Secretary of State

The secretary of state speaks for the Unites States in the United Nation and international organization. Also, the secretary of state negotiates treaties and makes agreements with foreign nation. It is important to pick someone who can represent the country. We picked Hilary Clinton for secretary of state. She ran for presidential candidate and she worked with his husband, former president Bill Clinton. As a member of the senate Armed Services committee, she has visited 80 countries. We thought that she is well experienced for this position.

Treasury Secretary

Treasury Secretary is The nation's chief financial officer formulating domestic and international financial, economic and tax policy. Also, borrows money to pay government's bills, oversees regulation of national bank and savings instituitions, directs the design and manufacture of currency and runs the internal Revenue Service.

Janet Napolitano is the governor of Arizona. Arizona was the first state which started its own homeland security strategy. She was first governor to call national security to be stationed at southern boarder.

Education Secretary

- In charge of national education and trying to achieve excellence and equal opportunities. -James B Hunt Jr. was chosen as the Education Secretary because as governor of North Carolina, he improved his states education systems and brought up the states test scores.

- In the Free Party, we believe that education is important and the No-Child-Left-Behind law should be reconstructed or all together abolished.

Defense Secretary - In charge of armed forces and military matters. - Robert M. Gates was chosen because of his experience with both Afghanistan and Pakistan. - The free party needs someone who can take control, and Robert M. Gates has had experience under the Clinton Presidency so we believe he is well equipped for the job.
