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

[Louisianan]

"Stop right there, I will never call President Wolf of Secretary Porter a Nazi or a Fascist, that is not how this campaign is going forward. Any who, to those who disagree with climate change, I say look at the facts, look at the science, and if you can look at the facts and science and still claim that nothing is wrong, you should get checked into a hospital."

"But President Wolf is a tyrant, and Secretary Porter is LITERALLY a Nazi! Ms. Lazare, you can't deny evidence!"

"I am not going to condone name-calling of anybody, I'm not denying evidence, I have always said, Love Trumps Hate, and I'm not going to stoop down to the Republican tactic of name calling, next question please."

Linda Lazare is doing a great job running a transparent campaign that answers to the people! The GOP needs to hold the Republican candidates to the same standard and demand townhalls to answer questions on the issues of the day.

It had once again come to that point in the week when House Minority Leader Volker was to begin another ‘Twitter town hall’, having felt that the concept proved better than his initial scepticism had merited it. And so, having been notified subtly that the stream had begun and going over his scripted introduction, the Missourian waited for the nation to ask its questions.

After the long five hour drive from Beaumont, Linda decided to nap at her hotel before she made her speech in Corpus Christi,

Good Afternoon, Corpus Christi! How are you fellows and fellowettes doing? It's been a good while since I've visited this great town, not much has changed! I love Nueces County, I used to visit my grandfather over in Driscoll, that was a good while ago. Today, I'll be discussing gun rights, I know there are a lot of gun carrying members here today, who are worried about my policies. The right to own a gun, is just as, if not more important than our right to vote. I own guns, all of my relatives know how to fire a gun, and my grandfather in Driscoll made sure I knew how to protect myself."

"I am not a Gun Free democrat, I feel that the minority of gun owners like those who perform shootings, give the rest of the gun owning population a bad name. Texas comes in at number 18 when it comes to gun ownership, with 12.8 guns on record for every 1,000 residents. That's 337,309 firearms among 26,448,193 people. I can't remember where I was going, but I saw a man wearing a shirt that said, "The Second Amendment, America's Original Homeland Security", I just had to go and shake that mans hand, he was actually in my newest campaign advertisement."

"Any who, I do think that guns need to be registered, and do need to have a background check to purchase them. This is not to infringe on your second amendment, this is to ensure that people like Adam Lanza get caught after committing a mass shooting. If a criminal registers their weapon, then they can later be tracked down if the weapon is found. I also think mental health assessments also should be mandatory before owning a gun, this is also to stop people like Adam Lanza from getting their hands on guns, while also allowing everyday, healthy, good hearted Texans to keep each and every weapon they own. I am not against guns or gun owners, I am against nutjobs who want to kill people. In the words of Conservative (Not-Anne Coulter) Guns don't kill people, the mentally ill do, and I am in full agreement with that statement. Had Adam Lanza been diagnosed with Schizophrenia, he wouldn't have gotten two MILES near a gun."

"Very regularly, my campaign gets calls from Conservatives and Republicans wanting to know why I want to take their guns so read my lips, I will not take your guns. I will not help anyone take your guns, and I can assure you, Guns are safe with me as your senator. I want to keep your kids, your grandkids, and you, safe. Vote for me in the Democratic Primary, Vote for me in the General Election, let's protect the constitution, together!"

Linda decided to sight see around Corpus Christi before she made her speech at Del Mar College, visiting the USS Lexington Museum, and then made her way to the college where she began to speak,

"Hello, students, faculty, and staff. I'm glad to be here, a few of my cousins came here way back when. Let's talk about issues that will affect your generation and currently are. I'll start off with my views on cheaper colleges. I think that many people in Texas and around the world are surprised at the high costs to get a proper education, research from Citizens Financial Group suggests that over 60 percent of student debt borrowers expect to pay off their loans sometime in their 30s or 40s. Data collected at state levels supports these findings. A study from Wisconsin found that it takes graduates of Wisconsin universities 19.7 years to pay off a bachelor’s degree and 23 years to pay off a graduate degree. And what if you miss these payments?"

"If you miss a payment on your student loan you have about 270 days to make a payment before your debt goes into default. Going into default means the government is able to garnish your wage, your Social Security check, your federal tax refund and even your disability benefits. Who decided that the government was a big loan shark business? Everybody, since Einstein and before have said, the key to a good community is good education, and if we are denying people an education based on their wealth or living status, we are doing something wrong. That is why I agree with making colleges cheaper to get into."

"The next thing I'll discuss is the climate, the climate is rapidly deteriorating, science tells us this. On our current path, we have ten years, ten years to change our current status. The Republican Party which included Teddy Roosevelt, used to be the party for the climate, making national parks and refugees. Yet, at some point, they completely dropped the idea, and began ignoring scientists, Jimmy Carter may not have been too good of a president, but his stance on Climate Change could have saved us precious time, but almost all of his policies were discarded by Reagan, including the climate policies. In the years before and after Reagan, Americans became greedy, we didn't want to save the environment, we were too busy making ourselves rich, and powerful, which don't get me wrong, is a good thing. But we turned a blind eye to the environment, I'm not saying we ought to become a 100% Eco Friendly place, I just think we should put more research into the enviornment to help keep it protected, which in turn will help us all live happier, healthier lives."

Linda looked at her watch, she had a little bit of extra time,
"Alright, does anybody have an questions they'd like me to answer?"

“Congresswoman, recently economists have projected that the United States may potentially be in danger of a financial recession in the mid to short-term future. How do you intend to ensure that any damage to the Texan economy and to Texan employees is minimised if you are elected to the Senate?”

"Well, if such a thing were to happen, which is very possible, I would support any economic "care package" for the states. Texas in particular needs to better allocate our rainy day funds to make sure that we have enough if there were to be a recession or anything like that. I would strive to increase unemployment benefits for a limited amount of time during said financial crisis. Upwards of 48,000,000,000 is Texas' current debt, so effectively helping workers and such, would be a great expenditure for a long period of time, so a short term stimulus care package or an increase in unemployment benefits would have to do.

Texas comes in at number 18 when it comes to gun ownership, with 12.8 guns on record for every 1,000 residents. That's 337,309 firearms among 26,448,193 people. I can't remember where I was going, but I saw a man wearing a shirt that said, "The Second Amendment, America's Original Homeland Security", I just had to go and shake that mans hand, he was actually in my newest campaign advertisement."

"Any who, I do think that guns need to be registered, and do need to have a background check to purchase them. This is not to infringe on your second amendment, this is to ensure that people like Adam Lanza get caught after committing a mass shooting. If a criminal registers their weapon, then they can later be tracked down if the weapon is found. I also think mental health assessments also should be mandatory before owning a gun, this is also to stop people like Adam Lanza from getting their hands on guns, while also allowing everyday, healthy, good hearted Texans to keep each and every weapon they own. I am not against guns or gun owners, I am against nutjobs who want to kill people. In the words of Conservative (Not-Anne Coulter) Guns don't kill people, the mentally ill do, and I am in full agreement with that statement. Had Adam Lanza been diagnosed with Schizophrenia, he wouldn't have gotten two MILES near a gun."

"Very regularly, my campaign gets calls from Conservatives and Republicans wanting to know why I want to take their guns so read my lips, I will not take your guns. I will not help anyone take your guns, and I can assure you, Guns are safe with me as your senator. I want to keep your kids, your grandkids, and you, safe. Vote for me in the Democratic Primary, Vote for me in the General Election, let's protect the constitution, together!"

Linda decided to sight see around Corpus Christi before she made her speech at Del Mar College, visiting the USS Lexington Museum, and then made her way to the college where she began to speak,

"Hello, students, faculty, and staff. I'm glad to be here, a few of my cousins came here way back when. Let's talk about issues that will affect your generation and currently are. I'll start off with my views on cheaper colleges. I think that many people in Texas and around the world are surprised at the high costs to get a proper education, research from Citizens Financial Group suggests that over 60 percent of student debt borrowers expect to pay off their loans sometime in their 30s or 40s. Data collected at state levels supports these findings. A study from Wisconsin found that it takes graduates of Wisconsin universities 19.7 years to pay off a bachelor’s degree and 23 years to pay off a graduate degree. And what if you miss these payments?"

"If you miss a payment on your student loan you have about 270 days to make a payment before your debt goes into default. Going into default means the government is able to garnish your wage, your Social Security check, your federal tax refund and even your disability benefits. Who decided that the government was a big loan shark business? Everybody, since Einstein and before have said, the key to a good community is good education, and if we are denying people an education based on their wealth or living status, we are doing something wrong. That is why I agree with making colleges cheaper to get into."

"The next thing I'll discuss is the climate, the climate is rapidly deteriorating, science tells us this. On our current path, we have ten years, ten years to change our current status. The Republican Party which included Teddy Roosevelt, used to be the party for the climate, making national parks and refugees. Yet, at some point, they completely dropped the idea, and began ignoring scientists, Jimmy Carter may not have been too good of a president, but his stance on Climate Change could have saved us precious time, but almost all of his policies were discarded by Reagan, including the climate policies. In the years before and after Reagan, Americans became greedy, we didn't want to save the environment, we were too busy making ourselves rich, and powerful, which don't get me wrong, is a good thing. But we turned a blind eye to the environment, I'm not saying we ought to become a 100% Eco Friendly place, I just think we should put more research into the enviornment to help keep it protected, which in turn will help us all live happier, healthier lives."

Linda looked at her watch, she had a little bit of extra time,
"Alright, does anybody have an questions they'd like me to answer?"

An African-American man asks a question. "What are your solutions for homelessness in many of our large cities?"

"My solutions for homelessness and poverty, are to raise the national minimum wage, and to decrease the cost of universities nationwide. So, people like Ms. Leslie who I spoke about in Beaumont who work for little to nothing with medium sized families, won't go into poverty, won't go into homelessness. By making colleges cheaper, people will be more likely to go after they graduate high school. Also, I do plan on proposing a bill that would help get and secure more jobs to people across the United States if I get elected, which by my math, would drastically reduce homelessness in bigger states like Texas, Florida, New York, Washington State, California, where homelessness is on the rise."

[Louisianan]

"I say 'Yay', it's about time we have enthusiasm when it comes to climate change, but if you look at the logistics of things, and the mindsets of some of the senate and house republicans, I doubt any serious environmental legislation would pass unless, you fellows and fellowettes, vote blue in 2020."

"But ma'am, if you won't support it because it won't pass, you're just as bad as them. We the people demand progress, and we demand it now! I say we vote for that progress, not half-promises about it!"

"I do support it, I said we need to look closer at some big environmental policies, I don't support going completely green because I am not only thinking about future generations, but also current generations. Right now, air pollutants emitted from cars contribute to such problems as asthma, heart disease, and increase the levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Science knows this, and so do I. If we ban gas cars, people in those car factories will go out of work, not to mention how much the price of electric cars will increase, making it more difficult for Everyday Linda's, and Joes to purchase proper transportation, not to mention how much the price of public transportation would increase. So, I support slowly weaning off of things and not just jump up and ban things that everybody relies on."

So, I support slowly weaning off of things and not just jump up and ban things that everybody relies on."

"People in those factories go to hell! So many jobs will be created by going green, they vastly outweigh the losses in the auto industry. What are you afraid of, Ms. Lazare?"

After the long five hour drive from Beaumont, Linda decided to nap at her hotel before she made her speech in Corpus Christi,

Good Afternoon, Corpus Christi! How are you fellows and fellowettes doing? It's been a good while since I've visited this great town, not much has changed! I love Nueces County, I used to visit my grandfather over in Driscoll, that was a good while ago. Today, I'll be discussing gun rights, I know there are a lot of gun carrying members here today, who are worried about my policies. The right to own a gun, is just as, if not more important than our right to vote. I own guns, all of my relatives know how to fire a gun, and my grandfather in Driscoll made sure I knew how to protect myself."

Kaplan, Louisiana
Hypolite Gaspard
February 1, 2020

---

Hypolite Gaspard walked up and down the main street of Kaplan, meeting with local businessmen, and the mayor, and the teachers at the Rene Rost Middle School, before making his way to the middle school cafeteria, where he would make his speech to the people of Kaplan from the stage.

"Hello! It's been such a long time since I been here in this school. I remember when my daughter came here, she was the head cheerleader and my son was the captain of the football team. I remember Mr. Rene Rost, my daddy worked with his brother on the Pine Island Ferry over in Forked Island, good man. Anyway, I'm here to ask for the votes of your town, I won't get Sammy Cashat's endorsement if thats what y'all are afraid of!" Hypolite laughed,

"My cousin really made a mess of things didn't he? Anyway, I want to make little towns and cities like Kaplan thrive again. In Louisiana, more people are leaving than they're coming in, leaving Kaplan for places like Lafayette, or Deridder, or doing like many of my brothers, and going to Texas. I love Louisiana, that's why I'm here asking for your votes. I will support the small man, and attack the big man, I will vote for what will help Louisiana and against anything else. "

"I ain't gonna vote with the party, I'm gonna vote with the people of Louisiana. People like you, the teacher, the policeman, the store owner, the fisherman, the banker. I will vote on what will help you, not people like Sammy Kershaw with money out of their as- out of their rear ends. You all are the foundation of America, and you should be treated as such in congress, and I plan on helping you do that. For education issues, I'll ask the teachers for advice, for crime issues, I'll ask the police for advice, for business issues, I'll ask the owners of the many mom and pop businesses."

"There is no reason for me to appease the many, as long as there is a minority, I'll take the majority of Louisianan opinions and merge it with the minority to build a general consensus on what I'm gonna do. I want to know what you want, if a bill is being debated upon and I get a letter from a citizen, I'll read it on the Senate Floor and tell them what you think, and why I'm gonna vote the way I will. I'll work with who I have to work with to make your needs and wants come true, until you thrive. That is the day i will leave politics, when Louisiana is thriving, when we have people staying instead of leaving, when I help jobs come here, and when I help technology come here, and when I help small businesses come here and stay."

"I don't want to politicize everyday issues, but with Republicans in power, gas prices will go down, money in your pockets will go up, taxes will go down, crime will go down, and happiness will be at a full time high. Look at what I've done in politics, look at what I did as mayor here, look at what I did as a Senator before and think about what I can do as a Senator now! I'm not one for big speeches, so I'll let you folks go, feel free to write to my home any time as concerned citizens, and I'll happily respond. Goodbye Kaplan! See Y'all Later! Au Revoir Les Gen De Kaplan!"
