I don't know about you, but I'm a bit tired of human politics and think it's time to elect a Rat Terrier for President (actually, this was Shelbi - rattiegurl's - idea). So, we are going to have a summer-long contest/campaign a little different from our traditional contests.
You may run your "campaign ads" as posts under this thread - photos, or videos or both-- You may use them as your avatars, you may put your campaign slogan as your signature, etc, etc. Campaign away for your Rattie for President. You may run as many ads as you want. No limits. Enter any or all of your Ratties.
MODERATOR EDIT: PLEASE POST CAMPAIGN SPEECHES, PRESS RELEASES AND CORRESPONDCE FROM "CANDIDATES" ON THE CAMPAIGN SPEECH THREAD UNDER THIS CONTEST FORUM. Here's the link:
http://www.rat-terrier.com/Home/tabid/37/forumid/12/postid/298062/view/topic/Default.aspx
In August we will have a recap thread with final ads before voting.
So get your campaign slogans and ads ready and let's have a summer of clean honest campaigning -- no dog-food slinging, please.
We will vote the first part of September (date to be announce) for a term of one year. (After all this is doggie years)
Thanks, Shelbi for a great idea. |

Sounds like fun! Can we have everyone post their ads under this thread though? It'd be nice to be able to come here and see all of them...I think they will get lost among all the other regular photo's in the regular photo forum. |

Sure, Morgan - I actually thought about that during the night. I still think they can do slogans and avatars though. But, maybe ads here. And we will probably have a "primary" election in mid August with the final vote the very first part of September. How does that sound? I'll make the change on the original post about posting ads here.  |

| Oh yeah...definitely the avatars and slogans! I just thought it would be nice to be able to see all the ads in one location...especially when it comes time to vote, so that everyone can go through and look at all the ads again. |

Well, as Amos Campaign Manager, I would like to say that I know that Amos would make a most excellent president and I am announcing his bid for presidency this year.
Amos cannot be held responsible for the quality of his campaign literature. It has been provided by donations of his campaign manager.
 
The first 2 are too small! I'll see if I can do something about that. But The EDIT Button is BACK!!!!!!

Sydney will not be running in this campaign with her past issues of stealing and then swallowing the evidence, she feels that it would cause to much of a scandal. And Sonic is too upset to run because it was his "baby toy" that she stole and swallowed. (The vet saved it for us to see-- pretty gross) |

| As Noras' personal advisor I have informed her that no one would vote for a female candidate, let alone one that is so adamently involved the losing Ear War controversey. She then peed on my foot. Is the country ready for such an aggresive female??? Time will tell.... |

Katie wants your Nora to be her Secretary of War -- after all, they both have Ear War Controversey - and Katie is two years old. Would Nora consider such an appointment if Katie were elected? Of course, be sure to tell Nora that KS has no way in h - e - double l of ever being elected.
