Campaigning Ideas

Hey Guys,

So in two weeks I start campaigning for President of my Student Union. I have about $300-400 dollars to play with and I'm looking for different ways to get people to remember the name "Jon Hendel." Here's some of my ideas so far:

Website (of course): JonHendel.com (coming soon)
Tent Cards
Ads in the papers
Business Cards with discounts on them


Any other ideas guys??!!

send $200 to dexter mowatt

these are the ones my buddy sent me:

Make sure to clearly outline the restrictions placed on your campaign from
the Chief Elections Officer

4 Issue a press release to your student newspaper about yourself and
why you would make the best candidate

4 Develop a rap about how you are the best candidate – ask an musician
friend to do one up for you

4 Create a webpage with your picture, along with how you would make the
best candidate

4 Make tepee cards to place in the cafeteria, highlighting your
platform and to vote for you

4 Condoms stating “Vote for Jon”

4 Have a friend walk around in a rented clown outfit, blowing a
whistle, with a sign draped over them stating, ”Vote for Jon”

4 Motto, “Help me, help you!”

4 Get club passes from local club and give them away as apart of your
campaign

4 Get the local bars and student pub to announce candidacy

4 Get fake tattoos made with the your name on it

4 Get friends who are in a band, go down to your residence and play
tunes, with interjections of voting for Jon

4 Post huge wall hangings, made of cloth, stating “vote for Jon”

4 Get an advertisement in the local newspaper

4 Get a few of your cute girlfriends to be your “jon jon cheerleaders”
– have them go to the cafeteria during lunch to cheer for you

4 Get another person to dress up like a fortune teller to sit down in a
high traffic area to do fortunes, and at the end of each fortune told,
he/she can state, “vote for jon”

4 Get the screen savers at the college to post “vote for jon”

make tshirts
make hats

have people wear them
have people shout your name out of loud microphones
radio commercial
tv commercial

give the $400 to the Student Union vote counter, haha

put it all in a hand of poker, if 18+

film you destroying $400 with different methods

I'm pretty shure I already told you my award winning campaine plan.

But here are some other ideas.

Use that money to pay Ryan and Dan to do a bad ass stage show for your campaine. Use the money left over for refreshments and a live band playing.

Trust me everyone will want to vote for the guy that threw the years most baddest ass party.

Also get on stage during the show and take a few nut shuts and shit, show them your a man of the people.

I'd also get a website made up. Write up a song then make a flash animation to it.

I will write the song up for you, but I can't animate flash.

YEAHHHHH.

hahaha.. thats actually not a bad idea...

Your damn right it isn't.

Make coupons with your ad on to some bar that'll get them a beer (or some cheap dink or shot) for free. Just make sure that the people know who's buying the drinks for them. Could get a little expensive, unless you print a small amount of them. But I'm sure that you would get attention for it.

Excellent idea dude.

Posters with your pic on them...... thats how I ran for student gov..

More like student gay.

Make grandiose statements making yourself seem to be greater than you are, and make demeaning statements about your opponents. Or possibly horrible rumors concerning your opponents and their various venerial diseases. If all else fails, rig the voting machinges so that no matter what they vote, you get the tally. (Contact [email address redacted] if you want some tips on these)

Edit- Use the fact that your group won "Best Overall Homegrown Group". It's gotta be worth something.

I already told him that.

But he should challenge the other opponents to a rap battle.

Oh, I didn't know you told him already.

But maybe you can get a pissing contest going. You'll already have beaten all of the girls and if you drink enough you could probably piss the farthest.
(This would also work in a dick measuring contest)

Excellent idea Ray.

Idiot.

I'd vote for the illest rapper ahed of the guy who puts his face on a poster...

Can you Handle the Hendle?
Vot for Jon And h will give you free vietnamise bon-bon's!














Image file not present in the recovered backup

hahaha... you guys are useless .. but I still love ya

yeah THC.. I've got the posters done... that's a staple in any student gov't campaign. And of course they'll be sexy as hell.

you see anything else cool that anyone did when u campaigned?


hahha.. my slogan last year was "Get a Hendel on your School"

Vote Hendel and you will live for ever.


Terms and conditions apply.

make your own beer brand ,and give out free sixpacks to everyone who votes for you

hahaha.. yeah.. that's legal...

Maybe you can try to win it based on character, strong views, great ideas, an agreeable stance on most issues, optimistic attitude, and a go-gettum' attitude.

Or you could whoop their asses in a rap-off.

yeah, I gave out free condoms taped to a card that said vote Brent for off campus/themed events lol... worked well in residence..

haha. I always think of Nerds doing this type of thing. It would be great to see a bunch ofnerds doinga rap face off. if you do film it all man.

But heres my idea (May have been said though)

Do a documentary on it. Film everything do like planning and all the stunts and ideas... then about a week or 2 before people vote show it and put it on your site... then get everyone to spred the word on it being out and all the crazy shit in it... Then I am sure you will win.

I was thinkin that.. but then I realized that no one cares. and the only thing that matters is who's name they'll remember at the ballott box.

read my post!
