Catching up on the last few days
My kick off fund raiser wasn't a huge success. It did bring in $. I took the only night available before the NE. Caucus next Saturday when it was scheduled. The 7,300 flyers that went through the mail weren't delivered until Wednesday, the day of the kick off. The number of people that stayed was small. Those that dropped off checks and didn't stay made a huge difference. There is also an increase in local donations online since the flyers hit mailboxes Wednesday. I now have more local donations than those from outside the metro area.
I have stopped posting most personal family info of late thanks to a certain crowd. Let's just say I was busy with family issues the last couple days.

There is a great article in this weeks Barron's about the upcoming Republican sweep of Congress based on the candidates grassroots support shown by the amount of money raised (locally).

Welcome back, Big Guy!
However, much like your promise of a surprise, your return isn't much of one either.

What do I win?
Family issues may have kept him from talking about his fundraiser (which I assume he waited because he knew civilized people would be stopping by to fact check any claims he would make about success).
The people dropping off checks and leaving comment is delicious, and of course not true - as is the nonsense about getting money from the lame flyer.
If I said it once, I said it a dozen times.... I can't wait to see his campaign finance forms. :-)
-
Oh, and while he had zero time to post about his lame fundraiser, he found ample time to cut and paste silly articles.
-
Oh and WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE SECRET dearest Steve.
Anytime you get around to making one up.... well, you know where we will be big guy. :cheersmate:
-
What do I win?
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
-
Well, it's good to see the big guy's in fine form, still fit and ready to run.
I was concerned.
By the way, one wonders who this "certain crowd" is.
It can't be his friends, and it's not us, so it must be that Sherlock Judy's been poking around.
-
What do I win?
A free ticket the Socialist Steve's next beer bash.
WHAT"S THE SECRET!!!!

That's possible.
The Great White Whale can't possibly like it that the big guy's been upstaging her so much.
Maybe she's trying to dig up dirt on him, to put him back into his place.
-
Sounds like Steve Dawes, Socialist would work quite well in government. He puts out the mailer on the day of the big fundraiser, that's good for government work there.
I was going to get that grant form in on time but had family issues so the City of Bellevue lost out on $200k from Uncle sugar, 0bama.

I've been thinking on this. I would not be surprised if Steve Dawes has been spending more of the household budget than he should on his campaign, and Marta has given him what-for about it.
Steve said he sent out 7,300 flyers in a targeted mailing. Postage for saturation mailing runs 14.5 cents/piece. There's $1,000. Printing those atrocious flyers at the union shop in Lincoln- $400 with setup. Mini-tacos and an open keg at Bear's Bar- $250. All of those things would need to be paid beforehand, and were probably paid from Steve and Marta's household account.
Any more fundraisers, and he'll be running as "Hobo Steve", the newly single homeless candidate.

One wonders if the big guy's seen this poll, from the DUmping Ground:
http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,71457.0.html
41.4% say the big guy never had a big surprise.
I dunno; I think he did, but it flopped before he could unleash it.

All we know is there was a post at the DUmp claiming Socialist Steve is back.
DUmmies lie, all the time, and every time.
I remember when the Las Vegas Leviathan posted here several times, claiming to be the poor, victimized Jeanette.
For all we know, this last notice could have been from the sour, deranged Marta.
The big guy could be spending Holy Weekend in the drunk tank.
It's clear he knew we had people on the ground, so he couldn't lie about the Big Bear's Bar Blowout.
I really like the fantasy about people dropping off checks. Sounds like that wedding at the start of "The Godfather".
Re the campaign finance report, I doubt there will be one. He'll never cross the $5000 threshold in the Nebraska law.

Well, I hope the big guy's family is alright. I have no beef with them, Socialist Steve on the other hand is a different story.
Now wait a minute, didn't Socialist Steve state the bar owner offered to let his place be used for Steve's run for office?
I could have swore that he made a point that he was having it there and his opponent was jealous. Now he tells us it was the only day available?
The flyers didn't arrive until Wednesday? Is Steve insinuating that the USPS was slow in getting his materials out to the public, or did he just forget to mail them early enough?
My, my, this campaign has some serious issues.

Without them, only two people would have showed up.

Aside from postage, seven thousand three hundred pieces of mail represents a hell of a lot of folding, inserting, licking, and addressing. With the near zero support he has, that means the big guy would have to hire a bulk mailer, and somewhere, I guess the democrat party, get a list of all the names and addresses in his ward.
Anyone who's handled a Christmas card list of just a few dozen names knows what an impossible job seven thousand three hundred names would be.
So we're talking some serious money to hire a professional firm to do it. Socialist Steve can't even hire a professional barber.
The democrat party isn't going to do it for him. Even in Sarpy County, they aren't in the business of showering money on certain losers.
I'm really afraid Socialist Steve is lying again.

Hey, Steve. Press releases are free. they reach a LOT of people...SAY SOMETHING!
Ya get a few press releases with great Steve Dawes quotes in them, radio news might start mention your name.
then call a press conference...again its free. get a nice day, have it on the lawn of City Hall. Want adoring crowds? A few bags of Cheetos will lure out the occupiers...they will even chant for Cheetos.
Steve there is a LOT you can do for free. get off yer ass and say things. Its the weekend...how many doors are you knocking on? I wouldn't even need a budget to beat a lazy bum like you.

I looked at another option- Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM). The flyers are put in every mailbox within a ZIP code for a per-piece rate. I estimated 14.5 cents/flyer based on the number of flyers. https://www.usps.com/business/every-door-direct-mail.htm?
That's a lot of money to fill Bellevue's landfill with Steve Dawes flyers.

Hey, Steve? You might want to consider using the excellent webmail resources that are at your disposal on
www.electstevedawes.com
Your crack webteam there should be able to put together a far more targeted approach in getting your message out. And you don't have to spend 5 grand on a mailing!
You really should enter the 21st Century, Steve, and listen to your website team at www.electstevedawes.com.

Bulk mail, send to "resident, City of Bellevue" -- they aren't individually addressed. The post office does it.

Re the campaign finance report, I doubt there will be one. He'll never cross the $5000 threshold in the Nebraska law.
I have to tell you that Nebraska is major league ass-backwards. You can get your name on the ballot just by paying $, and you can receive money from criminals and spend that on hookers, gambling and booze under the guise of "campaign contributions" as long as you don't cross a $5K threshold. Wow.
People make fun of MA, but dang our regulations are very strict. You have to collect signatures from real live people to get your name on the ballot, and you have to report and account for every single dime that comes in and out (no service can be comped or discounted - everything has to be provided for a fee to the campaign at market rates).
OS is just making this stuff up so the misfits think he is spending money on actual campaign expenses. Fools and their money.....

I owned a printing business. I'm a press operator/mechanic! It would cost at least $500 just to do the frikkin' artwork! If it's color, you could be lookin' at a grand! Haven't seen one, so I don't know, but a CMYK flyer would cost at least $1300, and that's 2001 prices! It also depends on the size.
My press took 32" x 19" paper could more that likely print 4 on a page.
7,300 flyers would take aprox, 1900 sheets, there is waste, ya know, I don't care how good ya are. By the time you include labor, even if it was black and white, after cutting and packaging would prolly run him at least 2 grand.
Artwork, havin' the negatives made, the plates, cuttin', boxin', yeah it ain't cheap!
So we're lookin' at a total of around $3500!
Flyers, BTW, are a pain in the ass! I always charged extra since they were always a "short" run. Most of the time, ya look for 20,000 run minimum.
I bet momma ain't real happy! I bet the ol' bank account is lookin' pretty slim!

Thinking about it some more, I suspect he is setting himself up with a ready made excuse for when he has to drop out of the race "family issues" "need to spend time with the family" bla bla bla etc. Waiting on you socialist Steve Dawes candidate ward 1 Bellevue Nebraska www.electstevedawes.com
