From LKSOC (the Larry Kissell School of Original Campaigning) comes the following event, which Under The Dome already calls "the most creative political event of the year".
The Democratic Congressional candidate will host free lead screening of toys from noon to 3 p.m. this Friday in downtown Concord.
"Not only as a candidate for Congress, but as a parent and school teacher, I'm concerned about dangerous imports and the safety of our children," says Kissell, "I don't believe you have to wait for an election to begin working on behalf of families in the 8th District."
A NC certified lead risk assessor using X-ray fluorescence, the most reliable technology available, will be on hand to examine items.
Millions of toys and children's items, many imported from China, have been recalled recently for containing lead. Lead paint is toxic and may cause brain damage, organ failure and even death in children.
While many popular toys like some lines of the Thomas the Tank Engine have already been removed from shelves, the list of toxic toys continues to grow and parents may be unaware that Holiday items purchased for gifts or already in their home may hold a deadly threat to developing children. The public is invited to join Kissell this Friday, December 21 from noon to 3 p.m. in Downtown Concord for the free toy lead screening service.
The event location is 9 Union Street, Concord, near the intersection of Union and Cabarrus Avenue. I hope to see you there!

Cool, this tops his whole "gas for $.98 thing he did during his last campaign.
I should point out that the major toy companies have all admitted that they screwed up, not the Chinese manufacturers. The American Morons sent the wrong materials specs.
I blame the school system...
