Does anyone have any samples of the art work for the various designs? If I could find the art work, in a quality appropriate for reproduction, I'm willing to locate a Red Neck outfit to print the T-Shirts and bumper stickers.

I'll sell them on the internet, and donate ALL money excess of costs to the "Adopt A Sniper" program, or other Military programs as suggested by the brethren.

I've done hats, shirts, sweat shirts, and belt buckles in the past and think the irony of using these designs to raise $$ for our troops is just exquisite! Each item shipped to include a copy of the above "order" as well. Do we know the origin of this order?

What do you think? Do it! Forget it! Someone else wants to do it! What?

The BIG, and probably ONLY question, is the availability of art work.

I can't find a source on the internet. Try to find someone actually in Iraq to buy you a sample. Apparently they're available there.
