On tour until November 4, 2008 As the 2008 presidential election draws near, the American people demand a new kind of leader. With "Kinko for President," the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus offers the big-top solution! Kinko the Clown stands for change...spare change. He's willing to do whatever it takes to bamboozle the public. And when it comes to throwing his hat in the ring, Kinko can't be beat--from hat tricks to juggling hats, this clown is your candidate! Bindlestiff Family Cirkus's newest production is a full-force spectacle, where the circus meets the media circus, sideshow marvels meet campaign carnivals, and the audience meets one of this country's oldest traditions--the variety arts. Like all political campaigns, Kinko's campaign will include sleight of hand, tightrope acts, death-defying feats, slapstick comedy, and more. It's time to put a real clown in the White House--Kinko for President! So if you have a bit of spare change and can help Kinko get the word out to the people, send us your support. Contributions of $3 (includes one dollar for shipping) to $2300 (maximum campaign contribution allowed), with a specific note that states "Kinko for President" will receive a "Kinko for President" campaign button. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bring the Cirkus to Your Town!
