Reflection by Alex

I thought that my role in the campaign was important because it is important to have a biography because you need to know about a person's life to really know what kind of person they are. Their education is important, and so is their childhood. It is good to know about a person's life before you vote. I think it is important to cooperate with my team members because the speech writer needs all the information of the biography writer and the policy writer to actuallly write the speech. We did this by giving eachother all the information and making sure everything we put in our paragraph(s) was good.

Five things I learned about the role of a president during this project is that they have to work very hard just to become the president. This is important for campaigning because they have to work so hard and spend a lot of money. I learned that in voting you don't get the total amount of votes, you just get states. You should know this so when you get to vote you'll understand it. I learned that the president has to make some very hard decisions, and either way they might have people mad at them. The president is under a lot of preasure in these situations and it's important that he can think it through and make the right decision. I've also learned that the presidents never really get any free time, especially in times like these.

I think this was a fun project. It really helped me understand a lot more, and learn a lot more about the canidates. If I were going to describe this project to someone outside of school I would say that we had a group. Each group had to pick a canidate. Then you would have to be on a campaign, and write a biography, a speech, and a policy. I think that this projct would make me a better voter when I grow up becaus e now I will know to research the canidates before I vote.

My role in this was important in the overall campaign of Barack Obama by telling people about his policies and things that he will improve in the country. The most vital part of this job was making sure that the policies of Barack Obama were true. It was very important to cooperate with my group members because they had to use some of my research in the project.





F i v e things that I learned about the role of the president in this project were that the president has to keep policies to improve the country, he has to keep his promises about the policies, policies are a critical part of the election, Barack Obama is big on lowering taxes, and John McCain healthcare plan is bad for the middle class.

My roll was important in this election because it tells you about some of the issues that Obama and Biden will try there best to fix. The most vital part of may job was to tell the five issues that Obama and Biden was trying to fix. It was very important to coordinate and cooperate with my team because some people needed information that another person already had. This was accomplished because everybody was serious and hepled each other when they needed help.



Five things I learned about this was every thing

Policy by Madison

Policy by:Madison Coleman

Barack Obama has been preaching for change like our high gas prices is one of the key issues in America. While John McCain wants oil prices to become five doallers a gallon or more. Barack has actually figured out how to use Cafe renuable fuel that gas stations can sell for two doallers a gallon or less and still make a profit.
Barack Obama is very much raising taxes on the rich but he is lowering taxes on the poor and it's not just government issues he's using the money for but he is using the money also for natural disaters. Like the hurricanes that have been hittin g the states ever so often. The taxes will also only be high for a litle while so there's no reason to make a big fuss about it.
Barack Obama will be helping in the healthcare crisis that has been going on for years. He is lowering prices on new drugs and is increasing income for pharmacy workers as well as other jobs. Which in turn will make profits for pharmacies up so they can make more medicine and vacines for people. He is also having doctors do research on new things so we can have cures that we desperatly need for diseases like cancer and aids.
Barack Obama is standing against the prices that are hurting our economy. He will give higher income to teachers so theyn can work longer and harder because we are losing teachers around america bnecause they have such msmall salaris that they can find better work anywhere. He is also giving more money to schools so they can buy new textbooks and materials to use to help improve education and our economy's future.
Barack has been trying to get the troops out of Iraq because we are losing soldiersm every day for no good reason and if we pullt hem out it will make families happier. He also is prepared for anything if they try to pull off another nine eleven so there's really no reason to keep our troops in Iraq.

My role in the campaign is important because it tells the people what the candidate's ideas are for America. It is vital for the campaign because without the speechwriter the candidate will probably have to right his own speeches. If this would happen that might cost the candidate valuable time at fundraisers and other things. It was nessary to coordinate with other members of the team because I couldn't do my part without the policy writer because I needed to know what the candidate believed. I needed to coordinate with the campaign manager because I needed to know what the candidates life was.

I learned what Obama stands for. I also learned about what he thinks on the issues. It is important because you need to know what the candidates will do if they get elected. I would describe this project as fun. I would also say it was tough and sometimes hard but over all it was fun. This project will make me a better voter because I will listen to what to the candidate has to say and not just pick.
