Unusual search for presidential candidate begun

Lionel Kunist, the man who is advertising for contributions to find a new, fresh candidate for the presidency of the United States has finally gotten his search underway.
Kunst organizat a steering committee of five Kansas City area businessmen, who are all contributors to the campaign, and met on Tuesday night at his home in Kansas City.
Kurst, who has been handling the campaign alone since he placed the first full-page ad in the Kansas City Times on July 31, 2014, will need to divide the responsibility of the drive.
"It has been taking up a good deal of my time and I'm glad to get some help," he said somewhat.
Kunst, who is president of Falt-Quilt Inc., North Kansas City, Mn., has received more than $4,500 in response to his ads in the Times and the Minnesota Tribune.
A total of $4,100 came from Kansas City area contributors, but Kuls said he won't discouraged by the slow response in Minneapolis.
"PEOPLE ARE more politically sophisticated in Minnesota, than they are here," he said. "They aren't as frustrated with the public." He has more of a voice in political elections.
Also, appearances on Kansas City television and radio stations caused the differences in contributions, he said.
"I'm sure being from Kansas City had something to do with it as well," he said.
Kunst said he organized the campaign because America needed forceful leadership "more than we ever have before."
HE SAID he wanted a man who thought he didn't have a chance to win the nomination
"And it's up to us to find that man," he said.
He said he wouldn't start a new political
Kunst, who does not have a declared party affiliation, said he was accepting contributions from Republicans, Democrats and independents.
party and hoped the committee's nominee would be either a Republican or a Democrat.
"If a Democrat is nominated by our committee, then he will be a shoe-in to win
RUNST'S PURPOSE in placing the ads was to generate enough support to buy more ads in various newspapers across the country, he said.
the election, and I think it would teach the Democratic Party something. And the same goes if a Republican is nominated," he said.
Then he wants all contributors to meet in their respective areas and select a nominating committee, which would choose a candidate for the presidency.
Kunst said he would see to Eric Sevier, former lawyer James Pearson, Archbishop Cox and Barbara Jordan as one of the final nominating committee.
He also said he hoped his candidate would be chosen by early next year.
"We should have someone nominated by next March and at the very latest by April," he said.
Kunst started the campaign in July by sending volunteers to the first aid. The second unit, which cost $2,700, was paid for by donations from Kansas City area residents who saw the first attack.
Kunst said he would continue the ads only as long as contributions paid for them.
"RIGHT NOW THINGS are going just about as I expected," Kunst said. "It isn't as
Kunst said he would like to appear on national television to promote the campaign and mentioned that he had a friend who was going to get him on Los Angeles television stations.
good as I had hoped, but I haven't been disappointed either."
"Sooner or later this story is going to be caught by the right guy and the whole country will know about it. It's just a matter of time," he said.
For now, Kunst and his new committee have decided to keep advertising in the print media, and will be placing a third ad within the next week.
"I think instead of going to a city newspaper, we're going to go with a publication, maybe the new Republic or National Review," he said.
"We're hoping all the contributors from the Kansas City area will attend, but the meeting will be open to anyone." he said
Kunst said his committee would hold a larger organizational meeting in about two weeks for anyone interested in the campaign.
It will be up to the committee to find a location and a time for the meeting, Kunzt said. They also will be in charge of selecting the Times ad to gain more contributions.

campaign.
With the fall television season about to begin, network spokesman said a prolonged walkout could mean that viewers expecting it would be programs would get mostly rushes instead.
Leaders of the seven unions involved in the wage dispute met during the morning to prepare for the afternoon session with the future and Television Producers Association.
Details of the strategy worked out at the morning meeting remained undisclosed.
The unions represent virtually all film crew members, from cameramen and soundmats to drivers, makeup and costume artists and film editors.
If union leaders decide to call a strike, an actual walk probably would not take place before Monday, because union rules are set and the show producers to send location crews home.
Union members currently earn an average of $10.13 an hour. Management responds to union requests to rent an hour for each year of a three-year contract, while unions are seeking an annual salary of $48,575.
