Why Campaign  

In addition to the possibility of getting into heaven yourself (as discussed  above on another prestigious webpage on this internet), a lot of bears can’t speak for themselves (some of the bears in the World Famous Sweet Livin’ Productions World’s Best Bear Poll can, but they are mostly at the mercy of children’s authors, screenwriters, animators, and/or voice actors, who often are too influenced by the Other Internet).  As such, it is your job to stand up for your bear of choice and speak for them.  

The Lorax did it for the trees; it is time for us to do to it for the bears.  Trees are great, but does the value of a tree exceed the value of a bear? We think not.

Ways to Campaign  

Social Media  

In recent years, social media has become increasingly popular (citation: annoying people). But annoying people should not monopolize social media (citation: antitrust laws).

Break up the monopoly by doing something good and useful on social media. Make arguments for your bear over social media platforms with links to voting.  Encourage people to visit this website frequently.  This is a great path to becoming an influencer (if you become an influencer by doing this, please contact us so that we may add you here as a citation for this statement).   

Door-to-Door 

Door-to-door campaigning has a long, storied, annoying history.  Help improve the image of door-to-door campaigns.  Go door-to-door in your neighborhood and encourage people to vote for your bear in the World Famous Sweet Livin’ Productions World’s Best Bear Poll.  They may be suspicious of you at first.  But people were suspicious of airplanes at first.  Now everyone flies and there hasn’t been a domestic commercial air traffic death in years. Get a person to vote for their favorite bear and you will teach them to fly, and safely so.  It is a lot cheaper than buying them a plane ticket or going to flight school.

Make Fliers

People love fliers, maybe.  

Make Signs 

People do love signs.  If people see something written on a sign, they will probably do it. Why wouldn’t they? You can even call a terrible movie Signs and it will eventually rake in close to half of a billion USD worldwide. Also, commissioning signs will help your local signmaker, who could always use the business (Citation: Moone Boy).   

Put Posters on the Wall of Your Local Veterinarian's Office 

People with pets love animals, obviously.  So they are more likely to participate in the World Famous Sweet Livin’ Productions World’s Best Bear Poll than the anti-animal crowd, who we don’t need to be a part of such a great venture anyway.  As such, the pro-animal crowd is a good target market to allocate your time and resources to.  If your veterinarian demands you take the sign down, ask them why they hate animals.  Remind them that if word gets out that they hate animals, they could lose business, and eventually go bankrupt, and the bank could repossess their home, allowing an animal lover to buy the home at a cheap price (all good outcomes if your veterinarian does hate animals).  No one likes hypocrites.  

In short, this cause of action will not only help your noble campaign, it will also be a good litmus test for your veterinarian and be able to tell you whether they are good or not in a way your pets never could articulate, unless your pet is a speaking bird.

Create an Expensive Television Ad and Reserve Costly Primetime Spots to Air the Ad

This has been a traditional way of political campaigns to spend money.  Why should they get to waste all of the money?   

Put a Bumper Sticker on Your Car 

Make sure fellow drivers know whom you support.  Maybe they’ll see your bear bumper sticker beside your Sweet Livin’ bumper sticker while driving behind you and vote for your bear–-but safely so, after they have pulled over for the sole purpose of voting for that same bear.  Otherwise, they may be in a self-driving vehicle.  

Make a Pin with Your Favorite Bear and Wear It 

This always works.  

These are all great ways to campaign. Perhaps you are the rare elite lucky human whose parents had the foresight to set up a trust fund with strict—-but very ethical-—restrictions to be used for the sole—-but very admirable—-purpose of funding campaigns for your favorite bear in the World Famous Sweet Livin’ Productions World Best Bear Poll.

But you might not be so fortunate in life, with your parents investing their money in your education or their choice alcohol, which unfortunately something other than Black Velvet. But rather that wallowing in your less fortunate circumstances, you are being proactive and thinking, “I know how I am going to campaign. But I don’t know how to fund it.”

Fortunately, we have been proactive and developed some funding strategies for you.

But maybe you have already (wisely) taken out a second mortgage on your home (at a good interest rate, very prudent) in order to finance your campaign. Or maybe you have just read the campaign finance advice and have translated into over 20 language for your campaign staffers.

Whichever good category you fall into, we are ready to help you vote, with are non-patented voting advice. Such wonderful advice we have made free for all, not completely unlike Joseph Glass inventing the mechanical chimney sweeping device several centuries ago to save young boys from the misery of such terrible work and chose not to patent it in order to encourage its use. Like Glass, we are anti-child labor and, maybe also like Glass, we are pro-bear. So read the purposely non-patented Voter’s Guide and be anti-All Bad Things and pro-All Good Things.

But maybe you have just read the Voter’s Guide—and have translated into over 20 language for your campaign staffers—and are ready to campaign, but want to read about previous hypothetical campaigns first so you can make sure your campaign is run successfully. Or maybe you are a historian who is tired of reading long-winded long books and would rather read long-winded previous hypothetical campaigns for the World Famous Sweet Livin’ Productions World’s Best Bear Poll.

Either way, we have provided such campaigns for you, free of charge. Knowledge is power—power that can save lives (citation: Glass, Joseph)—and we share it freely. If don’t remember history, we are doomed to repeat it (citation: common knowledge). Though, one may argue, some of these previous hypothetical campaigns may indeed be worth repeating and thus challenge the current “wisdom” of cliches and common knowledge. Judge for yourself.
