You need to be in the United States for at least 14 years.

 

Voting Matters

Voting makes us equal billionaires have just one vote. So do presidents. Voting is the only time (one of the few) citizens have equal power. By voting are candidates, you declare which issues are more important to you. Even if the other people win they still know. How many people want to work on other issues?


Primaries

A primary is an election but we don’t get a president at the end of it. Each primary is a pre election that determines one who will run for president. Candidates use primaries to get party members and media executed about them.

Some of them also need to determine that they are electable. They may have to prove they over come controversial parts of their past, such as divorce, or show they have a chance to win the election after having lost others.

Primary season starts in Iowa and New Hampshire. These two contests are so import and that candidates start campaigning three years in advanced. No matter when they are should all these primary’s are mini contests that declare who will complete in the mega contests. The November election for the president of the United States.  

Campaign Spending

In 2004 democrat John Kerry and republic George w bush spent a total   of 620 million for T.V time alone most candidates don’t have this kind of money in there own bank accounts. It has to come from somewhere else. Wouldn’t it be great if people contributed money to company’s just because there trusted.
