Like it or not, print and mailers are still an important part of Kansas City campaigning.
To wit . . .
THIS MORNING KANSAS CITY URBAN CORE POLITICAL JUGGERNAUT FREEDOM, INC. HITS THE STREET WITH THEIR EPIC PRINT CAMPAIGN!!!
Even better . . .
TKC HAS THE FIRST LOOK AND HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS 8-PAGE URBAN CORE ANTI-TAX SPREAD!!!
Let's take a quick peek . . .
Kansas City's oldest and most illustrious African-American political group starts strong with the front page "Vote No" proclamation that grabs the attention of the reader.
The second page slows things down a bit with a more formal introduction to leaders Craig Bland, Mo State Sen. Kiki Curls and Gayle Holiday . . . Along with their stance against the sales tax.
We like this quick fact sheet that dominates another page . . .
This seems like a first look @ mailer copy that will undoubtedly dominate the 3rd District.
The mailer/insert is built around the narrative and legacy of KC East side political leader Charles Hazley who faced medical problems in his later years . . . Touting Former KC Councilman Hazley not only invokes the history of Freedom, Inc. but also makes their stance against this health science effort seem less cruel.
Freedom, Inc. brings out the big guns on this page and notes their support in Jeff City and among friendly power brokers across Kansas City.
On one of the last pages Freedom, Inc. touts their 50 year history in the community.
The final note touts the "no jobs" argument against the tax - A concern that dominates the urban core (and every place else) amid ongoing harsh times.
Accordingly . . .
EXPECT THIS PRINT CAMPAIGN TO MAKE NEWS AND EVOKE A GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST ON THE STREETS OF KANSAS CITY TODAY!!!
Even better . . .
INSTEAD OF PICKING UP AN OLD DEAD TREE MEDIA EDITION OF THE PAPER . . . CHECK THIS PDF OF THE FREEDOM, INC. PRINT EFFORT FIRST HERE ON TKC!!!
Clearly, this Kansas City urban core power play is worth a look and offers an excellent overview of the arguments against the tax by one of this town's most powerful political groups.
Developing . . .
Not a bad bit of work. The PDF is a bit busy though. On the bright side it has a great texture for dogs to use after the election.

ReplyDeleteGive me a break Tony! Freedom Inc. extorts money from those too bigoted to know anything about AA Community, then they steal that money from each other, and on election day they pay the unemployable to stand around in matching T-shirts. Sure,it is more complex than Lali at La Raza puts together -- who just pockets most of the cash -- but Freedom's efforts are not game changing anymore.
The lit is a bit busy but it is much better than the Club for Crooks has published in years, which tells me that someone else created it for them.
No Jobs!
ReplyDeleteWe wanted a set aside of a couple of research jobs for Dr. Bland and Dr. Curls. No set aside. No Deal!
Well the deal is cut! Gail Holliday's 6 figures is on the way!
ReplyDeleteWhen is Craig Bland going to stop wearing those cheap suits?
ReplyDeleteGayle Holiday can't spell Ph.D. Charles Hazley was a convicted tax cheat.
ReplyDeletePolitical juggernaut? If this is the best the black community can do, they need a lot more than 12 council districts to help them.
I wanna play doctor for pay!
ReplyDeleteI wanna play doctor for pay!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to vote for the tax simply because this group is against it.
ReplyDeleteIf they were a real political organization they would punish the council candidates who endorsed this tax hike next year, but instead they will just beg money off of them. PIGS
ReplyDeleteThis really looks good to me. Freedom may be breaking new ground with this opposition campaign.
ReplyDeleteThe Civic Council is concerned.
nice to see people actually opposing more big business giveways. That's all this is. Yet another tax payer funded giveway to for profit enterprise.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the paper. No virus's and hackers and other weird people tracking and watching and logging your every move on the "bunny tubes".
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I see print media making a big comeback! The "newspaper" is new and hip again! Privacy!
ReplyDeleteTony -- You know as well as that this tabloid doesn't really exist unless you can grab a paper out of the box (or off your front lawn), open it up and put your hands on the Freedom tab inside.
ReplyDeleteToday, everyone, buy The Star (on the East Side), pick up The Pitch and feel that comforting and powerful newsprint in your hands!
Fuck Freedom Inc and the niggers they think they represent.
ReplyDeleteIf the niggers are against it, it MUST be great for humans...
ReplyDeletethis proposed tax is dead
ReplyDeleteokay.. if these "Freedom" scammers are against it-
ReplyDeleteI'm FOR it !
This tax, along with all the toy train plans, show that KCMO leadership is the stupidest in the country.
ReplyDeleteThe "TEENS" must not be getting a cut from this deal. They couldn't shake down the political elite in Kansas City on this one? This tax is another form of slavery. They missed that arguement.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason Freedom is against the issue is because the opposition paid more money to Rodney, Craig, Rodney and Craig's mother, Gail Beatty and her gay husband
ReplyDeleteAnd you care because?
ReplyDeleteThe Toy Train is not even started and they have commissioned a study to see about extending it. Everything Up To Date in Kansas City. Everyone sing.
ReplyDeleteThe "Translational Research Sales Tax" campaign trying to hoodwink Jackson County voters
ReplyDeleteis like
A non-resident community organizer trying to create American jobs and revamp the country's healthcare system by giving the program's contract to a Canadian company!
Agreed Freedom!
ReplyDeleteBrandon Ellington sells out to Freedom,Inc. What a surprise.
ReplyDeleteFreedom is still a potent factor. You can blab and say all the racist shit you want but the fact is they deliver votes. Why else would the Vote Yes people have tried to buy them for $150,000? There are a lot of bullshit artists commenting on the forum that don't know jack shit about what they're talking about. Go Freedom!
ReplyDeleteThe dinosour continues to walk the earth long after all the others. Just because they still exist does not mean they are "potent". They have kenely convince a bunch of disconnected white people that they deliver Black votes. Instead, what they do is sell the Black vote. The people voting the Freedom, Inc. ballot do it out of pure habbit and laziness, woefully relying on someone else to vote for them. Then, they attach a Black face to Freedom. The truth is Freedom, Inc. is a has-been. They are not the future, they are the past. With names like Bland, Curls and Holiday... the past is the past. Let it go.
ReplyDeleteThanks Freedom Inc, I ALWAYS vote opposite of what you recommend.
ReplyDeleteIf you took home economics in jr high school you would know a better way to make that decision.
ReplyDeleteASK JIM ROWLAND HOW EFFECTIVE THEY ARE. LOL
