Our group has been working with an group to promote awareness of the issues heading into the election - especially issues related to social services.

We are promoting a candidate as a write in for president and have college related products being auctioned off to "raise money for his campaign". It has helped us to generate press and get attention out and people thinking about issues and the candidates.

Currently we have a donation from Pong-a-Long beer pong tables on auction as they like that we are reaching college students in a different manner.

Does anyone have other product ideas that are offbeat and crazy that would be of interest. We have been auctioning them off on ebay by working the auction into stories about our candidates position on issues.

You can read about our candidate at his blog: http://www.myspace.com/wickgraves

You could do other things to go along with the beer pong themes. Like cups that say "Vote _____", the people that use them will be having fun and of legal voting age (hopefully) so that would be a good audience to promote it too. It's also a lot more fun than reading an article online or seeing the guys name on the news, and it's different so it would stand out more.

If I saw that I would check the guy out, wouldn't necessarily vote until I read more about him though. Gotta make an educated vote.
