

I get what you are saying when I study it. I'm just afraid that as a bumper-sticker, when you only have a few seconds to make your point, people might come away with the wrong message.

22. And even if it's intended as anti-Republican, I don't think I like it.
It undercuts our important message that the other guys are the Party of No.

Now, something simpler like "Say no to the GOP" could work. It's a little bit childish, but I would have to admit to liking it.

23. Sorry to say, but this backfires entirely and shows the Democrats as the "Party of No"

26. I think you need to simplify it: "Say No To The Party Of No", or something like that.
That's what you're trying to say, no? ;-)
