On Tuesday October 1, all of the presidential candidates attended the fundraising luncheon and delivered speeches to help voters decide who to vote for in the primaries.
Democrat Brian Torok looked promising as he approached the podium, but the audience was soon informed that his speech writer, Jack Harris, did not write a speech for him. Instead, Brian had to ad lib the entire speech. He spoke about immigration saying "we should close up the boarders, deport illegal immigrants who have committed felonies, and start a simpler process of legalization.." He also mentions that he wants to legalize drugs to get rid of the black market, but he is not a drug user.
John Oh's speech was very brief but he believes that he is a "strong, secure candidate." He mentioned that his schooling at Harvard has improved his leadership skills and his decision making skills. He also talks about the high prices at the gas pump, but doesn't give any solutions to that problem. However, he had a great presence about himself and he actually believed what he was saying, which is good to know for a presidential campaign.
Hunter Ray on the other hand was very focused on improving the overall well-being of the American people. He also spoke about immigration saying that we "should not actively seek out illegal aliens for deportation." He also wants to keep national income taxes low to uplift the middle class. Hunter had many people from the audience applauding for him throughout the speech which was somewhat distracting, but he did have a very well thought out speech.
Rebekah Kim's speech was very focused on providing equal rights to everyone. She says that "people deserve the right to make their own decisions." Just like Brian Torok, Jack Harris did not write a speech for her either, so she wrote a very brief, but well though out speech right before she went on stage. However, she did mention that she would "vow to... end discrimination" by "reviewing the Civil Rights Act of 1963." The Civil Rights Act was written in 1964, not 1963, which was a major fluke for Rebekah. Rebekah did look the classiest with her white blouse.
Chris Furter's speech was a good representation of the issues he wants fixed, especially the economy, but he did not seem very excited to be running for president. He looked very somber up at the podium as well. He wants to lower taxes on businesses but "that doesn't mean he is favoring big business." He also wants to deregulate government control in the government.
Alex Bulischek was the best speaker at the luncheon because he spoke with confidence and power and really meant what he was saying. He feels that one of the biggest things that needs to be reformed is welfare programs and he says to do this by "setting up a plan of welfare for people who need it but not become dependent on it." He also doesn't agree with Obama Care.
All of our candidates did a wonderful job at the luncheon. Next, Nicole's News will cover the highly anticipated primary elections!
