What steps do I need to take to become a politician?

Question

Ok, I have been interested in politics since I can remember.
I am sixteen and very passionate about politics, more so than many adults around me.
What would be certain things that would help me attain a position in the House?
I am planning to graduate high school of course and attend college declaring my major as Political Science and International Relations.

P.S. Please don't post if you have no info to provide. i.e. "lie. cheat. destroy lives."

Thank You.

Answer 1

Be humble and LISTEN and relate to the everyday registered voter to make sure you provide what they want. They're YOUR bosses (not the other way around), and they sign your paycheck. They'll be more likely to respond to you if they know that you were once in their shoes. Volunteer at a shelter or work fast food for awhile, so you understand how the other 90% lives and that you've actually had to work to get where you will be.

Also, I'd highly recommend completing law school. If you're planning on convincing somebody that you're worthy of being elected into a legislature, you'd better prove that you understand how the law works.

Answer 2

You give us no alternative you have to be a big liar, cheat, steal and complete racketeer, just a thug. Bush is about the worst that ever entered those White House doors along with his whole numerous come and some gone, Administration. Just be a sorry person , draw a $400,00.00 check a year and whatever else that you can accumulate and say it's missing money and you got made in the shade. Just take what you want and leave IOU"S in the Social Security Lock Box and take from the poor and give to your rich friends and you'll be a regular politician. That is all it takes., no more , no less,

Answer 3

After reading and understanding Rev 13:1-4, decide if politics is worth the price of serving the true puppeteer of ALL governments. If so, work on someones campaign to learn the ins and outs.

Answer 4

Learn to lie while smiling. Blame all the problems on a philosophy that the majority doesn't believe in, and promise big business you really have no beliefs and will adopt theirs.

Run for local office and volunteer with a local political party. They're always looking for help.

Answer 5

You need to abandon all common sense and ethics. There are other prerequisites to become an elected official (such as a particular degree or experience). Salesmanship is a helpful trait (for selling yourself and for fund raising)

Answer 6

join a local political party ask your teachers how to contact them in your area or call information. this will get you started and some one there will help you farther along.
