FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Why you should write-in Munenori Kawasaki on the All-Star Ballot and not vote for Jhonny Peralta
Toronto, Ontario - April 29, 2013 - The Citizens United to Yell "Kawasaki!!!!" Super PAC (or "Kawasaki Super PAC" for short) is extremely concerned at prospect of Detroit Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta being elected onto the American League All-Star team, and has released the following campaign video:
It has been scientifically proven that Jhonny Peralta sucks. A Google search of "Johnny Peralta sucks" reveals over 900 results, but a search for "Munenori Kawasaki sucks" only reveals 3 results, with the first one linking to a site that wants to find out whether he has a girlfriend. In fact, out of all the shortstops in the American League, only Pedro Florimon sucks less than Kawasaki, mostly because no one knows who he is:

A Kawasaki Super PAC spokes person asked, "would you want your children to see a man of such suckage and concrete stature patrol shortstop for your American League All-Star team? I think not. Why don't you protect your children and baseball's future by writing-in Munenori Kawasaki?"
Fans would find that voting for Kawasaki is very easy. They can go to this link and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page (or, press "page down") where it says "Write-In." On the left where it says "Select Club", click and choose "Blue Jays", and where it says "Select Position", choose "Shortstop". Then, type in "Munenori" beside "First Name" and "Kawasaki" beside "Last Name", click "Continue", fill in the information in the next screen and click "Submit Your Vote". Fans can vote 25 times without an MLB.com account, and 10 more times once they log in.
If you believe in Kawasaki, or if you just hate Jhonny Peralta, Kawasaki Super PAC urges you to share this video on social media and use the hash-tag #WriteInKawasaki. You can read Kawasaki Super PAC's campaign launch press release here.
