*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. Donate online
http://www.bindlestiff.org/menu/donate.html. Donations can also be sent to
Bindlestiff, PO Box 1917, NY, NY 10009. Contributions of $3 to $2300
(maximum campaign contribution allowed) will receive a "Kinko for President"
campaign button, simply state "Kinko for President" with your contribution.
