To analyze the
conventions of this
very unique genre in
action and how they
can be used to
educate readers about
political happenings
and persuade people
to vote we will look
at three different
statements from three
different
positions
running for election
hereatUCSB.

Before we start to
analyze the different
statements we should
garner an idea of
what the average
candidate statement
looks like so that we
can compare and
contrastthem.
