Washington 2017: The U.S. Political RP IC-Volume II (OPEN)

[Puertollano]

Joh Stansky @GiveJohaGo! The RLSA is a mess, the Governor wants to institute regressive taxes, such as a fuel tax on New Jersey. Yet, the Governor dodged questions about Medicare for All. I had to be dragged out of the press conference. This will not be the end of my fight.

[Puertollano]

Joh Stansky @GiveJohaGo! My advice to lawmakers in Trenton: keep up the fight. We will not compromise until we know 100% of people in New Jersey can get free and quality healthcare.

@ANewFlame If you really don't want to focus on labels, you should walk that talk. Be in Congress as an independent, prove you mean what you said.

"Good man," Amaras encouraged, shoveling several more spoonfuls of creamy macaroni into his waiting mouth.

Poor Joh Stansky has been reduced to sneaking into press conferences to try to get attention. Socialism and socialists fail every time!

"Activist."

She took interest in the exhibit, looking it over before glancing at the description.

"I decided that trying to convince people what to do, or what they should do, wasn't enough. If you could actually be the person doing it, while harder, it would be easier. How did you get involved?"

[The Orion Islands]

Governor Di Pietro looks around the room at the healthcare meeting and wonders if anyone is still listening.
"Hello? Anyone home? We agreed so far on moderate tax hikes and an adjustment to COLAS."

“The people of New York are already taxed enough, any tax increase is to be limited to no more than 3 percent on any tax bracket.”

'Should a point-3 percent increase work and not get destroyed in the Senate?"

"I just dropped in," Appleby answered.

"Athlete, until I started sucking and they didn't want me anymore. So I did politics."

The POMA nominating Republican Governor of your state endorses the Democrat who is the cousin of the sponsor of Minuteman in the race while coal fetishist Troy Wilson thinks he is interchangeable with the Republican. What a great party to stand for.

Wilson Twitter @KeepWyomingGreat
"If defending Wyoming families from economic destruction is coal fetishism, then I practice it every day. Another coastal Progressive who thinks we're still fighting the Indian Wars and living in sod houses and hells-on-wheels."
"The Progressive party seeks to enrich California and New York at the expense of states like Wyoming, Montana, Texas, and Alaska. Is this any surprise from the party controlled by the heir to Walmart (the company that sold out American jobs to China to enrich itself)?"

"Which organization contacted you?"

She offered genuine interest when asking her question.

"I think we should talk, now...but also more in the future. Just to get to know each other better."

"Well, that's the cycle. Or a variation of it. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Story of my life."

She focused on the description, reading it thoroughly.

"That's dramatic," Appleby commented, internally somewhat amused by the ostentatious verbiage. His gaze wandered over more distant objects.

"Well, dramatic, perhaps. Then again, all of the world is a stage and all of us are merely players. Or something like that."

She finished reading, moving away from Appleby towards another exhibit though didn't bother to even notice what it was.

"A fairly small grassroots organisation by the name of OurAmerica posted an open call of sorts urging people to contact them regarding the midterms saying that they wanted to run progressive candidates regardless of their affiliation with either the Democratic or the Progressive Party." John replied. "This might very well prove to be a non partisian stance that will force the organization to choose a side sooner or later, but the intention is noble, considering that this effort could potentially mend the rift on the left, at least to a degree, and strengthen us. Regardless, having good experiences with them in the past I decided to contact the organisation."

Malinowski welcomed Eleanor's inquisitivness. Knowing one another better was a great way to work on a better relationship for the future.

"I think that's a good idea. I'm guessing you have some questions about me?" John asked.

"Also dramatic," Appleby dryly noted, as he followed alongside the Senator, glancing over the DC-3 that dominated the next room.

"If we're players on a stage, that implies that we have lines and scripts to follow," Appleby observed, leaving the statement open.

"Hmm."

She raised an eyebrow at his question, looking for the plane and the propellers especially."

"Well, we could be improvising. Perhaps the greatest are those who went off script. Or the worst."

"Hmm, seems like a very dangerous line to be walking. Already people are being forced to choose sides and while I wish to mend the right, one side is gonna have to give a little more. And neither one wants to, at least not in the current moment."

She rubbed her leg, pain filling it.

"But....not to disregard the noble goal it is striving for. How do you, yourself, identify as? Democrat I'm assuming?"

"Off script would still mean that we have them," Appleby answered. "Life isn't that neat, or set."

The Speaker had been tracing the woodwork of the table, rather zoned out of the meeting. But with no other leader speaking, she decided to comment.

"The increase would be increasing the percentage points of the current rates. Top earners exclusively."

"The original bill didn't have those taxes. That was a better bill, but because the Democrats wanted changes I made compromises," Hotchkiss answered.

"These taxes are already a compromise. There isn't any time to compromise more."

“The people of New York are already taxed enough, any tax increase is to be limited to no more than 3 percent on any tax bracket.”

"Three percent is barely anything, seven percent"

"Well, then, maybe we are following a script. Created by a higher power. With purpose, as noble or as fictitious as a purpose can be."
