The page explicitly instructs which voter segments should see or hear specific messages via particular media channels (online, radio, mailboxes). This is directive guidance to outside groups on ad targeting and messaging, not voter-facing persuasion or a standard press kit. The segmented audience and channel cues are classic red-boxing signals.
