Hello my fellow citizens, my name is Joseph Malone, and I am running for the role of Vice President. My role model for being elected as a political figure of the United States is Theodore Roosevelt. I was an active participant in sports and community service. I belonged to Mepham Key Club. This club works to make the community and beyond a better place. I frequently volunteered in blood drives, food donations, and raised money for events to give to the less fortunate. In further contribution to the community, I was an altar server of Sacred Heart Church and I work in the maintenance department of World Gym. I competed for Bellmore-Merrick Swimming and Diving as one of the top swimmers on the team. I am also a silver invitational qualifier of the National Team for the Long Island Express Swim Club. My bountiful compassion and everlasting persistence are what I believe to be the ideal characteristics for the responsibilities as Vice President.
President Theodore Roosevelt was highly patriotic in his stance of foreign policy. Roosevelt led America from isolation and caused the United States to become heavily involved in World War One. He wanted America to be recognized as a powerful nation among the world. But he was also a peaceful leader who won a Nobel Prize for setting a peace compromise between Russia and Japan in the early 1900’s. I am a very patriotic citizen who will fight for my country and allied nations, if we encounter an enemy that seeks the destruction of a nation or our own. But will also help foreign countries create passive relationships with each other and the rest of the world. In a similar manner, I have, as previously mentioned, contributed greatly to others in need, including the less fortunate, my community and I plan to simultaneously aid my country. Given the situation of the War in Afghanistan, the risk of withdrawing from Afghanistan is too great. As the Taliban may very well repeat terrorist behavior towards the United States. The only solution to preventing this is to have the United States deployed in Saudi Arabia and Iranian regions where Taliban activity is minimal. Then our allies will surround Kabul, where the Taliban is most active, and we can win this war that has lasted for over a decade.
Theodore Roosevelt did not seek change in the education policy of the United States. However, he did demand that congress passed a law to properly educate women, as he was a supporter of the Women’s Suffrage movement. I will encourage administrators to create a welcoming environment to their students. Each school must recognize and accommodate to all mental and physical disabilities that these children may have. I urge teachers to always be aware of any signs of harassment or bullying within the school perimeter. They must also provide to children of all needs the resources necessary to academically succeed.
I admire Roosevelt, because he promoted wildlife conservation and ecological methods of constructing a civilization. Conserving resources and preventing pollution in the Earth makes the world a more sustainable place. Therefore, we will be provided an abundance of resources by trading with nations who will fulfill our needs. Theodore’s economic policies included an aspect of the Square Deal known as the Control of Corporations, a policy that allowed inferior business competitors to flourish while regulating larger corporations. This policy acted to minimize the influence of corrupt practices by ‘robber barons’ upon workers and capital.
I ask that if you wish to elect a Vice President that will promote peace with all nations, put more economic focus into giving to the less fortunate, and provide a plentiful harvest of resources, than you consider voting for me, Joseph Malone, as Vice President of the United States.
Here it is! Oscar's Presidential Speech to his people:
Hello there America. My name is Oscar Thompson, and I want to be your president. As someone who likes to hunt, I understand the significance of time, patience, and identifying the moment of opportunity. I am also a gamer, so I understand how to form strategies in any situation. As someone who is dedicated to creating video games, I‘ve learned to identify problems as soon as something goes wrong, and how to fix them accordingly. I try to maintain a positive attitude, and take pride in cheering up my colleagues. These skills I have are important, because my ability to adapt can create the best result in any given situation.
It is important that every american has equal and fair opportunities to be educated. It has come to my attention that more high school students are not going to school, which could impact their grades. The main question to ask is: why? Why are these kids missing school? Are they ostracized? Chronically ill? These are all possible reasons for absences, but these occurrences are likely caused by chronic absenteeism: the habit of staying away from school without a genuine reason. A problem I plan to address is lack of interest in the classroom. Our students rarely learn beyond the school infrastructure and as a result, are less engaged due to a lack of educational variety. I will apply college-level education to high schools, allowing students to conduct research in areas other than the school in which they attend.
We’ve been at war in Afghanistan for 17 years. It is because the terrorist groups within the country have caused the terror attack of 9/11. This cannot be forgiven. It is clear that retreating is not an option. The troops should stay in afghanistan and eliminate this terrorism so we shall live safely and peacefully. Only then will our troops pull out. Any sooner will mean the troops that sacrificed their lives would have been in vain and losing this war will result in America making a bad impression on nations that may consider exploiting us. We will fight for freedom and independence. If we surrender this war, this contradicts what we, as Americans, believe. I believe it is also worth mentioning, if Bush didn’t go to war against the Afghanistan terrorists, we could potentially be fighting the same war but in our country.
As we all know, national debt is growing at an alarming rate. Among the most significant contributors to this predicament, healthcare is the most imperative. This is primarily because America has the most expensive healthcare in the developed world, yet our health outcomes are similar to our fellow advanced nations. Not only is our healthcare expensive, but 30% of spending is directed towards inefficient health services. I will ensure that our healthcare prices will fall and our spending is transferred to more efficient programs.
In conclusion, when I become your president, I will assist in solving these problems I’ve addressed for you. Success may not happen overnight, but I can personally guarantee that these problems will be solved, or at the very least, not as bad as before. That’s all I have to say while I’m up here now. God bless you, and god bless America.
