The page uses directive language ('need to see and read') targeting a specific voter segment, provides attack messaging, and offers research backup. This is instructional guidance for paid media, not direct voter persuasion or internal press strategy. The intended audience appears to be outside spenders who can run ads making voters see and read the message.
