Alright. How should I win the presidency?

<p>Okay. Key Club was quite a diappointment this year. Everyone signed up in the beginning just because they wanted a scholarship (yeah right. The majority makes dismal grades. They think they're great because of the bogus scholarship letters). So turns out that we dropped from 200 members to an abysmal 30 (I'm talking about people who are actually dedicated, who'll be going to convention), and most of the officers do not fulfill their obligations. As a result, this has led me to want to run for President next year, and elections are in two weeks.(and I'll be a sophomore next year). The board of officers/committee heads gave me a nod of approval, but I want to know how I should win the votes of all the others (we're talking about the whole 200, most of whom aren't even dedicated). My plan is to:</p>

<p>*Enforce the rules. If you haven't been participating or coming to the meetings, then you are out of the club. This is a no tolerance policy.</p>

<p>*Make Key Club an awesome organization, not one of the many cliche clubs out there (if that's possible. Please give me some ideas to make the club somewhat original so I come across as impressive).</p>

<p>Of course, I won't be too harsh in my speech when it concerns member involvement, but because most of the freshman class sees me as a ruthless b**** for stupid reasons, I need to find a way to win their support. Any ideas as to what I can put in my speech or what I can do to make Key Club at my school somewhat "original"? Does mentioning my G.P.A. help in convincing that I'll do a stellar job?</p>

<p>And I'm serious about this. I want to follow my friend's footsteps and be Lieutenant Governer by the end of my sophomore year.</p>

<p>uhhh, you should make friends with the members of the club.</p>

<p>In my experience, no one votes on campaign promises at the high school level. It's about being 'cool' with the members of the club, and making them feel obligated by friendship to vote for you.</p>
