what do you think of my speech?

Hey guys! If you don't know me already, I'm _____, and I'm, of course, running for freshman class secretary. Few things you guys might want to know about me before you vote for me: I enjoy long elevator rides, getting caught in the rain, palindromes.. and you could pretty much say that I've done it all. Seriously, I have. I've eaten pizza in Italy and had hot chocolate in Spain. I've washed my face where Jesus was baptized—I'm not even Christian, and I think that's pretty sweet. I've gone swimming with stingrays and parasailing over the Atlantic. And last weekend, I saw Lady Gaga. It was probably the best experience of my life. While she was singing the song “Teeth”, she came up to the edge of the stage, so close to me that I could see her teeth. During that song, I was touching people who were touching Lady Gaga. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, if Lady Gaga were to have gotten struck by lightening, I would have died with her. And if I had died, people probably would have been able to say that I lived a pretty full and exciting life and that I could die in peace because I've done all of these really cool things. But despite doing all these really cool things, I would not be happy with the life I lived. There's still one thing on my bucket list that I haven't completed. That one thing is become the freshman secretary for the class of 2014. It seems like a trivial thing, but it's actually been something that I've been looking forward to for a really long time! Seriously, if you don't believe me, take a look. (pulls out bucket list) Right there.

So guys, let me complete my final life goal. I promise to do my best. I'll be more than just the person who writes stuff down. I'll be the person who takes your suggestions, puts them in a pretty little binder with cool tab dividers and gives you a voice. Vote me for freshman secretary for the class of 2014.

    I think you went overboard. Perhaps it's humor you are trying to inject to your speech, or just something different. But if you do ask me, you'd have to concentrate on what you can do as secretary, and that's where you add the humor and concentrate on making it different. People wouldn't really care where you've been or what you've done. And besides, if your final life goal is just being the class secretary...then you are missing out on a lot of things, after all.

    Although I did like this part:

    "I'll be more than just the person who writes stuff down. I'll be the person who takes your suggestions, puts them in a pretty little binder with cool tab dividers and gives you a voice."

    Don't get me wrong. You can write, but I guess this kind of writing isn't appropriate for this kind of speech.

    Good luck, and may you win :)

    Hate speech = unfastened speech? Yes, hate speech at the side of all different speech is included beneath the primary modification. The first modification reads as follows: Congress shall make no regulation respecting an status quo of faith, or prohibiting the unfastened undertaking thereof; or abridging the liberty of speech, or of the clicking; or the proper of the individuals peaceably to construct, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Any speech limit legislation, that have been handed, are unconstitutional, interval. The situation is that we've got a public who of their lack of information makes it possible for those legislation to stay in position. “Hate speech is included by means of first modification, thus all hate crime legislation will have to be repealed.” I agree 100 percentage. To me, those legislation are naturally discriminatory. In a nation wherein we're all intended to be same within the eyes of our executive, why might crimes towards one institution obtain harsher sentences than the ones crimes dedicated towards one more institution? Is one institution extra valued at of safety? It isn't the position of the federal government to control morality. If I desire to hate gays, lesbians, blacks, or anything, I have that proper. Besides, we would not have those hate crime legislation. We have already got legislation at the books, which make terroristic hobbies unlawful. Targeting a institution of individuals after which mostly committing crimes towards that institution is similar to surroundings off a bomb in a crowded marketplace. The target is to encourage worry in each the ones situations. Any member who engages in both of those crimes, will have to be categorized a terrorist and sentenced therefore. EDIT PFO – Please confer with my phrase for phrase quote of the primary Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Where precisely does it say that speech, which would incite violence, is NOT included? Bustersmycat – You say, “Not strictly actual. Free speech isn't limitless, nor will have to it's. The historical shouting FIRE in a theater argument.” You are improper. I would be sitting in a theater, flip to my pal and in a gentle voice that simplest he would listen say, “fireplace” the entire approach by way of the film and no longer get in hindrance. My speech was once no longer limited. However if I have been to get up and yell, “fireplace”, I might be charged with inciting a rebel, no longer a speech violation. It is your movements, no longer your phrases, which might be being penalized. In end result, I might be making a concern, which poses a public chance. Rich okay – You say, “My proper to freedom of expression ends at your nostril.” You also are improper. I have got to refer you to the Bill of Rights. If you do away with the whole thing, that doesn’t manage unfastened speech, it might learn like this: Congress shall make no regulation abridging the liberty of speech. Regardless of the way a lot some thing would offend you, I have each and every proper to mention it. Any legislation, which contradict the Bill of Rights, is unconstitutional, as I have acknowledged earlier. People must get up. We have had and nonetheless are having our rights stripped from us by means of unconstitutional legislation and individuals simply allow it occur. Why? I feel it's on the grounds that individuals have come to be complacent. I don’t believe individuals quite importance their freedom anymore and it makes me unwell.

    It kind of sounds like you're overdoing it, I mean all this for freshmen rep? People really aren't going to care about what you've done in your lifetime, they're going to care about what you're going to do as secretary. Are you responsible? Are you going to use your time to benefit the school and the freshmen class? Put those things in your speech, not just a big list of things you've done in your lifetime.

    It's okay, but I have always been told to split my speeches into paragraphs, kind of like an small essay.

    At the beginning of each paragraph should something like this: First of all, next, Thirdly Finally, and stuff like that.

    Interesting speech by the way ;)
