The candidate is chosen by the partymates.

it's always best to rate each candidate individually.  The only advantage of voting a straight ticket is to avoid political gridlock.  \n\nBut, if quality people are elected from either party, then gridlock won't be a problem anyway.

I don't know any candidates.  But you should open you political spectrum beyond just abortion.  A lot of other things happening other than abortion.

You have to weed out some applicants when there are too many to enroll...what else would you recommend? Race, gender? NOT!

The only problem with it is that Condi doesn't have the political backing in the party to pull it off.  Why put up a candidate that doesn't have a chance?  Great premise though.  Let me know when the book comes out.

Sometimes the requirements differ depending on the office.  Most offices will require you to submit some type of application and pay a fee.  You may need to pay a fee to cover the costs of printing your biography in the ballot pamphlet.  Some offices might also require you to submit a petition with a certain number of signatures.  You may need to run in a primary election if you are running for a partisan office.  You should check with local registrar of voters or other local election officials for more information.\n\nIn terms of conducting your campaing, be sure to study local campaigns.  There are plenty of people who are willing to sell their services.  You can buy campaign signs, solicit donations, knock on doors, do phone banking and all sorts of things depending on how much support you have.

I vote on the issues. If the person who's most qualified happens to be Christian, then so be it. If they happen to be atheist, that's great as well.

Generally employers do not want to hear about what you want to do in the future but what you can do for them right now.  Your friend needs to reign himself in.  It's great he wants to be president someday but how is that relevent to the person who's supposed to hire him?\n\nHe's much better off staying away from his life ambitions and discussing directly what he can do for the campaign, how hard he will work and the rewards he will feel by working on said campaign.\n\nAlso, I don't recommend ever saying you'll postpone school for someone else.  That sounds more desparate than earnest.  Rather, remember it's no one's business what you do with your own time.  It's only important for your prospective employer to know that you will be dedicated and not let anything get in the way of your work.  How you manage that isn't important to them, nor should you just offer information like that.\n\nThink of a cover letter and a resume as trying to get a date.  You want the person you're interested in to be intrigued but you don't want to show em everything you've got.  Let them want to ask you questions and keep them interested.

I would thank him for showing interest in the electoral process and maybe ask him if he would like to join my gay friends, black and Hispanic friends as we go around registering people to vote. We don't have to discuss political viewpoints, we just want people to vote.

No, you are dealing with the government, go and fill out their darn form. during the interview, explain to the person how you have been looking for work as well as the job , date and time you sent an application, it would help if you had had an interview and was turned down.

If one isn't willing to be truthfull with the organization that evaluates one's eligibility for citizenship then it seems reasonable to me that the applicant be denied.\n   Citing other legal offenses that are pardonable as a reason to allow people to try gain fraudulent immigration is fallacious. Firstly there is no guarantee that a waiver will be provided for ANY criminal activity, and secondly the immigration process requires as a basis that good faith and truthful information be provided in order to make fair descisions. One who purposely tries to undermine this shouldn't be crying foul when caught playing that game.

Maybe you should put "for requirements call @ (your #)" and you could either mail them the requirements, you could tell them over the phone, or you could have them come in and maybe kill 2 birds with one stone (they will know and maybe apply and interview)....otherwise there would be too many words to put in a newspaper ad

There are a number of controversial propositions that need attention.  I hope to defeat some and support some.  I also want to give my vote to some worthy candidates.\n\nWhat did you hope to accomplish with your vote?

If you know someone who is down with politics, then ask them.

If you are after a job in Government department they sometimes seek to establish your character and politics as well as if you have any crime record. This may include interviewing your collegues as well as you.Depends on the role of the department you are seeking to join. Of particular concerns to defence depts include how much debt you may be in or if you gamble. Basically anything that may pose a risk to security
