14. Cabinet Postitions
homeland
energy secretary
secretary of state
defense secretary
attorney general
15. Homeland Security Secretary
Who: Janet Napolitano
Why: Since she is the Governor of Arizona and is used to
dealing with border problems, it comes as a natural choice that
she would fit in perfectly with out party because you can't have
freedom for your country with people from others trying to get
in. She will do a good job of protecting us by watching the
borders.

activist/environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio spends most of
his time shedding light on new ways to quot;go greenquot; and alternate
energy sources. he has recently made a documentary about
what is going to happen to the earth if something is not done to
protect it. If her were energy secretary, he would then have the
funds to do more research and try to find a way to solve the
current energy crisis. This is soomething he is very passinate
about and I know that he will not take the job lightly.
17. Secretary of State
Who:Bono
Why: As a member of many different organizations for the help
of other poor countries, Bono has been to meetings such as the
G8 Summit and has traveled all over the world. He is used to
speaking out for what he thinks is right and I have full
confidence that he will be able to deal with overseeing foreign
policies and United Nations meetings.
18. Defense Secretary
Who: Colin Powell
Why: As a former 4 star general in the army and previous
Secretary of State, Colin Powell is well informed in the way the
government and the armed forces is run. He will be able to lead
the armed forces if anything were to happen to the president
and he can independantly make calls concerning the different
sections of the Department of Defense.

Who: Eric H. Holder Jr.
Why: He has worked at the Justice Department since 1976 after
exiting Columbia Law School. He has experiencing in being a
deputy attorney general, which is just a step down from
attorney general. He has all the experience we need for
someone to help spread the FIERCE campaign.
