2007-2006 SDS MDS promotions and marketing

While there is tons of worth while reading going on in the SDS MDS boards, there is one thing that is hugely lacking.
I have found no evidence of a common promotional machine. There seems to be no ads in magazines or newspapers.

As a child I remember the SDS was heavy on national publicity, as the weathermen became news worthy.
There are weekly newspapers like the Chicago Reader, The Scene in Cleveland, NUVO in Indianapolis, Village Voice in NY etc... These magazines need WEEKLY ads for membership drives. The more people whom join, the stronger the sds becomes.

I find it amazing on how many people when I mention the SDS say, "Oh yeah the old time student peace movement from the Hippie and Yippi days. What ever happened to them?"
