The treasurer will be in charge of managing the class money. If the class does fundraisers, you will have to make sure that all the money is accounted for and that it is put safely into a safe or the bank, whatever your school does with class funds. When the funds are spent, you will have to account to the class for where the money went and how much is left. This is a very responsible position. You must be good at math and you also must be very trustworthy. Good luck with your campaign!

Go straight to the source - call the county commissioner's campaign office.  If you can't find it, call your local Democratic or Republican party office (or whatever party is appropriate).  Whomever you call should be more than happy to send you a press kit.

If you want to get people's attention and/or probably make some of them mad, you should do a speech on the "wedge" issues (as Lou Dobbs calls them) between Republicans and Democrats, environmental issues, lowering the drinking age, abortion, foreign policy, drugs legal/illegal. Another thing is to find an issue that is at least semi-interesting within your local/state community, like something in the news perhaps, or an on going problem, or why to outlaw something, or make something into a law.

There should be something in the local newspapers . You should find something on politicans.I don't know if you would find this on the web.

High School positions are pretty easy.  The VP doesn't do much.  LOL  Just get the position and your student council advisor will explain what is expected of you.\n\nBest Wishes on the Election!\n\nSue

You work your way up though a political party starting at the local level.  It'll take years of thankless unpaid volunteer work.  Be a good student and get an advanced degree (law is a good specialty).  Work on public speaking and communication skills.  It also helps to develop an interest that can be your special area of expertise when serving the public.\n\nAfter you've worked on a few campaigns and are known, trusted and accepted by local party insiders, you may snag a lowly staffer position.\n\nWhew...that's the first ten years and you haven't even run for town council yet!\n\nAnyway, that's the way it usually works to get to the top in any field.  Lot's of grass roots experience, passion and determination coupled with a good education, some genuine skill for the task at hand and a few lucky breaks thrown in!\n\nOh yeah...and don't forget to keep your nose clean at all times...NO skeletons in the closet!

No, poltical canvassing is a legitimate way of promoting your candidate.  Sorry you find democracy inconvenient.

Make a calendar of all the hot babes & hunks (in whatever poses you think will sell) in your school and sell them to the population.(2 calendars, one babe, one hunk) While this is going on, you now sell raffle tickets whose first prize(s) is a dinner/disco date with any one of the calendar models. If a calendar is not feasible since it is April, then maybe produce a colored magazine of them instead. Who knows, you may be able to sell the magazine off campus and make bigger bucks. Be sure to include the reason you are raising funds. Show pictures of orphans and a sample school buiding for maximum impact.\n\nIf ever you find my suggestion noteworthy, could you send me a copy of the magazine?

You need to get the word out, thats the most important thing and what the organization supports. You can do this with flyers or the computer  or phone calls.You could also contact the political leaders or members of parliment in your community as well. Speak to teachers and churches, you know, things like that and Iam sure you will find the resources you need...Good luck

Would you believe the typical politician works for us Tuesday-Thursday on Capitol hill? Hillary and Kerry are busy right now trying to drum up support for their 2008 presidential election. What a shame too. All that fundraising money could go to so much better causes, since it's likely they'll lose again.

I don't have a really help ful answer for you, but I'm working as a fundraiser for different charities. So, your problem touched me instantly. I would suggest you to approach any major sponsors you may know -could be company or organisation /like, amnesty international or something like that.\nIf there are other schools with similar problems, why don't you coordinate altogether any fundraising events? Students can create things that can be sold..!\nAnother idea is to find a block on the net and through that you can make the general public aware-create a 'donate' link so someone can offer money....!\nWhen there's strong will and love for something, then changes can be achieved. I apologise for not being really help ful, but I all my positive energy and thought may be with you.\nFundraising is not easy but is all about good energy...good luck.

Surf the net with the word "fundraising ideas." There are some pre-designed ideas and schemes that you might use, depending upon your situation. You can also buy required stuff such as bands, stickers, and stuff you can sell to raise money. \n\nBut first determine your budget and then decide your apporach so that time is not wasted. Try out-of-the-box ideas like using social networks like Orkut. Create a community there, and rally people to join it. This way you can advertise your message free to a great number of people. \n\nWrite to organizations and philanthropists who may fund such cases. Depending upon her ailment, you can find specific organizations that fund the cure of that disease.\n\nTry what they did in The Apprentice: approach people who are willing to donate something for an auction. \n\nBuild a team of friends who will be staunch supporters and will reach out the maximum number of sources. Give your campaign a theme: put a smiling young picture of the lady on the posters/ badges, etc... and appeal to other mothers by using a specific slogan such as: HELP SAVE JOHN'S MOTHER.\n\nAs for a tiny idea: If you're in college, you can arrange a day of games. WE used to hold "slave auctions" in which we sold the college's most eligible guy as a date to someone for a specified time. He was bid upon. Usually, he was bought by the other (straight) guys. :)\n\nGood luck, and the best of wishes for your friend's mother. May she recover.

There are dozens of ways; its time consuming and costly.  Join local organizations and volunteer to help them in their causes.  This will demonstrate your abilities and people will grow to respect you and join you in a cause of running for office.  No matter which political part you are join the local branch of it; if there is one; and if not try to start one.  I'm in California and we have "central committees" for the parties in each county and they are fairly easy to join.  \n\nGet ready to be a donor for people that have started before you.  It helps to have them as friends in case appointments come up; or you need an endorsement from them later.

Why not wait until the answer to "Who is running?" is obvious before choosing? If there is someone you know you want, you can encourage them. Sen. Obama said no at first, but many people encouraged him. Otherwise, wait for the primaries.
