Hutchinson's Campaign Office
News vans surrounded the front of the Hutchinson campaign, as Legionnaires dressed in their patrol uniforms walked in and out carrying plastic filing boxes full of information as part of the ongoing criminal investigation. All that was known to the media, was that Hutchinson together with the CEO of Wal-Mart had attempted to bribe several Vanguard Party legislators in the state Senate and Assembly into switching their party affiliation to Republican. The CEO and Hutchinson were now under arrest, having been moved from Legionnaire custody over to the Arkansas State Police. Meanwhile, in the Arkansas General Assembly, the Vanguard Party was declaring victory. The four Democrats and eight Republicans in the assembly were the but of the jokes of many Vanguard legislators, they commended their comrades, the legislators who had refused bribery, while three Republican legislators announced their resignation. Elections would be held immediately in their constituency's, where surly Vanguards would be elected, keeping the Republicans and Democrats in an absolute corner, and allowing the Vanguard Party to almost unanimously pass legislation as usual. A democratically elected quasi single-party state was the dream of the Vanguards, and for the past few years they've enjoyed such a status.

Camp Ozark
Everything was normal at Camp Okie, the motor pool was stocked with well maintained HUMVEEs and Two ton cargo trucks, Legionnaires drilled, and one small platoon was busy at work, packing gear into rucksacks , this platoon was made up of volunteers, mostly former military. In two days, they would fly to Atlanta, and then on to a flight to Erbil, Iraq. From there, they would collect their weapons and gear from customs and head to a designated front line position for them north of Mosul in the fight against ISIS. They planned to fight for three months, and then rotate off for one week in the rear before fighting for another three months against the Islamic State, hopefully Mosul would be liberated with in that time.

Most of the platoon was former military, and some of them former Special Forces, so few of them were new to combat, and those that were not had plenty of Legionary training. This war would be a piece of cake.

Outside the Statehouse
Indianapolis, Indiana

On the steps of the statehouse a multitude of media outlets had gathered for a press conference called by the Governor. Many suspected that he would be using this time to announce his intent to once again for the the Governorship, but he'd assembled the press for a different reason this morning.

“Are you sure this is what you want to do,” Lady Gabrielle Murray asked as she adjusted his tie.

“Yes Gabby, my purpose is to help people and make a positive impact on their lives. Now more than ever that's what this country needs,” Governor Kailen Murray said.

“Well then I'll be with you every step of the way, and come January you'll be saying the Oath at the Capitol,” She gave him a kiss and then held his hand, their twin boys walked on either side of them. They walked outside and immediately the cameras began flashing and all attention turned to them. Governor Murray walked to the podium that stood atop the steps, and his wife and children stepped to the side.

“Good Morning. For the past four years I've served the great people of Indiana as your Governor, and eight years before that I served as a City-County Councilman. If someone would've told me thirteen years ago that I'd be standing here today I would've told them they're crazy. Never in all of my wildest dreams had I imagined to one day be a politician, let alone the Governor of Indiana. In four years we've accomplished much: unemployment has been lowered from 7% to 4.8%; public schools have seen a 9% increase in funding, more than they have in the past decade; the number of people incarcerated for non-violent crimes has decreased 5%; and that is just a short list of the progress we've made. However, while Indiana has been moving forward sadly the United States has not.

Unemployment has risen 2.6% as big business continue to outsource jobs to foreign countries; our environment continues to decline as the government allows corporations to defile it without regulation; it seems as if we're once again living in the 50s and 60s as an African American ale cant even walk down the street without worrying whether he'll be killed by police or not, and not just police but members of his own community. Since 1986 spending on higher education has increased by 5.6% and spending on K12 education has increased by 69%, yet spending on prisons has increased 141%. There is no excuse on why we should be spending more money on prison than we should on educating our future lawyers, doctors, teachers, and other professionals. We are more worried about imprisoning someone for carrying a non-harmful substance like marijuana than we are about securing a quality education for our young people.

The American government has lost sight of one of its most tenets, for the people by the people. Instead we've changed that to for the money by the money, as Washington officials play politics instead of lead our nation. That is why I am sad to announce I will not be running for reelection this year' but I am extremely proud to announce that I will be running to become the next President of the United States of America! It is time we had someone in the White House that is for the people, and that is exactly what I intend to be. So come november be sure to vote Kailen Guillory for Change That Matters.”

@GovKiser: Gonzalez has shown himself to be nothing more than a criminal calling for attacks on innocent civilians for their political views and who they support. Disgusting.

Stoney Creek, Ontario

Constant cracks, in bursts of three, assailed Cal's ears as he drove his way up to the training facility, then strode up towards the range. He had agreed to meet his wife here after their respective rallies-she had beaten him there-probably slipped in by an old RCMP buddy to edge him out. He smiled. Always the competitor.

He turned the corner just in time to see pieces of hardened clay go spiraling to the ground. A figure pulled off a cap and glasses, and looked over his way. Aubrey grinned, tossing him a shotgun, which he snatched out of the air.

"Fifty-nine of sixty is the mark."

Cal raised an eyebrow. "Losing a step?"

She grinned mischievously back. "Giving you a chance."

Cal shook his head as he brought the weapon up to his shoulder. He ran his hand along it, gave it a little shake to nestle it in, took a deep breath.

"Pull."

Three discs whirled out, he tracked, fired, pumped, fired, and then once again. All three pigeons fluttered to the ground.

He nodded to himself, readjusted. He had always been an extremely good shot, and these little dates had only improved his aim-Aubrey had even suggested he try out for the national team himself, add to his medal collection. It was only half a joke-but he had still never once beaten her. Not even when she was pregnant did be win. Cal grinned internally at the mental image of her still firing away that fall, until the combined forces of her coach, her doctor, and him finally managed to get her to lay off.

Startled from his reverie by the whirr-click of the thrower,launching the pigeons well before he was ready, he only barely managed to hit the next salvo, and glared accusingly at his wife-to which she responded with a look of perfect innocence.

Grumbling, but chuckling at the same time as he fired on another set, and grabbed some additional cartridges, he glanced over.

"Where is the little angel now?"

Aubrey pointed off to a wooden gazebo a short ways distant. "Napping with Grandma. Crazy what that kid can do. All this noise, and she sleeps like a log."

He shrugged. "Good thing too. Any kid of yours had better not be scared of loud noises. Whether from that." He gestured at the gun, then at her mouth. "Or tha-Ow!"

A cartridge pinged off the side of his head, and he laughed as he covered his head from the barrage. He quickly ducked and sprinted off. "Coward!" She called back.

She grinned to herself as she picked up the rounds-then let loose an "Oh!" when a loose clump of frozen water hit her square in the ear. She spun on her assailant, seeing her husband tossing another snowball up and down, a wicked smile on his face.

"You're in my element now, little missy."

She affected an air of despair.

"Oh, no, Sir. Please, I'm just an innocent little girl!" She slipped up shyly. "Oh, mister, you wouldn't do that to a sweet thing like me?" Reed gave a conspiratorial smile, and leaned in for a kiss-and she grabbed him, hip-tossing him into the snow.

He sat up, sputtering, as she bent over in laughter-until a well-aimed leg sweep knocked her on her back. He pounced on her, and the two rolled through the Canadian white for a few minutes, shoving snow in each others' faces and hair, laughing all the while, until coming to a rest aside each other, breathing hard.

The two lay there on their backs, looking up into the cloudy sky, for a while, just breathing it in. Finally, Aubrey broke the silence.

"What is the endgame?"

Puzzled, Cal rolled over onto his side, propping himself up on his elbow. "Say again?"

"Endgame, Cal. What is this all working to? This whole campaign. How does it end?"

"Well, the Presidency, I hope."

She shook her head. "Not on the outside. Not some title or office. How does this really play out? Have you really thought about what that would mean, winning? Mean for us?"

Chagrined, Cal shook his head, and she continued.

"I know you didn't. You just, you see a problem, and you want to help, and you just go all-out for it. You don't think about it, think long-term, think about the consequences-you just help. And I love that about you Cal, I really do-you really care-but you are not alone anymore. We are not alone. Could we really raise a daughter in the White House? Is that fair to her? Is that fair to us?"

"What happens after? Another term? Just leave it behind? Can you really do that?"

Cal reached over, gently touched Aubrey's cheek.

"You know that I will leave this if you need me to. Just say the word, and its over. Live announcement, ending the campaign. You know I would do it."

She shook off his touch, pushed herself up to a sitting position. "I do. And I am not telling you to stop it... I am just telling you to think. I love you, Cal, and I love what you are doing. I would not be helping you if I did not. "

"I just...think about her, too. You have another girl in your life. Think about her when you do this."

Not knowing what to say, Cal scootched over and wrapped his arms around her-she rested her head on his chest. The sun was beginning to set, and they stayed there, softly entwined, musing about what came next.

This Week with George Stephanopoulos

George: Good Morning and welcome back to This Week with George Stephanopoulos. I have with me right he newest Democratic presidential nominee, Indiana Governor Kailen Murray live from Indianapolis. Governor Murray its a pleasure to have the opportunity to interview.

Kailen: The pleasure is all mine George, I watch your show every week as I get ready for church,

George: I'm gad to here that Governor; now I have to ask the question on everybody's mind, what made you join the race now? You've missed Iowa and Nevada, and you're at a disadvantage coming in this late.

Kailen: Well George, the American people have had to deal with the the people in Washington playing politics and looking for the next big donor for far too long. I believe that its time that someone step in and say enough is enough, its time to start focusing on the people and not the pay checks and thats what I'm going to do. I know I'm at a disadvantage but I believe I have what it takes to get the job done and win this election

George: So what do you think of your democratic opponents?

Kailen: Im going to be completely honest, Dick Kirk is a comedian and its his job to make jokes and I believe hes doing his job, and hes doing it very well, but he has no chance of winning the nomination. Senator Danders, quite honestly, I didn't even know who he was until he announced his candidacy and neither did much of the rest of the United States outside of Washington, or inside Washington for that matter. While he has some good policies, I doubt if he'll be able to gain enough momentum to get enough delegates. Senator Carrollton on the other hand is an underdog but she is a great candidate. We see eye to eye on many issues and we have much of the same voter base, and truthfully I feel in a few years shed make a great President...maybe after serving as a VP. Right now I just don't think its the right time for her and her being backed by the DNC worries me.

George: Was that a pitch for Senator Carrollton to join you as your Vice President?

Kailen: *Laughing* That wasn't a pitch for anything, but if the Senator ever wished to join forces and sign on to my ticket then that door is always open.

George: Well you heard it here first folks, but Governor lets change subjects for a second and discuss some of your policies. With everything going on in the world now tell me, where do you stand on terrorism and the military?

Kailen: There is a lot going on in the world as far as terrorism goes in many parts of the world, but I have always said that America cant be the World Police. No Im not saying we shouldnt fight terrorism, what Im saying is we should fight it when its a threat to and stay out of other countries business. ISIS is a major problem and they need to be eliminated and I believe we should leading the way for that, but I also believe that we shouldnt be trying to topple every dictator that rises to power just because we dont agree with them. So WHEN Im elected fighting ISIS will be a main priority but so will removing US troops from wars that have nothing to do with our nation.

George: WHEN he is elected, I know everyone heard that loud and clear. Sadly we're out of time but I thank you for coming on the show this morning, and I wish you the best during the primaries and in November, Governor.

Kailen: Thank you for having me, George.

"Look at the screen sir."

"My god. That'll the East Coast with so much force."

"Exactly. We predict it will hit even into eastern Ohio with some rain. But the coast will be hurt at a force we have not seen since Katrina."

"Like Katrina? When is it predicted to make landfall?"

"In three days. Or even two at the latest."

"How did this even form! Its February!"

"We aren't even sure. We think an odd blend of the currents have formed this but we had not even looked for such a thing."

"I need Garestaer here. We need to replenish FEMA funds now."

"Sir, if we do, those Senators who oppose the ISIS war bill may take this time to twist our hand. They might not back a FEMA bill if we don't get rid of the ISIS one."

"Do you think so?"

"I do. We need to be careful."

"Okay - Let's get going. I want a cabinet meeting in 10."

Baltimore, Maryland

Cal Reed quickly strode down the way, bags just barely visible under his eyes, still dressed in casual clothing and his baseball cap. He had purchases the flight as soon as he had heard, and called a reporter he knew on the drive, telling her to meet him at the airport. He caught her out of the corner of his eye, and walked over, setting down his bags and shaking her hand.

"Thanks for coming, Eunice."

"My pleasure, Cal. You made this sound urgent-what's wrong?"

"Just go ahead and start rolling. I will explain it on the air."

The short, glasses-wearing woman shrugged, and after another few minutes, they were all set up, and the camera started rolling.

"Mr. Reed, you called us here on such short notice for an important announcement -just what do you have to tell the people?"

"Thank you, Eunice. I am going to make use of this time to make the formal announcement that I am temporarily suspending my campaign for President to focus on preparation efforts for the tropical storm heading our way. Right now, lives are at stake, and this is too important to ignore in favor of campaigning. All of my campaign staff here in Baltimore will be working to make preparations for this predicted hurricane, and we will be working alongside American Dream. Right now, the most vulnerable are those without homes or shelter, or sufficient food, and we are going to be focused on helping them get ready to weather the storm, or evacuate if it does come to that. Any rallies and interviews are cancelled until further notice, and until the situation passes. I just want to urge the people of Baltimore to help get us ready for this, especially those without the resources to prepare themselves-and all across America-any help to American Dream or any other organization is sorely needed right now. Thank you."

"Mr. Reed, won't this hurt your electoral chances?"

"That does not matter right now, Eunice. We have a problem coming at us, and we need to fix it."

She nodded. "Best of luck."

He nodded back, and walked off, slipping into a yellow taxi that would take him to his campaign headquarters to start planning.

Richmond, Virginia

Governor Bell has mobilized the Virginia National Guard to begin preparatory efforts in contingency for Hurricane Bonnie turning south. The State Guard has also been assigned to preventative tasks.

by **Jovuistan** » Sat Aug 13, 2016 3:28 pm

"When will anything go right?" Mullins walked down to his home in Shelbyville, deciding to take some time off from the campaign trail. The past few days were enough to make him question almost everything he believed in. First, Egazarian decided to go down the negative route instead of focusing entirely on looking Presidential, and then he practically stated that he would blackmail the states into changing their system of taxation. All around, there was nothing that could make this day worse.

And then he turned on the Television, seeing a GIANT FUCKING HURRICANE headed right for the East Coast.

"Holy shit..." he muttered. He was definitely not going anywhere near the East Coast anytime soon.

Columbia, South Carolina

Governor Murray sat in the back of an SUV on his way to the Governors Mansion. His campaign manager pulled out her phone and turned on the Governors Facebook Live, "I just landed in Columbia and I'm currently on my way to the Governors Mansion. After hearing of the incoming hurricane, I am announcing that I will be temporarily suspending my campaign until further notice all events will be rescheduled for a later date. Though I will remain in South Carolina and assist in the evacuation and safety efforts. Governor Williams has granted me permission to bring in 2,000 Indiana National Guardsmen to also assist in these efforts. To everyone on the east coast please follow the safety protocols set out by your government, and know that I, and the entire state of Indiana, will be praying for you."

"This is devastating but its just in time for the primaries," his campaign manager, Alix Lasitter, said. Alix was a young woman, who the Governor had met while in Law school. She had managed his Gubernatorial campaign, and served as his Chief of Staff.

"Alix this is not a political move, its a national emergency. I am doing this because its the right thing to do, I cant turn my nack on those in need just because the situation is a little rough," Governor Murray said.

"I know sir, you've always had a good conscious; its one of the many things that are going to make you a great president," she said smiling. Unbeknownst to the governor she had kept the live feed going the whole time.

Representative Smith strongly condemns Senator Gonzalez's encouragement of violence towards Egazarian supporters

by **Terrelis** » Sat Aug 13, 2016 5:43 pm

by **Smirkeria** » Sat Aug 13, 2016 5:47 pm

"Re-elect James Smith" signs could be seen across Sleep Train Arena. But tonight, the people in the crowd were anything but tired. They were shouting, energetic, ready to vote for their representative again in November. Smith took the podium. He had some notes ready for the night, but he already knew what he was going to say.

"Good evening everyone!!!!"

The crowd screamed in enthusiasm.

"I'm happy all of you are here. As we prepare for the elections this fall, we need to show the politicians that America will not stand for the shenanigans of the Democrats and Republicans!!!"

"Just today, Senator Gonzalez, from this very state, said, and I quote, " If you see an Egazarian supporter, I want you to knock him the hell out you know, especially if they put their hands on you." Is this how we decide our elections, fellow Californians? Threaten to use intimidation and violence to suppress opponents and obstruct one of our most revered rights, the right to choose our President without fear of retribution for our choice? No!!! We cannot tolerate this!!! We must vote no on Gonzalez when he comes to California and vote him out when he runs for reelection."

"And now to our President. In his last year of office, he thinks it fit to send our men and women in uniform to the Middle East again, to lose thousands of lives again, in a war that is already being won. This is the state of our politicians in Washington now, my fellow Californians. Warmongers who do not care about the people at all. I tried my best to convince them to reconsider this rash move, but they now speak to donors, not the people.

The President and the Democratic Party have failed us. Speaker Garester and the Republican Party have shifted appalling far to the right. This is not the America our forefathers wanted. This November 8th, I want you all ready to vote out the corruption on Capitol Hill. Out with the old, in with the new.

And now to my two opponents in this race. Both are a very caricature of a political establishment that has failed America many, many, times. Both are funded by large corporations who want to maintain a status quo. We must say no to them, get rid of super PACs, get big money out of American politics, and return power back to where it belongs: the people. Thank you."

Garestaer was finally resting at home, alone in his apartment, when he heard the approaching storm. "Oh, bloody Hail Mary, please, shut up about it. It's a bloody storm. They're normal. JUST SHUT UP AND GIVE ME THE REAL FUCKING NEWS!" He threw a stress ball at the TV, switching to the Travel Channel. "Ah, Mysteries at the Museum. I love this show. Can't get enough of it." He finally smiled. "History at its most bizarre. I love it. One day they're going to have an item that belonged to me and talk about my fight against Leftist oppression." He went back to stirring Ramen noodle on the stove and flipping over a slightly burnt grilled cheese. "This is probably why no one wants to marry me. I don't fucking eat anything. This so-called storm is just a scare set up by the 'global warming' Communists. Haven't they figured out that we're fucking freezing? Fuck their theories. I'll gladly stick up my middle finger in their work. It's all fake. Altered data, to force us to suffer at the hands of solar and wind. I love my oil, and I'm not giving it up."

Pouring his "dinner" into a bowl and setting the burnt sandwich on a paper plate, Garestaer sat in front of the TV. "Oh, I've waited so long to just sit. I don't take sitting for granted. I love sitting. Standing hurts after a while." He grabbed the remote and began flipping through the channels again. "Don't care about dresses . . . Ooh, food! . . . More 'news' . . . They didn't let me on Jeopardy for some reason . . . I HATE THE WEATHER! . . . Kittens!" Garestaer stopped at the kitten show. "So many kittens . . . aww, I want one! Please, please, please, tell me they're up for adoption somewhere! I'll take them!"

Robert Eberhardt 90% of all K-12 in America attend public schools, 51% of those students are from low income families. That means that everytime we divert money from public schools to unregulated private schools through vouchers then 90% of our young people are put at an even greater disadvantage than what they were. The more money we spend on public schooling the less vouchers we'll need. #Murray2016 #MovingForward #ChangeThatMatters

The gruff Senator sat behind his desk with his feet kicked up. The desk was an heirloom from a bygone era of peace within the Federal government. A time where a congressmen could go out for a coffee with his republican counterpart without getting bogged down by his own partisan friends questions of loyalty. The grizzled senator had seen it all in his time in politics; quite frankly, he had seen pretty much everything the world had to offer have serving in his capacity as a Navy Seal. Tristan Strong had made a name for himself based upon his every-man attitude and his ability to connect with voters; he scored really hide in the 'would I have a beer with him' scale. However, Senator Strong had never pushed himself to run for the top office in the land, mainly because he thought that was a young man's game.

The Senator, however, would like to call himself a kingmaker in Washington politics. He could rally the democratic fundraisers behind a candidate and give him all the contacts one would need to win the nomination for the Presidency. Tristan would then move on to the general election, campaigning with the candidate, and giving him the appeal that the Senator always had with the voters. Or at least he would try to. The veteran politician knew that it would require great skill to defeat the Republicans this year, and he had yet pushed his considerable clout behind anyone. The comedian seemed to be leading the pack, which surprised Tristan, but didn't think that the candidacy would last. Unless, Mr. Kirk could convince the Senator otherwise.

The rest of the pack almost looked the same on paper. Sure, some had different policy quirks, but no one really caught his eye. Senator Strong thought about throwing his name in the hat, but decided that he enjoyed his position in the senate too much. And, like he has always thought, it is a young mans game. Those of his age that were running hadn't figured it out yet, but he was content exactly where he Washington. So, the Senator would get his aide to send an email to all the democratic campaigns, simply asking them why the Senate Minority leader should endorse them.

J. Edgar Hoover Building
935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington D.C.

"We found something Director."

"I know. Hernan told me."

"Here you go."

The Director picked up the file and looked through it. Reports of all the malware they had found on the computer of the Speaker... The FBI had been monitoring it since the incident with the Turkish President but had found some suspicious programs. Upon closer investigations and aid from the NSA, they realized someone was monitoring the Speaker. They were tracking it back to its source which had proven difficult but they knew one thing: They were looking at everything he was doing and that it was a domestic threat. Within a few more days, they could have it.

American Dream Headquarters, Baltimore, Maryland

The long, squat, concrete building-formerly a parking garage, now turned into a rather dreary-but inexpensive, headquarters for the nationwide charity and philanthropic group, was bustling with activity. The majority of Reed's nearby campaign staff and new volunteers, added onto American Dream's own legions, were primarily focused on supplying themselves-the supermarkets were not yet at full-panic stage, but goods were flying off the shelves, and his workers were attempting to get as many as possible-the real focus, though, was making connections with the middlemen supplying the stores directly, trying to get them to send their goods American Dream's way.

In a move that would likely ignite controversy later, Reed had poured nearly two million dollars of his campaign funds, notwithstanding his personal contributions, into purchasing food and other supplies. Legally, this was being marked as a campaign expense-the food was for "campaign workers"-as they started to attempt to assemble those in their aid network-homeless, urban poor, orphans-they would be given little tags, and formally given internships in the campaign-hopefully that would allow the spending to slip past campaign finance laws.

Reed himself was dashing from room to room tirelessly in the headquarters, organizing efforts, and lending words of encouragement and slaps on the back. At present, he was grumbling on the landline, has he attempted to cajole his way into being given access to Camden Yards for emergency purposes.

"Senator Clark, Senator Strong, please follow me."

The Chief of Staff, Oppen, led the men to the Oval Office. The President had called them for passing the FEMA replenishing bill would be easy in the House but not in the Senate. The opposition to the Declare War on ISIS refused to support the FEMA bill unless the ISIS one was retracted. Something the President was not prepared to do.

"Right this way."

The men entered as President Winston stood up.

"Thank you Oppen. You can go."

He shook their hands smiling.

Kailen Murray
Today at 10:12PM

Lisa Baldwin Well Lisa I'd institute my Urban Housing Initiate like I did in Indiana, this would allow the government to hire local contractors to repurpose abandoned or underused building into low income housing for veterans, the elderly, and single parent families; free for the first month. These residences would also offer free job training resources so that residents could gain a steady income. This would not only reduce unemployment, but reduce homelessness as well. #Murray2016 #MovingForward #ChangeThatMatters

Kailen Murray Governor Murray as a black man I hardly feel safe leaving my house for fear of being racially profiled and unjustly killed. How would you combat all of the recent injustices towards blacks?

Kailen Murray
Today at 10:19PM

James King Mr. King I feel the same way, though I am a powerful official I too am constattly subjected to racism. However my answer to you is accountability, we must begin to hold our law enforcement and government officials accountable for their institutional racism. Murdering someone in cold blood should not be given a slap on the wrist just because you have a badge. I applaud every law enforcement officer who risk their lives daily to protect communities, but sadly their are some who only want to abuse their authority. However, if we are going to hold them accountable we must also hold ourselves accountable as well. We can no longer live up to the "thug" stereotype that are used against us. We must educate our young black men and women to stay in school and use their knowledge as their weapon instead of guns and violence. We must stand together with another instead of constantly tearing each other down. If we want them to stop oppressing us then change must start at home. #Murray2016 #MovingForward #ChangeThatMatters #BlackLivesMatter

The Senator had found himself in several different administrations oval offices. The Presidents who occupied them could be a friend or an enemy, and it usually just depended on what letter was beside their name.
