Why am I running this like a Campaign?

Because it's all part of the learning process!

The Patriot Academy is essentially a simulated legislative session along with other training classes, and when you get there you serve in the role of a representative.  You're not just learning about the legislative process, you are literally immersed in it!  Which is what makes this one of the best leadership training schools around!  For this reason, all students are required, as part of the learning process, to raise their own tuition just like candidates for office.
