The Truth.\nHere are examples use what is accurate for you:\n\nwork for better student govt\nthe voice for the students\norganized\nplan to attend meetings and clubs\navailable to all students concerns\nI can get things done and make school a better place to be\nI will rally for more perks and neccesities for students (like better food, snacks, longer assembly, better teachers, better clubs etc)\nI get great grades\nI care about you\n\nRemember it is all in your presentation of yourself. If you are upbeat, professional, and come off as a strong leader the others will see that in you. Just because the other girl is more popular, it does not mean she will make a better President. Believe in yourself first and then others will believe in you. Get out there and let them see your OPTIMISTIC.

When my daughter ran for President in her club, she went with a "Be a Winner, vote for (name)" theme. We went to the $1 store and bought a bag of cheap medals on red, white and blue ribbons. You know the kind that is bestowed upon winners at say the Olympics. Then hot glued a round paper to the medal. One side said "Be a Winner" and on the other side "Vote for (name)".  She did win.  \n\nThat same theme could be used on your posters. Also, you can start as well as end your speech with that phrase. An attention getter at the beginning and end is always good.\n\nGood luck to you!

be as mean as you can and call them as many names as possible, and then see if they get one. if you are trying to teach a democrat, or are one yourself, it may not work very well and may earn responses such as "LIAR!" "stupid!" or even "oil stock investor!" whereas if you or the other person is a republican, you will soon be hearing "well you have a big head and you hug trees, but you still eat their fruit!"

In your next letter add -how he is not (or has) representing you or the people you know. And he will not get your vote again unless he does. And mean it! \n\nOtherwise it is fine. Thanks for writing.

Of course no one should tell you how to vote, but they should be telling you why to vote for a particular individual. I tend to be all over the place when I vote, and it's because I look at the issues and the individual and make a decission accordingly.

Perhaps start off with a Hi, and then a thoughtful pause, silence is a wonderful tool for tricking your audience into paying attention. Once they are listening, then you can approach them as a friend and explain what you are going to talk about.\n\nExample;\n\nHi, most of you all know me but those who doesnt know me i m ...... ....... from grade ........ and i m running for the school's President.\n\nThis morning when i woke up, my younger brother/sister asked me tht if i would become the President just like George Bush, i smiled at him or her and told tht ' nah, its more complicated, if i m elected as a president my duties and purposes are slightly more complicated than George Bush.....i m going to increase lunch and sports hours and tht, tht is more complicated, do you agree?......then you start on....

First and foremost, congratulations on your position.  You have already influenced someone as your election shows.\n\nI think you need to sit down and think about what the President of the Council's duties should be and how you will be able to fit them.  Then mold those ideas into an oratory to present at the meeting. \n\nI assume you have knowledge of what the council has been looking at recently as far as issues.  Maybe it is a good time to reach out to the other members just to hear their opinions.   Part of leadership is giving others the freedom to express themselves.  You may learn something new, or at least find some allies along the way.\n\nGood luck to you.  Let us know how you did.

Go for it; I love this idea, maybe if we fight back they'll stop bothering us with their crap.  I hate it when you go into the polling place and they gang up on you before you get it.  I tell them all to leave me alone.

Start with a nice ice breaker ..a joke..like........I used to be a treasure hunter before I applied and got the job as a treasurer...ha..ha got it ?\nJust be yourself, tell the audience what you stand for and why you want the job,,what you want to accomplish and how it will benefit the people who you represent....people are easily sold on integrity and honesty.. if you try to flash too many things..they will see you as ignoramous, and vain.\n\nBEST IS TO BE YOUR TRUE SELF

For me, i think that to get many votes you should just be overall nice with the other students. It also helps if everyone knows who you are, so you should join in plenty of activities so a lot of people will know you. HOPE THIS HELPS! GOOD LUCK IF YOUR RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!! IT TAKES ALOT OF GUTS!

"The Democratic Party is one of the two political parties forming a useless oligarchy in the United States."\n\nSorry, I'm very cynical. Perhaps you could choose one particular issue, such as their stance on abortion or the death penalty, and provide some background as to why they decided to be pro or con. Either that, or give a synopsis of their views on a few different issues and then provide an overall opinion of their mindset - that could be your opening line. Maybe you could try explaining why the Democrats seem to appeal more to the young.

Why would you be the best treasurer?\n\nI don't like it when you say, "If elected I promisee to do my best to accomplish all duties that are assigned to me."  This is very abstract.  You should be more specific.  Say something like,\n\n"If elected, I will work hard to ensure that our money is spent in the best way possible, and that all expenditures are accounted for.  I will look for ways to save money, so that our budget can be stretched to include more of the things YOU want, like dances and theme days!"

I VOTED BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!  BE LIVE IT OR NOT ONE PERSON CAN.\n\nSee I told you so look how close the races were. People can make a difference and need to instead of sitting on the sidelines hollering.

NOW Is The Time To CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN And Let Your STATE REPRESENTATIVES Know How You Feel About This Issue\n\n\nIF YOU Want YOUR VOICE To Be Heard THIS IS WHERE IT COUNTS\n\nDO NOT Let WASHINGTON Decide The Fate Of This Issue\n\nIF You Are A STUDENT...ALERT Your PARENTS To CALL TODAY

Volunteer for a political party while you search out the best and most affordable option. Learning on the "job" is the best way to improve your education while building a resume and developing useful contacts for future opportunities.\n\nIf you have true passion and drive for politics when volunteering you may find yourself being offered a paying position before you attend a single class. And that can influence your pool of options. Also there are many leadership training programs related to specific partisian agendas. Embedding yourself within a party will gain you insight into which ones offer the type of intense focus for the least amount of cash. Read everything. Reading is still the best cheap/free education in the world. Good luck!
