Political mailer for Adam Hasner-R does not indicate *his* party; misleads Democrats for vote
This angered me enough to post this.

I suppose I should be amused that these guys are running away from their radioactive pResident and his Republican Party.



On his ~9-14" glossy mailer, Adam ("let's shut down all Citgo gas stations on Florida's Turnpike") Hasner-(R) NEVER ONCE indicates that he's a Republican State Representative candidate for District 87, Palm Beach County.

On the back side of the mailer is text describing *his record* in Tallahassee.


On the front side with the mailing address of the voter, it reads:


There is a very large photo of a woman's face on the left side of the mailer and directly beside it is the text:

"I have to vote on Election Day.

I am a Democrat.

I have always voted Democrat.

On Tuesday, I'm voting for Adam Hasner."



This is very slick advertising and very misleading, because it implies that he *is a Democrat* too.


District 87, VOTE FOR ED KOPF, the real Democrat!

2. It's the insidious attempt at name recognition clouded in "Democratic" packaging
that could trick a distracted,hurried voter....that bothers me.

Oh, well, what else is to be expected from these people.
