Mayer had to help his parents maintain the rest of the family by taking a part-time job at a convenience store. During High School he had a very busy schedule taking care of his studies, extracurricular activities and his part-time job. Thanks to his efforts and good grades, he was able to receive many private scholarships, merit scholarships, and aid from the government.

During college he took an interest in politics, especially focusing on economics and accounting. He volunteered in many organizations and formed part of the student government of the campus. He graduated top of his class and went to a prestigious law school. After graduating from law school, he won a local election in the state legislature. From there, his political career took off into national levels.

Oi, Congressmen, with all respect, get your asses in gear and start posting. You can have a check in but damn, the Senate has more action than us. Also, could the OP please emphasize certain roles that are needed. The House needs more Republicans and Minority Leadership.

Well maybe we could start debate on the bill, instead of making us wait for a tomorrow (a tomorrow that could be anywhere from a few minutes to an entire day in OOC time).

[Bujahla]

Since the Governors won't be doing much until the Presidential Elections, and the House needs more Republicans, I'll take on another character.

Accepted.

Yes. You can have a second character so as they are of a different party and you don't show conflicting interest.

But they do have to be of different houses?

With preference, but due to lack of Reps in House, I'm making exceptions. Keep in mind, no dual leadership

I would say the bill gets introduced when Congress opens. Otherwise, its just a bunch of senators discussing, probably in the Senate, but nothing official.

[Corenea]

Can we get some media stuff in the IC? I want to argue against Piers Morgan over stuff

[Ainin]

I really don't think a separate meeting thread is necessary.

[Britanno]

I really don't think a separate meeting thread is necessary.

Yeah, it all belongs in the IC.

[Waztaskio]

Can we get some media stuff in the IC? I want to argue against Piers Morgan over stuff

I think we might actually need someone to do news reports. I'll look into that.

Also, for the Senate. Can I be allowed to give you a new version with "Additions" like how IRL bills are almost constantly updated?

I really don't think a separate meeting thread is necessary.

And the other meeting thread, is for small little chats that can stop clogging the IC since every page is a month.

As Majority Leader, sure, go for it.

Val, stop sending me creepy TGs. T_T

Michelle Bachmann's eyes hurt what's left of my soul.

[Britanno]

Who decided that timescale? It should be an amount of OOC time, not amount of IC dupiscussion, that determines how much time has passed IC.

[Ainin]

And the other meeting thread, is for small little chats that can stop clogging the IC since every page is a month.

I think that should be changed to something more flexible.

[Valentir]

Val, stop sending me creepy TGs. T_T

Michelle Bachmann's eyes hurt what's left of my soul.

GOOD! DYE INSIDE A LITTLE EVERY TIME YOU SEE MY EYES!

Start studying guys because we will be doing everything. One page of IC is one month set in stone now. This is going to be highly detailed :3. Time is flexible, however, and some months may take longer (due to conversations). If you guys start missing stuff on these links, I will be filling in for you guys.

Who else is Republican in the House?

[Hobbesistan]

moved the SoD-JCOS meeting to the meeting thread.

Michelle Bachmann's eyes hurt what's left of my soul.

GOOD! DYE INSIDE A LITTLE EVERY TIME YOU SEE MY EYES!

*Endless tears*

Save your fiery glares for the Democrats. Oh, and go prepare a moving prayer/speech for the Senate on the first day. :3

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... A/htmlview

From an OOC point of view, there's only two of you.

I presume more will be RPed by the OPs (with voting and such) in some things though.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

If Rep. Fletcher is proposing a gay marriage hill there is the gay congressman from Massachusetts who would co sponsor it.

[Waztaskio]

Uploaded the updated version of the bill, to the Senate again for deliberations.

[Ainin]

Why is there a Constitutionalist senator?

[Britanno]

If Rep. Fletcher is proposing a gay marriage hill there is the gay congressman from Massachusetts who would co sponsor it.

Is he openly gay?
