Washington 2017: The U.S. Political RP: IC [CLOSED]

[The Portland Territory]

Weber Institute, Chicago, Illinois


If Weber was determined to run for office against a GOP incumbent, in his mind, he would need to get his name out before actually running. Contemplating an idea for many weeks, and discussing such a project with the Institute Treasurer, it was time for him to send his invitation to Senator de Peña, de facto leader of the GOP

To: Senator María Antonieta Arroyo Villanueva de Peña
From: Mr. Bernard Weber
Subject: An Invitation
=============================================================================
Dear Senator de Peña,

My name is Bernard Weber and I am the CEO and founder of the Weber Institute for Research and Development. Founded in 2006, the Weber Institute for Research and Development is a non-profit 501(c)(3) think tank dedicated to studies regarding the market, social climate, finances, and policies enforced by the government amongst other political topics. You may know me from speaking at the 2015 CPAC convention, however the purpose of this email is not a pamphlet regarding myself.

Rather, days ago I changed my political affiliation from the Libertarians, to your Republican Party. In the coming weeks, with heightening economic recession and a call for further regulation on businesses, my foundation has discussed and determined that to hold a sort of "free market forum" of our own is necessary to inform the populace about how further regulation will only hurt our economy and job security further. It is to be held sometime in the middle of July in Chicago. However, while it shall not be a partisan event per se, I would personally like to invite any and all Republican politicians who would like to speak at the convention. Those who serve in office must assure the populace that they are there to serve the people, and promoting the ideals of a free market for the benefit of all is a great way to reinforce such a notion. And given that Center for National Interests, an organization dedicated to the cause of protectionism and against free trade, is holding a meeting with prominent politicians as we speak, it is imperative that we too hold a panel, publicly and privately, to discuss why free trade is good, and what we should to to ensure that it is protected.

If you are interested, feel free to contact me for further planning. I hope that such an event will be beneficial for the nation and those who guide us in these troubled times.

With best regards,
Bernard Weber, CEO and founder of the Weber Institute for Research and Development

Cal stayed silent for a long time after that. Light slowly began to creep across the plains, over the mountains towering to the west, and finally he pushed himself to his feet. Aubrey looked up at him, and he down at her.

"Call the Governor, please."

She acquiesced.

The Governor was back in his motel room, standing over a freshly brewed pot of coffee, his coughing fit having subsided for the moment. His cell phone buzzed on the bathroom counter, he walked over and answered it.

“Doc Stephens speaking.”

"Governors Stephens, glad I could catch you." The words were informal, but the President's voice still had the warmth of ice chips and the emotion of the same.

"I would like to thank you for your efforts in apprehending Mrs. Noble. We will be taking her into federal custody."

"I would like to thank you for your efforts in apprehending Mrs. Noble. We will be taking her into federal custody."

“I’m glad to hear that Mr. President, but what’s the reason for her going into federal custody? A murder charge is a state thing. Gonna try to get her on terrorism or something?” asks Stephens, with a general bit of curiosity.

[Prolieum]

"Murdering a relative of the President of the United States is a federal crime." Cal replied, voice no warmer. "We should have more than enough evidence to convict on that charge."

"Murdering a relative of the President of the United States is a federal crime." Cal replied, voice no warmer. "We should have more than enough evidence to convict on that charge."

“You’re right about that, I forgot that immediate family was protected like that,” replied Stephens. “Very well then, I’d prefer they let her rot in federal prison anyway.” he continued, clearly disgusted with Noble.

"Thank you for your time, Governor. Is there anything further?" Cal questioned.

"Thank you for your time, Governor. Is there anything further?" Cal questioned.

“That’s all for you?” asks Stephens.

"It is. Goodbye, Governor." Cal ended the call without further comment.

[Velahor]

Hearing the beep of the call ending, Stephens stood completely still for a few seconds before muttering under his breath, “Why the hell would he need to call me for that? It’s not like I was gonna tell him no...”

Doc sat back down on the edge of the motel bed, and watched the news, which included clips from the previous days press conference. Today was going to be a difficult one, he hated to bear bad news, and telling everyone who was killed was going to be a tough thing to have to do.

Having been arrested, Noble was left in detainment. The events beforehand were more of a flash, the rally was never planned to turn violent. Little was she aware that the man on stage, who was the President’s father, had a weapon too. He must have mental illness, she thought. It’s too late now, anyway. She had heard from remarks made by Police around the station about the reaction to the shooting. Someone called for the death penalty for Dianna Noble. They are slandering me, she thought. To get the attention of the prison guard, she waved her arms.

“Guard! I need my phone immediately. It’s my right to respond to this stuff. Slander is a crime too, don’t you know?”

Fowler: "I disagree, we should avoid rhetoric in the bill just stick with the measures we are taking. We don't want to alienate too many people."

”Yes, I can agree with that,” Lane chimed in.

"Why does everyone always think they get a phone call?" The cop wondered out loud. "D*mn NCSI shows."

Blyth shrugs: "Works either way for me. So what do we start it with?" she eyed Fowler and Lane questioningly.

Fowler: Start with measures regarding the hellfire trigger since it most directly affects Noble

[The Free Territory of Makhnovia]

"So straight onto legislation: "Section I calls for nation-wide ban on importation, possession, sale, transfer, or ownership of firearms equipped with hellfire trigger as well as modification of firearms in a way that would allow semi-automatic firearm to fire at a rate approaching that of a fully automatic firearm."" Blyth wrote things down on a whiteboard that was in the meeting room.

"Need some kinda introduction" Stacey pointed out

"Our colleagues are apparently considering that rhetoric, so..."

"Our colleagues are apparently considering that rhetoric, so..."

Fowler: 'the problem unregulated guns pose for safety of citizens ' that is rhetoric that will alienate people. Introductions are fine, just not that one.

[The Free Territory of Makhnovia]

"Well Senator, I was going with your proposal to start straight with measures regarding hellfire triggers and to stick with measures proposed. You offered no alternative introduction and you basically phrased your follow-up proposal in a manner that was quite...Anti-introductorial."

"Fact-finding mission?" Prejean asked, inquisitively, as he remained in his reclined-posture. "I'm not sure I follow."

Fowler rolls his eyes "Your attitude is not conductive to writing this document. I dont give a shit if we have an introduction or not, but I do care that it doesn't piss off the hard right needlessly"
