Language of Carly Fiorina


https://up-project.org/mission.php

This link provides a direct route to Carly Fiorina's Up Project website. On this website Carly provides a Mission Statement, and most mission statements are written as a declaration of a candidate's view points and core purpose. Throughout Carly's mission statement she uses multiple examples of American's unlocking their full potential, although this idea has been a focal point of my past blog postings, this theme has been a major aspect of Carly's campaign.  

Through the use of Carly’s political jargon we are able to appropriate our stance on different issues to the way Carly views her solutions. Carly begins “Stacking the Deck” in her mission statement by providing the views solely in favor of her beliefs and ideals. This is proved through her idea of targeting women voters and maximizing their full potential by using technology, through the use of the Up Project.

I believe Carly’s Up Project campaign will prove to be successful not only because of the publicity the project has been receiving via social media, but because of the new ideas that Carly stands for. Many candidates claim to have an interest in women’s rights and the betterment of women as a whole, but little publicly state their devotion to the issue. Carly has stated her stance on the issue, which is bridging the gap between women and technology, and has vowed to do everything she can within her campaign to accomplish it.

  1. I definitely see how her stance for woman's rights will benefit her. She has already defined what it seems that her central message and campaign is based around accomplishing the gap between technology and woman.

  2. I think you made valid points and provided evidence of what she wants to do. What ways do you believe that she will attempt to win more voters through other viewpoints? Does she have this type of compassionate-- for lack of a better term-- stance on other important issues as well?

    1. I believe that Carly will start reaching out to a younger demographic as time prevails. Yes, she does. I only have decided to mainly focus on her attempt to gain women's votes, but she is very passionate about other important issues.
