Cragin caught the lighter with a smirk, before using it and taking a long drag. She sat across from the man and crossed her legs, pushing her hair to the side.

Relief Committee Press Conference, Washington D.C.



"Thank you, everyone. Please be seated." Baxton began, guiding the room around.

"Before I begin our conference, I would like to say a few words." He continued. "Let me tell you all the purpose of this conference. The Bipartisan Consultation Committee on Recession Relief, or BCCRR, as it will be called, is here to provide for the American people. We are here to build solutions, to build unity and to strengthen America.

We stand here not as Republicans, not as Democrats, but as Americans, united in our collective principles and our collective greatness, the same greatness that God has bestowed upon every man and woman in this country. We are here to help the American people, and to ensure that this great challenge that lies ahead of us is defeated and that the American people may share in the fruits of prosperity soon enough.

The members of this committee are Congressman Faulhauber of Tennessee, Governor Caldwell of Washington, Senator Goldman of Connecticut, Congressman Edwards of Georgia, Mrs. Mudale of Alabama, and of course, myself.

We will now be taking questions, both from the American people..." He pointed at a large interface behind him, where people could call in, "And of course, the members of the press. You are free to ask as many questions as you'd like."

“You want my endorsement?”

The man took a long drag on his cigarette, then coughed- it was clear he was not a prolific smoker.

Senator Augusta Merriam
New Hampshire
Sunday 2nd May, 2020

Church had been droll, that was for certain. Catholic adherent as she was, Augusta could never shake the fact that her local church in Manchester was just... a bit dire, really. The vicar was drab, the decor was a bit lackluster, and frankly, the place had been build post-Vatican II so it lacked any of the charm that Old World Catholicism had. They wouldn't settle for this sort of thing in the old country, she was damn sure of that much. After drawing from a flask at her hip, she headed up into the Kolodziej family home and made her way to the library where she did much of her work when staying with family. Dumping her handbag on the desk, she slid into her chair, sighing harshly.

She remembered when she and Agatha Cragin had been friends. Legislative partners that had helped pin the Republican Party just shy of going totally fucking batshit. And it had been good, whilst it lasted. They've both weathered the humiliation of the (not-Kavanaugh) affair. And whilst Augusta had come out of it bold and determined not to bend to any further demands from Warrick or the White House, the Agatha that Augusta had known had withered and died, the vine almost entirely barren. The recent spate of events had been fierce. Brutal. Bloody. And Augusta didn't quite know how to feel about it. Deplorable, of course. Publicly, she could hardly embrace the bitter slander that had been unleashed against Eliza.

And yet... Augusta saw in those acts of raw survivalism, of sheer will to live that the Agatha Cragin that had been dying a slow death had found new vitality. Some remnant cinder of her old friend had been nurtured into an inferno. Augusta had been disgusted by what Agatha had become, so disgusted that she willingly embraced the chance to nurture Eliza and mould her in the same way that Augusta had influence over her stepson - to make the Wolf family her agents to keep the Republican Party honest. And now the Agatha that she had once known had re-emerged, like Lazarus from the tomb, an entirely unexpected series of events and in the wake of which the New Hampshirite knew she would have to reap what she had sewn.

Rustling through her handbag, she produced her phone and flicked through the numbers with a slow hum. Eventually, getting down to Senator Warrick's, she hit call and went to start pouring herself a bourbon as she listened to it dial.

“Senator Merriam apologies for the delay, I had a senate election meeting that went long.... how can I help you?”

[Gordano and Lysandus]

“Senator Merriam apologies for the delay, I had a senate election meeting that went long.... how can I help you?”

"I've been keeping my eye on Maine. For better or for worse, Agatha's back like a phoenix from the ashes, and with Eliza struggling, she should win her primary. But we need to make sure she's not too bloodied by that primary going into the general. Now, the polls have been spooky for the First Lady. Very spooky, I think. So this is probably our best opportunity to try to find an off-ramp for Eliza," she explained, humming softly, "Do we have anything that we, or the President, can give Eliza that'll let her persist in public life with dignity?"

Governor Bucknell Stumps in SC–1

---

Wesley "Jack" Bucknell arrived in this vulnerable district, having been persuaded by party leadership to stump for [Generic Republican], who was running against a Democratic incumbent. The main objective was to turn out reliably conservative voters rather than sway any moderates.

May 1 — Beaufort
Bucknell started in his hometown, a strong conservative bastion where he had a dedicated following. As soon as he was sighted in the city, he was practically pulled out of his car to give an impromptu speech before a crowd of frenzied supporters. With placards bearing the Republican candidate's name and even a few Confederate flags tossing in the wind, the Governor spent twenty minutes under the spring Carolina sun lecturing his audience on the vices of their incumbent representative. A gay-marriage-officiating, baby-murdering, church-torching Hippie who used the Constitution for toilet paper and planned to shut down every military base in the state— Bucknell painted the Democrat in every color of evil, and by the time he was finished, many in the crowd would sooner have voted for Old Hob. Amidst cheers and applause, the Governor resumed his tour of his hometown.

Too old and cantankerous for door-knocking, he nevertheless participated in a few hours of retail campaigning joined by [Generic Republican]. Together they kissed babies, socialized with voters, and staged photo shoots (much to Bucknell's displeasure) all day long, before giving a joint rally in the town square that evening. With an even larger crowd to address, Wes was in his element.

"The fate of our nation," he bellowed, "hangs in the balance! Loony liberals like [Incumbent Democrat] want to destroy our armed forces, desecrate the Constitution, and turn our babies into gender-confused socialists! The radical left has declared total war on us, and we only have one option in response: fight back! We're gonna retake the House in a red wave this November! We will win the White House, we will defend the Senate, and we will reconquer the House! But we have to start right here, in our own backyards. [Generic Republican] is a strong man. A good man. An honest man. A conservative man. He will fight for our Constitutional right to defend ourselves from tyranny. He will fight for the lives of our unborn babies. And we will keep no-good crooks like [Incumbent Democrat] from every setting foot in Congress again!"

May 2 – 3 — Myrtle Beach

Bucknell stopped in Myrtle Beach, an even more conservative town with a sizable community of retirees. He joined [Generic Republican] in visiting a number of conservative roundtables, and tried to stay focused even as his ears begin to ring and repressed memories floated in his opaque eyes. He was quieter than usual throughout the day, the hours of retail and the dinner with Vietnam veterans which followed. He looked at the old men in their wheelchairs, enjoying a rare night out from their shoddy nursing homes where the sole highlight was bingo night. Was this what awaited for him after retirement, or electoral defeat? he wondered.

The next day, after more hand-shaking, he delivered the same speech he had given in Beaufort, though with considerably less gusto.

Governor Bucknell says some good points but he is very ANTI-WOLF. I hope he is not trying to undermine the agenda us true Wolfists have. Very odd man, probably needs a Snickers...or a nap!

Our primary goals will be to get the economy going, along with tackling unemployment. The latter in particular, as we hope to get Americans as many good jobs as quickly as possible."

I, like many Utahans and members of the Church of Jesus Christ, believe that a change in civil law, is not powerful enough to change the moral law that God has established for us to abide by, day in and day out. Sexual relations are proper only between a man and a woman who are legally and lawfully wedded as husband and wife. Period. But, this does not mean that people of the Homosexual group deserve any violence or hate directed towards them, as it is entirely against our Lords wishes. (Cont.)

Henry Mason

We do not believe that they are evil beings, and while we don't agree with their lifestyle choices, they are welcome in the House of God, and should be treated as fellow children of the lord up above, and by loving thy neighbor, you aren't supporting their lifestyle, but are instead supporting them in their road to recovery from their lifestyle. The gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us to love and treat all people with kindness and civility, even when we disagree. We may not know precisely why some people feel attracted to others of the same sex, but for some it is a complex reality and part of the human experience. (Cont.)

Henry Mason
@UtahMason1

The Savior Jesus Christ has a perfect understanding of every challenge we experience here on earth, and we can turn to Him for comfort, joy, hope, and direction. When we create a peaceful environment, we build charity and empathy for each other and benefit from our combined perspectives and faith. People of any sexual orientation who violate the law of chastity can be reconciled with God through repentance, as God is the most forgiving being upon our beautiful lands. (Cont.)

Henry Mason

Whilst we are sympathetic to the Homosexual Man/Woman, we do believe that their activities ought to be discouraged, and kept away from the public eye, and mainstream media. We shouldn't promote Homosexual activities, or allow them to be piped into the homes of our Christian families, via mainstream and liberal media. I support a Ban on Pornography, and I support the Freedoms given to our churches and pastors, and businesses to be able to decide whether or not they want to provide their services to a Same-Sex couple.
