Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Its April; that means School Elections season</p>

<p>Well I am running for Class Treasurer or Vice Prez.</p>

<p>The Election should be pretty competitive so I would sincerely appreciate some ideas for a campaign slogan and or other general campaign ideas </p>

<p>My first name is Michael (for all intensive rhyming purposes) by the way.</p>

<p>I searched over CC for a general thread like this and couldn't find one. Maybe this can be a help thread for anyone with the same general issues as myself? </p>

<p>Fire away witty slogans/ideas =D</p>

<p>well for your speech, make it funny. not like a complete joke, but make it funny enough so that people remember your speech. obviously, its mostly a popularity contest, but u can still win over the votes of those who don't know either candidate. </p>

<p>try something that rhymes with ur last name, michael is hard.</p>

3

<p>the key is mudslinging</p>

<p>You could also look at your opponents' slogans and make fun of them. For instance, at my school there was a candidate whose last name was Barr. The posters said:</p>

<p>"Not candy bar, _____ Barr."</p>

<p>The person running again that candidate then put up posters saying:</p>

<p>"Not candy bar, [PERSON'S NAME]!"</p>

<p>Hilarious.</p>

5

<p>^i must admit, that is freaking hilarious LOL.</p>

6

<p>I won without a slogan. =D </p>

<p>I made jokes and acted like a human being...as is my nature.</p>

<p>I even endorsed a friend of mine who lost despite having american flag pants on. Thoes things were sick.</p>

7

<p>I remember at the end of freshman year some kid made a rap as his speech... no one really knew who he was but he ended up winning. now everyone knows him and he makes a rap for every speech and has won every year.</p>

<p>Oh and congrats on the win!</p>

8

<p>^ LOL.
Epic.</p>

<p>raps win but its so not legit. makes the thing a joke.</p>

<p>Anyway, I ran for student council rep and lost but I have the job as commissioner of fundraising :)</p>

<p>BTW slogan was "too legit to quit" <<<But apparently not legit enough to vote for ;)</p>

10

<p>and un-legit enough to use the word "legit"</p>

11

<p>apparently</p>

12

<p>a girl who nobody knew also won by rapping...</p>

<p>...but, other than that, I'll tell you what wins. Really good "give-a-ways" with your name on it...like, one girl gave out glowsticks and CDS as part of her "DJ <em>(first name)</em>" theme. Another one this year handed out snapbracelets, and other 80's stuff as part of "Totally 80's theme".</p>

13

<p>I won my Senior Class President election by using Dwight's fascist speech from the Office.</p>

14

<p>I think funny but positive, flatter your classmates!</p>

15

<p>...</p>

<p>Welcome To The Fourth Reich</p>

16

<p>^ LOL...that's not funny.</p>

17

<p>same with me, I won without a slogan.</p>

18

<p>I would have run...but I'm not that popular. lol</p>

19

<p>I like the 4th reich joke. Nice</p>

<p>Student Gov is a joke at my school. But it's a small catholic school of about 650. If you lose, they put you on the "executive board" lol. It's a sweet deal. It looks good for college, even though in reality you really don't do much at all. lol.</p>

<p>I've always wanted to use Dwight's speech for something...</p>
