Bio:

John Jenkins was born on January 20th, 1978, in New York City. He was raised in a family that struggled with paying the bills. His father George had once been a very successful business man, but when his business fell he resorted to alcohol. John's mother left the family when George's problem was getting out of control, and she left John with him.

At the age of 16, John moved in with a good friend's family. There he started to develop the desire to be a man of influence. His new father figure was a former congressman and dedicated member of the prohibition party. He had run for president several times as the party's nominee never exceeding 2.3% of the votes. John wanted to be just like this man and maybe run for president just like he did.

Upon graduating from St. Peters boys high school on Staten Island, John went to Kings College in New York City. After a year he transferred to Harvard Law to better pursue his goal of becoming a successful politician. Upon graduating from Harvard, John got a job as a legal advisor for the governor of New York. After two years of this John became a member of the prohibition party and decided to run for governor himself. He lost the campaign by a pretty considerable margin. But the next election he ran for state treasurer and won.

John stayed as treasurer for 6 years until he ran for congress in 2006. The people of New York liked him so he won and became a U.S congressman. He has kept that job till now, where he has become the prohibition party's nominee for president.

Campaign Speech:

I know that I, John Jenkins am the best, and most equipped candidate to become the president of this fine country. I, like many of you here, have come from a very rough background. But I have fought through the trials in my life and have come out with firsthand experience of some of the worst this world can throw at a person. I understand the hardship and pain that you are struggling with. My mother left when i was 6 years old, and I lived with an alcoholic abusive father for 10 years of my life. I was at my lowest point when a caring man and his family took me in as family. They treated me like I was of value. I believe that this kind of kindness and generosity is what the founders of this country saw as the future. 

The government over the years has destroyed these values by continually altering the constitution to where the founding fathers would barely recognize it. What this country needs is to stop overcomplicating everything and to return to the foundation of this country. If you have more money then most people you shouldn't be forced to pay more taxes then everyone else, but you should freely give to the poor what you have in excess.

The technology we have in this day in age is unparalleled, and we should be using it to relieve troops. Instead of spending so much money on recruiting and paying soldiers lets have a volunteer armed forces, with money going towards advancements in technological weapons. So that we can send less troops into war and save the casualties drastically. I believe there is no reason to have troops that could be utilized elsewhere in countries that can defend themselves. I would pull all our troops from these places, like Japan, and germany.

I believe I have the qualities and experience to effectively represent the fine people of this country. And to restore this great nation to the values and greatness that the founding fathers had in mind when they created the constitution. and that Abraham Lincoln had when he abolished slavery. 

Thank You.
