Home land security by helen

As President, with Joe Biden my plan for homeland security will provide the leadership and strategies to strengthen our security at home. We have a solid plan that will help prevent tarriest attacks especially after 9/11. We will prepare, and plan for emergencies and natural disasters. Lastly we will ensure that the federal government works with states, localities, and the private sector as a true partner in prevention, mitigation, and response.

How was my role important in the overall campaign of the canidate?

My role was important because it helped talked about the issues. Also, it helped my group be aware of what Barack Obama was for and how he was going to help our nation. I also was important because I helped the policy writer figure out some other issues to talk about and I helped the campaign manager figure out about Barack Obama's life. I think I was pretty important and I hope my group members think so too.



What was the most vital part of my job?

The most vital part of my job was telling everyone about the issues and what change Barack Obama was going to do for our natuion. I think it was most important because when you vote you should know about the issues the canidate is going to face. When I wrote my speech I tried to make the main idea the issues because I thought that was the most important thing about writing a speech. I also tried to seemed like it was coming from Barack Obama's point of view because I think that makes the speech more beliviable.



Was it necessary to coordinate and cooperate with my team members? Why? How was this accomplished?

It was defintely necessary to cooperate with my team members because I and to work with the policy writer to figure out what issues she talking about, so I could talk about them in my speech. Also, I had to work with my campaign manager to figure out all the facts about Barack Obama's life, so I could talk about them in my speech. I had to work with them to make my speech a better piece and to make sure mine speech was hte best it could be. We accomplised working together by talking with eachother and making sure we communicated with eachother enough.



What five things did you learn about the role of president during this project that you did not already know? Why are these five things important?

I learned that to be the president you have to have a plan and a good one for our nation. Also, I learned that to be presidentyou have to have a strong platform. You have to have good public speaking skills because when you make a speech you can't just be shy and don't know what to say. The president has to be able to make agreements with other countries and peace treaties. The president also has to be friendly to everyone, so people will like him. These things are all important because if you don't have these skills you won't be the best president you can be. Also, these things are all the qualities of a good president, if you have these traits you will be an excellent president.

How would you describe this project to someone outside of school?
To describe this to someone outside of school I would tell them that we had a presidential campaign project. I would tell them in this project we either had to pick John McCain or Barack Obama. Then we had to research them and talk about their life and the issues they where going to focus. Each group had a campaign manager, a speechwriter, and a policy writer. After we finished researching them and typing speeches and everything we shared with the whole entire grade.

How do you think this project will make you a better voter when you are an adult?

I think it will make make me a better voter by making sure I research more about the canidates. Also, it will make me a better voter by making sure I compare the two canidates and by making sure I inform myself on the issues the candiate is going to face.

Reflection by Kyndal

My roll was important to the overall campaign by i was in charge of making sure that all the work was done and we stay on topic and focused. It is also my job that are group has great success. The most important part of my job was to find out most of the information about Barack and his life.



It was important to coordinate with my group because we had to make sure we would all be ready to turn in our work when it was due. That was accomplished by we helped each other out always when it was needed and we kept each other and did not make fun of others work.Five things i learned while doing this project was that Barack has two daughters he was married on October 18 th. He was born in Hawaii. He went to Harvard. And worked in churches.

I think this was a great idea for a project so you can learn about the campaign.

Speech by: Elena

I am Barack Obama and I am your presidential candidate for the democratic party. If you elect me I will make a change and this time a change we can believe in.

I believe our nation is falling apart and we need a strong leader who can restore our nation. I believe that leader is me. I am strong because I have been through so many hardships in my life like when my mother died. She and my grandmother were the only close family I had and losing her meant the world to me. I come from a single mother who has struggled to provide the basic needs for me. She is dead now, but when she was alive her health care plan was very bad. I will provide health care because as everyone is getting older they have an increased risk of getting sick and if they are in the hospital all the time they are going to go broke because they will need to pay for their bills. I have a health care plan that will work. My plan is to cover every American with health care and lower the cost of health care for the average American family by up to $2,500.

If you elect me I have a plan for our nation. I plan to improve our children's education by strengthening our public schools to maximize our country's natural resources, which is the American people. I will also focus on our environment, the foreign policy, and Iraq. First of all our environment is in danger. Global warming is killing many of our animals like polar bears. My plan will help the endangered animals and create millions of new green jobs. I also have a plan to help our foreign policy by preventing weapons of mass destruction and stop the genocide in Darfur. The last issue I am going to tell you about is the troops in Iraq. Millions of soldiers are dying for no reasons. I plan to try and make peace with other countries instead of going into their countries and just shooting them. Senator John McCain plans to keep millions of troops in the war and let them die instead of them being home being with their families.

I will bring change to this nation that will be good for our nation instead of making bad changes and letting our nation fall apart all over again. I will be the best possible president and you can believe it too.

obama reflection Katie

my role in this campaign was important by helping other people to get to know the candidate and see how his life was when he was young. Making shore that the people know all the information they need to decide how to vote for and persuade them to vote for Obama.

If you want to get a good result in this campaign you have to work together this was accomplished by talking to each other to know how they are doing.I learned that campaign can get very nasty in what they say to each other,it is a lot of work, it was fun to get to know the candidate,I learned that both candidates are good,working in groups can be annoying these thing are important because if you do this you can know the candidates better.I would say to them we are studying the candidates and tell them about the candidates.Now I know how to get to know the candidates.
