The page contains explicit media-buy instructions directing outside groups on which channels, timing, targeting, and message themes to use for advertising. It includes segmented voter targeting and asset provisioning (B-roll), which are hallmarks of red-box guidance. The language is directive and addressed to whoever would run the ads, not to voters or journalists.
