Welcome Young Politician

 
 

Now, for your first task

Go ahead and take a piece of paper out, and jot down a few notes for your speech.     1.  What party will I run for?     2.  What type of politician do I want to be? (Senator, Congressmen, or President)     3.  What are some of the things I'd do if I were elected?

You are about to begin your journey to an elected office.  Please, we should probably get a few things straight before you begin writing your speech.  Maybe you should also do a little research.

Now comes your first big challenge.

You need to decide which political party you want to run for, and here are a few links to help you out, and could be beneficial to your decision.  Also, refreshing yourself about a lot of the elements of being a politician could be beneficial.  While you're reading through these, be thinking about the kind of things you might want to tell your audience, to better help your chances of getting elected.

CLICK here to learn about political ethics.            This is an article written by Natile Ashton, from Princeton University, and covers several points of political ethics, so that you can have them in mind later, when making your speech.

CLICK here to read the Declaration of Independence.            Probably one of the most definitive pieces that helps to describe our nation, this document is invaluable when gauging where we came from and where we are now in reference.

CLICK here to read the Constitution.            Here we have what our entire nation is based upon.  The Constitution is a very important piece of information for any politician.

CLICK here to learn about the Democrats..            This is a page of the Democrat home page, which is specially focused to what they are all about.

CLICK here to learn about the Republicans.            This is a page of the Republican home page, which is specially focused to what they are all about.

NOTE: I recommend researching both parties, despite what your affiliations are.  It would be helpful to have a good understanding of them, so as to better state your case through comparison.  Keep in mind: NO MUCK RAKING. Here's your choices; pick wisely.
