Kinko for President!
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. Extensive local support can help bring
Kinko to you town for a night of campaigning. 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.

If you are interested in having the campaign visit your town, contact
stephanie(a)bindlestiff.org for booking information.
