Here are the instructions from eHOW on how to prepare to run for office...a "running for office for dummies" so to speak. Let's all run for office but first take your personal inventory (a step some candidates seem not to do)...IT's STEP 1!!!! :
Step 1 Take a personal inventory. Do you have the time, family support, name recognition, drive to win and public speaking skills necessary to run a good campaign?
Step 2 Get involved in your community, and join both civic (Rotary and Kiwanis) and political (local Democrat or Republican club) organizations.
Step 3 Increase your credibility by learning more about the issues that concern you.
Step 4 Volunteer for causes like the PTA if your passion is education, or the neighborhood watch if you're interested in fighting crime.
Step 5 Build grassroots support. Make a list of your fellow club members, family, friends and colleagues you think will support you. The longer the list, the stronger your campaign will be.
Step 6 Research the office you want to hold. Who will vote in the election, what will you do as an elected official, and what legal obligations do you have to meet? Your local Board of Elections can help you with demographics and legal questions; attending meetings of the office you want to hold will familiarize you with the duties.
Step 7 Share with your family all the information you've gathered, and decide if running for office is right for you.
These seven steps is all you have to do....good luck ;)
...apologies for those of you that don't see the humor in the fact that ehow actually has dummy style simplistic answers to running for a public office and that people would actually ask ehoe.com in the first place since I find this hysterical
