create a candidate

In this assignment, you’ll put your knowledge from both of these sections together to create a fictional presidential candidate from the party of your choice.  Follow the steps below to complete this assignment:

• Select one of the minor parties (not Democrats or Republicans).  You may use the Politics1   website or any other resource to select and research your party.
• After you’ve researched your party, create a list of 5 issues that will comprise your candidate’s platform.  Make sure it is properly based on the issues supported/opposed by your chosen party.
• Write a brief biography of your candidate.  What is his/her background?  Why is he/she running for president?  Be sure to include factors like gender, age, occupation, etc. 
• Write a 1-2 page campaign speech that your candidate could give explaining his/her platform and reason for wanting to be elected.  Be sure the speech is persuasive and realistic.
