The Land Of The Free: An American Political Roleplay (IC)

May 3rd, 2019

Governor Richardson had left the PragerU Summit fairly proud of himself for a full day making connections but that quickly melted away when he got into his car. Richardson had been laser focused on the Texas Special election in the past 2 days, painstakingly researching all the candidates. But his ultimate decision would be somewhat in the hands of others. As such he made an unlikely phonecall as the car took him to where he would be sleep that night.

"Hello this is Governor Richardson, I'm calling to speak with the Governor...."

The people who operated Governor Prendergast's switchboards were surprised by the call, clicking it through nonetheless, and after someone told Jonah who was ringing as he was making his way down to his next state (Louisiana), he picked up the call. "Governor Richardson, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I was wondering what your thoughts were regarding the Texas special election? I am of the opinion that right now if the party doesn't get behind one or two candidates that the democrats can overcome in a Jungle primary. I think that it would send a strong message to the party and the country if you and I got behind the same candidate."

I am of the opinion that right now if the party doesn't get behind one or two candidates that the democrats can overcome in a Jungle primary. I think that it would send a strong message to the party and the country if you and I got behind the same candidate."

"That's a fair position. Considering what a catastrophe Goldwater was, I think we'd be wary of taking Texas for granted after 2018." Frowning, Jonah settled into a seat, holding the phone to his ear. "I like Cramp's single issue eminence, but we can also offer him a federal judgeship. The mere idea excited him. Frankly, I'm really taken with Brookshire. She's fierce, incisive, and knows how to push a deal. She'd be a good Senator."

Mike was at his Charleston office, preparing for another major campaign event for the next day. He was hitting the low country hard, after his surrogate John Atang kicked off the campaign’s regional effort.

Seeing an email from Suraj Shah, he quickly dialed the included phone number on his personal iPhone.

“Hello Suraj!” He said when there was an answer.

"I like her too... I'm a sucker for someone committed to fiscal conservatism... I think Cramp would be most difficult to elect in the runoff, the Congressman... De Lange... he's not impressive honestly... I think we could offer him a minor cabinet post in our respective administrations in order to drop out and endorse De Lange. What about Allen?"

"He's also a bit one issue, and I just don't get the right... feel from him. Gut instinct tells me he's the wrong choice. I know that sounds nebulous." He shook his head, realizing he probably sounded a bit foolish. "De Lange could probably be filed away somewhere like the Small Business Administration."

Nathaniel Richardson TV Ad
All Iowa Markets
May 1st-7th, 2019

(A series of farmers dramatically narrate the ad over images of farmers)



And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, "I need a caretaker." So God made a farmer.



God said, "I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board." So God made a farmer.



God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop in mid-field and race to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor's place. So God made a farmer.



God said, "I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave bails, yet gentle enough to tame lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink-combed pullets, who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the broken leg of a meadow lark. It had to be somebody who'd plow deep and straight and not cut corners. Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk and replenish the self-feeder and finish a hard week's work with a five-mile drive to church.



"Somebody who'd bale a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing, who would laugh and then sigh, and then reply, with smiling eyes, when his son says he wants to spend his life 'doing what dad does.'" So God made a farmer.



Richardson: We can make one of the toughest jobs in America a bit easier.



Richardson: Right now our farm policy in Washington works for big corporate farms and not the small family farms. Its time that we put the money and the power back in the hands of the people that need it most like I did as Governor of North Carolina. From taking on the Clean Water Rule and the Endangered Species Act, to ending the FDAs one size fits all approach, and opening up new markets overseas, together we will get it done. If you agree please visit Richardson2020.com and voice your support. I’m Nathaniel Richardson and I approve of this message.

“Hello Suraj!” He said when there was an answer.

"Mike! Governor Veléz!" Shah wasn't too sure how to address the man after so many years, "nice to hear from you, thanks for calling up. I hope I haven't caught you at a really busy time...hope the campaign is going smoothly."

“It’s coming, it’s coming,” he said, chuckling. “I see that your running for Senate in Texas. I’ve also heard through the grapevine that you’ve made a couple of great speeches. Listen, if your announcement video is any indication, I know you’re in for a successful campaign.”

Bernard J. Porter Speech at Prager University Summit, Santa Monica, California

"Good morning, everyone." He nodded, seeing the crowd assembling for his speech.

"I'm sure you've all heard of the most recent polls - the ones that have proven something great - something amazing. The mainstream media all cried about it, with voices coming from both establishment conservatism and socialist Democrats.

And you know what this poll says? They were wrong. Dead wrong."

Porter took a pause, letting it sink in for effect.

"Let me assure you - my campaign is not dead. We have a shot in the arm, and we are ready to run with it. We are not dead, far from it. We will come back, and we will hold.

The stakes in this campaign are the highest of any: today, we stand against a socialist Democratic Party, one that wants to have child murder on demand and show our children pornography in school. We need the best candidate to beat whichever socialist, whichever communist comes against us and our mission to restore the moral fibre of this nation: and I am the candidate that can do that."

The room murmured in confusion, but Porter stuck his hands out in a motion to silence that.

"I know it sounds like blasphemy, as if I'm joking. But let me assure you that I am not joking. Listen, look - the Cato Institute-funded Democracy Fund and Voter Study Group did a very good study on the issue - very good one. It divided up people into four quadrants, based on their economic and social views.

Now, a little less than half of the folks in the study were liberals on both social issues and economic issues - that is to be expected. But where I want to look are the people like me - economically left-wing, socially conservative. 29% of voters surveyed were in this group, as opposed to 23% in the economically right-wing, social conservative column. 10% of the electorate were non-Trump voters who were in my column. This is a HUGE part of the electorate - HUGE that we can grab.

I believe that, with your backing and your vote in these primaries, I can make HUGE wins across the nation. HUGE! My platform will restore the morals of this nation, and end the practices of gay marriage and child murder across the country! And I will protect this nation, and I will take it back from the liberal elites over at CNN and at Hollywood. I am the only candidate that can win the culture war, I am the only candidate that can win a real war and I am the only candidate that can protect this nation from terrorism.

I will restore order to the anarchistic areas of this country - whether they be sanctuary cities or ghettos littered with gang violence, and I will end the assault of Mexican drug cartels from the south. There are very fine, very decent people coming across that border: but there are also drug smugglers, human traffickers and other horrible folk. I will build the wall - and I will make it a great wall. I will make it amazing and I will make it truly great.

This election will be one that decides the moral character of our nation. Vote Porter to stop terrorism, to build the wall and to take our country back! Thank you!"

The crowd clapped, whether out of genuine applause or out of politeness. Porter then stepped down from the stage, when the applause ended, and began to speak to people. He carried his same interpersonal charisma with him, giving them a sort of youthful charm of a man who had been through hell and came out - or will come out - the other side. He talked to the more alt-right characters in the crowd, but kept himself open and calm for those who didn't like him.

He wanted to com off genuine in his politics, someone who really did just come onto the political stage to improve this country, rather than just grabbing power. He talked at length about policies, always being calm and sedated. He walked out into the hall, speaking to as many people as he could, hoping to influence them. This was where the real power was, where the people who could influence the Wolfian side of the party were. He spoke to as many people as possible, hoping to gain some sort of connection with them.

He spent the entire day talking and talking, never tiring of it. He spoke of his service to almost everyone, hoping to let his military background rub off. He was very personal in his talking, talking about his part of the family farm in Virginia, which he still lived on as his land, a place to relax, hunt, do whatever. His brothers and sisters of course worked at various jobs, some of them educated, some of them less so. Nonetheless, he had continuously melded the personal with the political, particularly dwelling on his time in Mogadishu where he held off the Somali charge for several days, only stopping when they had run out of bullets.

He finished the day rather satisfied, ready to move on to the next event, wherever it would be...

Richardson's newest advertisement ignores the fact that he hasn't done anything for the farms in North Carolina. Also if I'm not mistaken he used stock footage.

As the son of farmers, I believe that Richardson's attempts to pander to farmers are nothing but shameless opportunism, using the situation that he and HIS CORPORATE CRONIES created. He's right - the current policy works for big farms rather than small ones. But the truth is, he gets his money from Big Agriculture. He's corrupt, selfish and doesn't actually care about farmers or their wellbeing.

God rewards conviction. Conviction is upholding your faith and morals without compromise. The proposed amendment to Human Life Protection Act is a compromise, and morals cannot be comprised. I pray for the committee to have conviction and vote to keep the bill in its present form. God bless!

Burgun prepared to embark on his Deep South tour. His campaign has gained a lot of traction as of late thanks to Bernie Porter's recent controversial comments. However, he is still losing the endorsement game to his competitors. It is time to begin to change that system. Burgun was about to try to change that. He was going to meet the good Governor Lee fo Alabama.

Burgun sporting a navy blue suit was not ready for the Alabama sunshine, by the time he reached the Governor's mansion he was visibly red and sweating.

Sexual assault is a horrible horrible crime, but punishing innocent children, the 2nd biggest victims of sexual assault, with death for the sins of a rapist is an abhorrent act as well. I agree with Gov. Lee that everyone regardless of their circumstance of conception is an American worthy of life, liberty, and happiness.

GASPAC Ad Running in Iowa on television and directed at low-income and unemployed people on social media platforms

Meet Jim. Jim is an ordinary guy from an ordinary Iowa family. Like an ordinary decent American he was in a job to support his family, living the traditional American dream. Specifically, Jim worked in the farming industry, as is common in Iowa. A decent administration would protect decent, ordinary Americans like Jim from cheap foreign imports. But that was not the case.

In 2011, under the Baharia administration, Jim lost his job. For not turning up? No. For not doing his job properly? No. For any reasonable reason at all? No. The low tariffs and high corporate taxes placed in by Baharia and supported by 'mainstream' Republicans like Nate Richardson meant that honest, hardworking Americans like Jim had their jobs sold off to Chinese billionares. Worse still, there are thousands of decent Americans like Jim who unjustly suffer the same fate. But in 2016, America said 'No.'

In 2016, people from communities like Jim's turned out in their masses to say 'no' to this globalist injustice and voted to elect a President that would end it. Arnold Wolf is that President. He delivered on his promises to reverse the damages caused by Burke and Baharia with their globalist policies and end situations like Jim's from ever occuring again. Unemployment fell from nearly 5% under Baharia to below 3.7% in just 2 years under Wolf. That's a cut to unemployment of nearly a third. For once, things began to be looking good for communities like Jim's. But now, the progress Wolf made is all at risk.

Democrats and Republicans in name only like Nate Richardson thrive off the stifling and unemployment of communities like Jim's, which is why they have time and time again supported measures to pursue this globalist injustice, because of the interests of their filthy rich foreign donors. But don't despair; there is still an alternative at this election. And that alternative is Governor J Prendergast.

Prendergast is not infested by filthy rich globalist donors like Richardson, he supports communities like Jim's and is an honest, hardworking American who is determined to fight for the forgotten. If you want a true President who upholds these values and will fight for you rather than foreign donors and globalists, vote for Prendergast as Republican nominee for President on the 2nd February in the Iowa caucus.

Dear Governor,

I want to start by thanking you for your bravery in standing up for the God-given right to life for the unborn. I'm sure you've faced a lot of attacks from Democrats for your stance, and I want you to know that I will back you fully. Obviously the race for President has been ramping up considerably in recent weeks. I wish to meet with you soon regarding the ongoing campaign and your potential role in it. Please let me know when you are available to meet at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

Arnold Wolf Jr.

The issues facing Texans are all across the spectrum, ranging from poverty and homelessness, to violent crime, to simply giving them their hard-earned money back and realigning things to our values. Just like America, folks need someone to FIGHT for them on all fronts! That what I mean when I say I want to #FightForAmerica

A single-issue candidate is all good for bringing important policies to the forefront, but it isn't what will help the Texan people. Texas and the United States need a Senator resolute on all issues, on all fronts, on ALL our VALUES. And that's who I am. #Brookshire2020

Richardson arrived for his meet with the Governor of Wyoming. Dickney was the son of probably the most hated Vice President in modern history however he had somehow managed to get elected in Wyoming. His support might be worth a visit to win plains states and get him some old school support. He was 5 minutes early and patiently waited for the Governor.

Texans want a simple and solid platform, not a purity test! When you have 4 or more Republicans running in the race against fewer Democrats, the people will have a choice. Will we choose candidates who split the electorate with wedge issues? We have another choice, instead, we can build a broad coalition around three strong, bold Texas values: Defending the Constitution, Fixing Our Taxes, and Balancing the Budget! #MarkAllen4Senate #TheConstitutionalChoice
