500 point contest

**PoTatoes** · 12-01-2006, 02:41 PM

Sorry mods if i posted in an incorrect forum, i just thought that this would fit under writing well :).

Anyways the contest is to write the best presidential speech (my nephew's running for president at his middleschool so yah he asked if i could get him one and yah

). The best speech will get you 500 points that you can spend at will. Remember its a middleschool presidential election so please no profanity and keep it clean. Try to keep it under 2 minutes so no 300000paragraph speechs.

This is the first contest im writing, so please suggest or give me constructive critism. Ill try to raise the point prize a bit more next time when i get get more. Im not a mod so i cant really get that man points

Fire away!!!!

ummm, sry if this is wrong section, but ur goin about this the wrong way man. People dont want to get on the computer to write up a speech, thats what school is for. also people dont really want to write a speech for only 500points. Try to think up something fun to catch peoples eye

500 points really isn't much. If you want, I can add in another 3000 or so, if it helps people write it. I can give more as well.

Good evening, i am running for president and i would like to present you with my thoughts and feelings towards being your president. I want to start by saying, i know the others running have some good points, but i think i can proove that i am the best candidate. Ever since i was very young, i have been trying to help people with their problems, and usually i was successful. I try my best to get a job done, even if i have to spend 20+ hours with no overtime. I like knowing that i am making progress while doing anything. I want to improve the quality of our school. This can be done by holding fund raising events, and maybe we can even purchase afew new computers for the computer lab. I would like to have the school connected with a high speed comcast connection. I would also like to have video confrencing capabilities, and we could work on group projects with other school's throughout the world. I have heard various complaints on the lunches served, and im currently seeking a solution. Afew of the teachers have been doing a less than acceptable job, and i think we can seek out some better group of educational advisors. I would also like to improve upon the after school programs. Alot of students cannot get a ride home until maybe an hour after school ends. I believe we should provide them with activities to keep them off of the street, even if for only an hour. I hope my thoughts were clear and concise, and please vote for me.

This is the speech i have written for you, i hope you like it.
