WANTS
YOU
TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT
To get on the Feb. 5 presidential primary ballot in Arizona, all you need to do is fill out a nomination form and get it notarized. You don't have to pay any fee; you don't have to gather any signatures. This is, of course, assuming you're over 35 and a native-born American.
Here's how Project White House works:
Download the nomination form (see right) and fill it out.
Then let us know why you want to run for president of the United States in the Arizona primary on either the Democratic or Republican ticket.
E-mail us your campaign platform at ProjectWhiteHouse@tucsonweekly.com. It can be anything from an essay explaining why you want to run in 250 words or less to a 500-page anti-government manifesto. Include whatever supporting documents you want: a résumé, your homemade TV campaign ad, a PowerPoint presentation. We recommend that you toss in a photo.
Get the whole package to us by midnight on Monday, Dec. 10, for consideration as part of Project White House.
If we conclude that you're newsworthy, we'll give your campaign some ink. And if you're a candidate we really like, you'll have a shot at the coveted Tucson Weekly endorsement, which means we'll cover your campaign every week in January.
What if we decide you're not newsworthy enough for our pages? We'll still help you out by notarizing your campaign form for free and mailing it to Arizona Secretary of State's Office. All you have to do to secure your place on the ballot is show up at our office (at 3280 E. Hemisphere Loop, Suite 180) and sign it in our presence.
If you don't live in Tucson but still want to be part of Project White House, you can still join in the fun, but you'll be responsible for mailing your own notarized form.
