Welcome to the official campaign web site of the squirrels, inhabitants of the UW campus. First we wanted your food; now we want your student government! We want EVERY position!

Why are we running? To bring attention to the elections most ignore. To reveal how most view the ASUW -- a powerless do nothing government. Lastly, because it's funny.

THE AFTERMATH Ah Nuts. While the squirrel vote increased eight-fold, it was nowhere near enough to threaten any of the candidates. Well hey, we made front page of the Daily twice! Anyways thanks to all those who helped -- please write us so we can hear we you did and thank you. Go Squirrels!

A quote from the Daily: "This has a lot to do with frustration me and my classmates feel about the ineffectualness of the ASUW. Sure they bring movies to HUB and decide how to allocate funds to student groups, but they really don't affect the larger student population," This is an old quote -- my viewpoint has evolved since then. It should be "perceived ineffectualness" and "Sure they...but but the larger student population do not feel involved".After doing some research on the, I now believe that the campaigns are big part of the problem, not so much the ASUW anymore.

UPDATE Several groups are making signs for the squirrels independant of this campaign. That is totally fine with us; all we ask is that you do not make any direct attacks and keep the wording non-offensive. Thanks.
