Sam,
A lot of people also act without having good original ideas, and expect others to do their thinking for them. But I generally try not to diminish their contributions by characterizing them in such terms. My view is that both having good ideas, and acting on good ideas, are valuable even if not vertically integrated (i.e. even if one person doesn't do everything from start to finish). Division of labor.
Love & Liberty,

>> The spot would open with the camera panning over a beautiful scene evoking – the snow-covered streets and buildings at dusk/early night in a quaint small town (perhaps in New Hampshire which has plenty such atmosphere?). Playing in the background is a recording of the instrumental music from John Lennon's Christmas song "War Is Over (If You Want It)".
>>
>> Gradually the sound of people singing another song becomes audible, and grows stronger to become dominant as the camera approaches the source of the sound. The camera comes around a corner and we see a group of Libertarian carolers proceeding down a snow-covered street, dressed up in holiday finery, ringing bells and carrying signs (including signs for Johnson/Weld and one or more candidates local to the actual location where the ad is filmed, along with signs "End the Drug War!" and "Stop the Wars/Troops Home Now!" to subtly match the theme of the Lennon song).
>>
>> The Libertarian carolers would be heard and then seen singing the lines, "We wish you a lot of freedom, we wish you a lot of freedom, we wish you a lot of freedom – and a happy new year!" At the end of which, the whole group would stop and wave their signs, ring their bells, bang on drums, use other noise-makers, etc., facing the camera now, with everyone smiling and laughing and toasting each other with glasses of egg nog or other libations and obviously having a great time.
>>
>> This milieu would be frozen in a final snapshot enclosed in a decorative holiday frame on the screen, and then text would appear across the screen in cursive as if someone were writing it, "Libertarian Party", with a heart symbol (♥ ) appearing in front of the words after the script has fully appeared, to the accompaniment of the sound of a little bell or chime. At the bottom of the screen would be any required legalese (e.g. "Paid for by the Libertarian National Committee"), our website, along with the prominently displayed words, "Please vote responsibly."
