Ohio DUers I need help, especially Cleveland, Dayton, Akron, Coulmbus
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 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. Do you have Copy Club where you are?
Last time I went in, an employee gave me a card that had a considerable balance on it. Some customer had left it behind. I dont remember how much it was, but it was considerable, I think at least $20. If you email me your address, I will be happy to pass it on to you. I rarely need copying services anyway.

3. No just kinkos, I'm going to get about 300 copies today on my credit card
With my earlier flyers 100 lasted me a couple days because I was just attaching them to utility poles. With GWB is a PAB I need so many because everyone wants there own copy. One young mother with 3 young children who was waiting for the bus to take her to church, took one so she could make copies at her church. She said we got to do whatever it takes to get rid of idiot boy. African Americans can't afford 4 more years of a Bush economy.

I don't care if you stand on the corner selling crack, I want your vote for John Kerry, and I will do whatever it takes to get it. I'm a middle-aged white woman and I am not embarrased to say, Bush is a punk ass bitch. It's actually fun to say because people get a kick out of seeing a white woman talk like that.

2. That's a great flyer.
Here's my list of talking points for young/Viagra males. Your flyer hits most of them.

- SBV and Republicans are liars

- Bush is a doofus

- Bush is a liar

- Neo-cons are screwing the Pentagon

- Iraq war was bungled. How can there not be a draft if Bush is re-elected?

- Bush is a divider, not a uniter

- Bush cares about the super-rich, but doesn't care about the average guy

4. Just for fun, sometimes I actually rap the flyer for the entertainment
of the young males I give it to. In my street canvassing I always try to keep a humorous note and to be somewhat entertaining.

6. You go girl!
Very original and fun approach! And hey, if there were more real job/education opportunities for all, no doubt there'd be less drug selling and buying.

Good luck!
