Presidential Campaign Announcement Speech
Speech Transcript
Greetings my fellow Americans, my name is Colin Williams. Through this video that you are currently watching I officially announce my campaign for the position of President of the United States of America. I am running as a candidate for the Republican Independent Party or R.I.P. for short. America is at a crucial point in its history and this election will decide if the United States continues its greatness or dips below its highest potential. America has been in decline in its most important elements economics, immigration, trade, education, and foreign policy. This must change and I am the candidate that can put America on the right path to regaining its lost strength. We as a country must come together to solve the faults in these elements that made our country stand out from others. A very important slogan that will be used with my campaign will be “Bring America back to life”. America was once a powerhouse country envied by all others. Now through failed leadership and bad policy we are battling with other countries to remain relevant. If we can resurrect the spirit of that older America and regain hope amongst the American people than we can once again be that independent powerhouse of a country that we should all be proud to be a part of. Another slogan that will be used is “Make America soar again”. The representation of the United States as a whole is that of a bald eagle. That is why the mascot of this campaign is also a bald eagle. America right now is a injured bald eagle so to speak it is unable to fly or flourish. But with proper care and help this eagle can once again succeed in the world. The same goes for the United States, it needs someone to step up and get it to soar like an eagle once again. Another reason for my campaign’s mascot being the bald eagle is that I am no different than the American people just because I am running to represent them. As I venture towards the office of President I will continue to reflect the views of all Americans in government. I will remain a bald eagle the representation of the American people throughout my campaign and into office as that is what I am here for. My policies are made and supported to do the best for each element of this country. They are what the people want to happen so that we may become powerful in these areas. In the area of economics I recognize that our economy is not where it used to be. We rely on outside countries for most of our products and production especially in China. This has resulted in our jobs being outsourced to these countries leaving Americans out of work. We need to restrict unfair access to our markets by these overseas companies that give them an unfair advantage over our businesses. When businesses leave the United States they take their money with them hurting the economy. To stop this an exit tax must be implemented to encourage businesses to remain in the States to help the economy but also to employ the American people. Large businesses are also to controlling here at home. Restraints can be put in place so they do not take advantage of smaller or start up businesses that are important to the economy. We can also increase tax rates on companies in proportion to how many employees are employed within the company. Lastly we need to make businesses work for the American people. This can be done by requiring businesses to guarantee benefits for their employees. In the area of immigration I recognize that our immigration policy is out of hand and the number of illegal immigrants is hurting America immensely. Immigration can be good and opportunistic for all but it must be done legally. More rigorous background checks must be put in place to vet immigrants before entrance into the country. This is for the safety of the American people but still allows for people to come into the country. For immigrant who are cleared to come into America a more rigorous naturalization program should be implemented towards the process of becoming a citizen. This will put the new immigrants on a path towards be integrated into society easier. Also fluency in English will be required so that better communication can be achieved to break down the language barrier in this country. We must secure our borders to control immigration and to protect the American people. We wish to enter all immigrants into naturalization courses and make them an American citizen. But a background check must be done on the people entering the United States for the safety of the American people. Controlling our borders is the way to do this. Lastly and the most revolutionary of my policies that no other candidates support in that of annexing Canada into the United States. Canada is our biggest ally and has been since the beginning. Through thick and thin we have stuck together and worked to more the world a better place. Our integration with Canada is just one step away from us being the same country. We share the same views and ideas. Our identities seem the same and our relationship is unmatched. Annexing Canada is just the next step we must take to make America soar. In the area of trading I recognize that trading is very important to the United States and that other countries are beating us out on trade. So we must work to control trade better and use what we have to flourish. The same goods as those produced in the States cost less when imported from foreign nations. This cannot remain but a trade tax must be implemented to match the price of imported goods with those goods produced here at home. This will encourage buyers to buy locally sourced goods. Restrictions can be put on trade from foreign nations to stop illegal activities from countries that want an unfair advantage. Simple legislation in America and negotiations with other countries can stop this. To make sure things are done about unfair trade we must appoint smart and tough negotiators to handle these trade issues. This will ensure that something is done about trade and that American workers and businesses are not taken advantage of. If the annexing of Canada was to occur then America’s amount of resources will be boosted taking away the need for importation. If we do not rely on the importation and constant trade then our economy will benefit as we produce our own natural resources. Regulations must be put on how much we use our resources. We are hurting the environment because of our large usage of resources so we must work to lessen our impact on the environment. I recognize that our education is failing our students and not supplying for our teachers. The education for our students needs to be more extensive for this is what prepares them for their lives. Courses now are not engaging with students and is not fun to keep the students involved. Interactive courses can keep the students engaged and relay important information to them. More options and more diversity towards what each student wants their future career path may want to be earlier on in their educational experience. This is how we must revolutionize our schools for students. As for teachers teacher pay is a current issue in this country. Teachers are our educators and our student’s educators. They are an important part of our education system so they must be rewarded in this manner. Teacher pay is low so countrywide a increase in pay for teachers must be implemented. A comfortable lifestyle is the least they deserve for their hard work. We should require students to complete high school so they can take advantage of all of the opportunities available to them. This is only for the best of our students so that they can succeed in life. This will also encourage future generations to finish high school. Lastly we must make sure that our teachers are qualified to be teaching our children. Teachers need to have the proper education so that they are able to teach and our children are able to learn from them important skills. In the area of foreign policy I recognize it needs to be more well rounded and that we have many enemies in the Middle East of which we would rather use as allies. World peace is an improbable ask in today’s world but showing that America wants this could promote more friendly relations around the world. Working with our allies as one unified force to solve global issues can also push more peaceful relations. Trade is also important to foreign policy as we use this as a way to peacefully help countries in need of vital resources. With a continuation in vital trade we also will be involved in the many trade organizations around the world. In this country we can even push for and defend human rights of the American people for an example to those countries that do not fairly treat their citizens. Lastly we must simply get along with other countries and there is a few ways that this can be done. One way is to promote the CIA as they are important to our foreign policy. Another way is to represent America in foreign countries. This can be done as it is done now with our embassies. They are the example of the United States is and provide security and protection. We must make sure that our embassies make good relations and responsible agreements in the countries they are in. Finally our National Security Council must be strong and smart in its decisions about our country’s foreign policy that will directly affect our country’s future in the world. This must be fixed since it has such an important part in military issues and foreign issues to succeed as a country. These are my policies for when I get in office to bring America and the American people back to life and to soar once again. I hope these policies match what you the American people want as I wish to represent you. I hope and encourage you to vote Colin Williams for President of the United States of America on election day.
