I don&#8217;t know if you can read the text in this picture. If you want to read it don&#8217;t worry just scroll down a bit. My plan is to use it to locate a few hundred locations for Alanna&#8217;s lawnsigns. It contains a short anecdote and the yard space request. I&#8217;ve only stapled about 200 together but there are many more coming. I took 5000 to Alanna to staple together. She&#8217;s stuck in a wheelchair at home growing crazy because she can&#8217;t easily get out to campaign. It will be monotonous but it might help keep her sane.<\/p>\n<p>I say staple because I got her permission to let me staple my congressional campaign business cards to the back of it. I think that I have enough goodwill with Duluth voters <em>despite my insistence on calling myself a Republican again<\/em> that it will help Alanna&#8217;s campaign rather that sabotage it. Besides, I don&#8217;t want people to stop thinking about my constant grievance against Trump&#8217;s contamination and take over of the Party of Lincoln. I spent $191 dollars to print out 5000 flyers. It is a modest sum. The $300 needed for me to file to challenge Trumper, Pete Stauber for Congress a fourth time is modest too. <\/p>\n<p>If you would like Alanna&#8217;s sign send an email request to: <a href=\"mailto:harrywelty@charter.com\">harrywelty@charter.com<\/a> with your name and address and phone number. This, sans phone numbers, is the text on the flyer:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53143265629_bd17dd4875_c.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>BTW &#8211; I am a little casual about disclaimers. I was supposed to add my address but no other politician in Duluth has a better known house than me so I skipped it. Heck, someone stole the lawnsign in my yard a couple weeks ago that I put behind Alanna&#8217;s sign. Both my lawnsign and the my business card have the same image. If kids are stealing my lawnsigns to put in their college dorms I don&#8217;t think it will hurt Alanna if we staple my business card on back of her flyer. According to the Supreme Court trillionaires have a free speech right to spread lies to secretly help their political prostitutes win elections. At least no one will have any doubt who spent $190 to print these flyers. I did and I&#8217;m proud of it. Maybe like Clarence Thomas I can find someone to spend a hundred thousand so I can take a fancy vacation to Indonesia. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the front of my card:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52099080396_a066acd749.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>AS OF THIS MOMENT I HAVE CREATED <a href=\"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/?cat=154\">AN ALANNA OSWALD CATEGORY<\/a> FOR THIS BLOG. Its overdue because this is at least my 154th post mentioning Alanna. Obviously, when my flyer says there are many other reasons to vote for Alanna I&#8217;m not kidding. The flyer hardly scratches the surface.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and here&#8217;s proof of Congressmen Stauber&#8217;s status as Donald Trump pocket lint:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52334480040_c6a3c64e2a_c.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Saturday morning I used Wait, Wait, Don&#8217;t tell me on PBS as background noise while I prepared a flyer for Alanna Oswald&#8217;s school&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[154],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34276"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34276"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34276\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34296,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34276\/revisions\/34296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
