My fellow classmates, I have decided to run for president, I have done so because I have experience in the student government and feel that I would work for you as well as the betterment of our nation. I have run for president in representation of the Protectionist Party, a party whose central concern is that of the safety of our nation. To be safe, you need to take precautionary measures regarding everyday matters such as immigration and foreign policy, my campaign has introduced policies that would ensure a safer nation now and for things to come. There are people who want to harm the freedom of this nation, and I feel that my policies will help protect us from these threats. Illegal immigration is a major problem facing our nation today, while immigration should be made simpler for those who wish to become citizens in America, however, comprehensive background checks should be done on all incoming immigrants to trace back any potentially dangerous connections with terrorist or criminal groups. We must accept that there are people who do not want to live the american dream and those who only want to destroy it. If there are any criminals found trying to cross the border, they will be sent back to their home country for trial, if any connections to major terrorist organizations are linked to the person in question, they will be kept in America for questioning, as investigations into the connections go underway. Those who wish to obtain citizenship for a better life will obtain the same rights as a naturally born citizen. In order to protect our nation from any large scale threats such as war, our nation will not interfere with any war occurring in other countries that do not directly affect us. We will only engage in general warfare if the war affects us directly. My policy Why engage in an avoidable war because of a useless cause? I believe that the safest nation is that that is prepared for war, but does not seek one out. We are peaceful and wish to trade with countries that benefit us. All trade is inspected in case of illegal substances being shipped into our nation. Tariffs will be placed on all imported goods to help decrease the nation’s debt. As for wages of citizens, teachers are some of the most important people working today, they are tasked with helping the future generations succeed in life. Therefore, I feel that teachers should have higher wages based on experience. If I am elected, the teachers will gain a fifteen percent increase in pay. The supplies in the schools will be paid for by use of taxes. In conclusion, I feel that I could do a great service if elected. I would do my hardest to ensure that America is the safest country on Earth. The economy would benefit from the tariffs placed on all imported goods from trade with other nations. And the safety of the nation would benefit with the comprehensive background checks on all immigrants coming into the country, any immigrants with a criminal background will be sent back to their home country for trial and will not be allowed access into the country. It is important to know that America under my presidency, will be the safest and most peaceful nation. We will not enter any war if not necessary, but will always be prepared for war if it is to begin. I will work hard to protect America and the people of America. This election, don’t fret, vote Reid Barnett.
