How to Make a Founding Delegate Video

Thank you for your interest in submitting a “Why I’m a Founding Delegate” video to Unity08. The directions below provide guidance on the video content and how to upload it to You Tube.

Video Content

Please follow these guidelines for the content of your video:

1. The video length should not exceed 1 minute.

2. Please state your name, city and state at the beginning of the video.

3. In your own words explain why you became a Unity08 Founding Delegate.

Examples:

“I’m Todd Jones of Duluth, Minnesota. I’ve become a Founding Delegate of Unity08 because our politics is broken and we need to fix it. There’s too much money and too few ideas.”

“I’m Claudia Forrester of Shiloh, Kansas. I’m a Unity08 Delegate because I don’t like how I never have a chance to say who should be on the ballot for president in November. This time I will. My voice will be heard at the Unity08 convention and national primary.”
