Civics 101

Student Contest Announcement: Stump Speech

Can you tell us what America needs?
In this year’s Student Contest, we’re looking for your stump speech, that 60-second pitch to the nation on what you’d focus on if you were running for president. What are the most important issues? How would you fix them?
All students are welcome to contribute to this contest.
The winning speeches will be assembled and released to our Civics 101 audience. The deadline is 12/31.
To submit, record a 60-second or so voice memo of your stump speech on either your phone or computer and send it to <a href="mailto:nick@civics101podcast.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">nick@civics101podcast.org</a>. Make sure to tell us your name and your school!
Alternatively, you can leave your stump speech on our Civics Hotline by calling 202-798-6865. Good luck!

What's the difference between the House and the Senate? How do congressional investigations work? What is Federalist X actually about? Civics 101 is the podcast refresher course on the basics of how our democracy works.
