Cleveland, Dayton, Akron, Columbus DUers needed!
I have been using the flyer below for 5 days now and I can't replenish at Kinkos fast enough to keep up with the demand. All the young males I show this flyer to want copies to keep and they don't even fold it to put it in their pocket because they don't want to mess it up. Get this out to Cleveland, Dayton, Akron and Columbus. I'm doing my part by using it in Cincinnati. Obviously this is not a flyer you hand to just anyone. I give this flyer to young African American males that dress a certain way. ACT, YVA, VoteMob & ACORN got them registered, now let's close the deal by firing up the haters so they vote idiot boy out! I simply ask young males if they know anyone that raps and a really large percentage say yes AND want to take a personal copy with them. Or I say, "I hate Bush so much I wrote a song about it" and show them the flyer on my clipboard, at which point they always want one. They stand there and read the whole thing while smiling. I have not seen a single one wadded up or thrown on the ground.

Go to http://somnamblst.tripod.com to download high resolution TIF or PDF files to print and distribute in the inner city (not the suburbs). Hand them out and or attach them to utility poles, bus stops, phone booths, etc. Use them on street corners where adult males hang out and put them up high enough that kids can't read them. Guerilla marketers needed to create MAXIMUM BUZZ!

1. Update on GOTV activities over the weekend
Based on the number of flyers I handed out in Avondale on Saturday and Over-the-Rhine on Sunday, I had over 175 street level contacts with young newly registered potential Kerry voters.

Also African American owned barber shops and retail outlets are displaying the flyer on their walls and people I gave the flyer to kept them to show to others or post.

Older African Americans attitudes towards this flyer is;

1. It's true, he is a PAB
2. Whatever it takes to get these young guys to the polls on Nov. 2
3. It may be crude, but it certainly is hilarious

As a targeted marketing message the GWB is a PAB poem/rap has been focus grouped and it is a winner.

Back to Kinkos to replenish.
