The Land of the Free: American Political Roleplay (IC II)

[United Hemand Insia]

"Obviously the supposedly main goal while in office is to make your state a generally better place to live. So that's a big goal I'm working on, especially after being just re-elected. I'd like to build on Washington's weak economy industries. Use my political experience to create better legislature. Blah blah blah, the usual stuff Representatives and Senators want to accomplish. I do have an uncommon goal, though. I'd like to make common ground with the opposing parties. The chances of it happening are near to impossible, of course."

"...alrighty then... lets start there. Which industries did you have in mind for boosting specifically?"

"Personally, lowering the market for Real Estate is a big opportunity to bring more people into Washington. Working on our coal energy and wind energy would be great for our economy according to the newest set of stats. Our Information industry could use some support if I'm being honest. Agriculture, Seafood, and Timber don't need any help, of course. That's just the beginning of my plans. I'd like to reconstruct our exporting and importing infrastructure."

"Well coal is a non starter... But we could work on a bill for wind energy, general clean energy, or transportation... though i'm sure the Speaker would want to be involved in any major infrastructure bill."

"Then let's start working on a draft and they can be our editors. Unless you have an objection?"

"A draft on which option?"

"Then let's start working on a draft and they can be our editors. Unless you have an objection?"

"A draft on which option?"

"Let's start with cleaner energy. That's avery hot topic right now, so it makes most sense. Transportation is least of my worries as we recently renewed the Washington State Transportation Fund. Wind energy could be after clean energy."

"Wind energy is part of clean energy?"

"Oh, yeah. Haven't had my coffee yet so my brain is clogging. Anyways, I was meaning that we could make a bill that supports wind energy after we made a clean energy bill, but putting the two together would be more efficient."

"Oh, yeah. Haven't had my coffee yet so my brain is clogging. Anyways, I was meaning that we could make a bill that supports wind energy after we made a clean energy bill, but putting the two together would be more efficient."

"Do you want to focus more on R&D and making clean energy more affordable and efficient? Or just giving states money to build more clean energy plants and facilities?"

"Do you want to focus more on R&D and making clean energy more affordable and efficient? Or just giving states money to build more clean energy plants and facilities?"

"We should get more input before we decide, in my opinion."

"Did you have someone in mind?"

"We should get more input before we decide, in my opinion."

"Did you have someone in mind?"

"Personally, I think we need to get all the information we can get, but that's just me. What do you think?"

[Dentali]

"Did you have someone in mind?"

"Personally, I think we need to get all the information we can get, but that's just me. What do you think?"

"I have plenty of information, I just need a general framework to go to people with to ask for input and support. If I go to someone and say 'hey lets work on clean energy' they will ask me to be more specific."

"Right, well I'll work on the general picture then I'll get back to you when it's done."

I will not accept the nomination of far-left candidates within the Democratic Party. We have stood for progressive change for people, but not for the radical extremes some in the party seek to drive us towards. If such a result occurs, all options are on the table because I will stand with Alaska, not ideologues.

A private Twitter message was sent from @RepresentativeVolker to @RoughriderGovernor.

Governor, I think you may have misspoke in your recent tweet as it's Good Friday rather than Christmas which marks the death of our Lord and Saviour.

Normally, I would like and retweet this as an attack against Mr. Long, but I must say, I never thought I would receive a care package from him which included tickets, some Gin I believe, cd's and fuel to my bonfire, all things I love!

Hypolite laughed for a moment before tweeting this out, "He is a bit of a jackass."

"That's true, I'm glad we agree on that. As you can see, right now I'm trying to deal with everything my predecessor left me. I've spoken with Minority Leader Volker yesterday about possible legislative priorities, I want the first few months to be productive. I understand that there are bills that enjoy bipartisan approval, if not outright support, and I think we should target them to send a message that the federal government is doing well despite the recent changes."

"We can do that, and there's a number of areas I'd like to move forward on, especially with a few pieces of priority legislation that matter a great deal to my caucus and I." She frowned a little, holding her hand up a moment. "But before we get onto legislation, we really should discuss the elephant in the room. Or rather, the elephant not in the room."

"I'm assuming you're referring to my Vice President? Or rather lack there of?" Tawney replied. "It's too early to make announcements, but I have a few potential contenders for the spot. With Christmas right around the corner I don't think I will be making the announcement until January, but I'll make sure to do it as soon as possible."

[Latvijas Otra Republika]

Eleanor Brosnan @65Ms.Eleanor I congratulate Jillian Dayton for her accomplishments; her Presidency would be beneficial. I support her but I just can't stand silently if she let's the vocal minority choose her Vice President. America deserves a Veep that represents everyone, America needs a negotiator. Moderates need to be THE priority. #DaytonsVeepList RETWEETSFAVORITE

Eleanor Brosnan @65Ms.Eleanor @AlaskanAstronaut Said it best. State over party, people over party. We can't tear new rifts, we can't be drastic in our decisions. RETWEETSFAVORITE

I will absolutely support our Party's nominee, we have 2 pretty good options! Only if stupid RINOs like Augusta Merriam would make the same commitment!

"Thank you. Having a vacant Vice Presidency doesn't really suit anyone, and it's a process the House would like to get done swiftly. That said, I do have to draw something of a line in the sand here. The Democratic leadership on the Hill has agreed that we won't confirm a hardcore Wolfist, and in earnest, would prefer you select a moderate. Would you care to share your contenders with me?"

I ask of all our Democrats, voters and politicians alike, to respect the primary process. We may have our little differences but ultimately our wider goals are the same: guarantee human rights, end poverty, empower the marginalized. Whoever our nominee is, I have no doubt that they will be one of our greatest presidents in modern history. We should rally behind them.

I find it curious that, for all the centrist criticism of factionalism and purity politics, the threat of disunity is coming from those who self-identify as the moderate wing of the party. Working families need us to put ideological differences aside and get the job done. C'mon guys.
