Home of The Brave: A 1960's Political RP

[Louisianan]

Quick note, just so you know, you put 'citizens' as well as 'local law enforcement' meaning that if the law passes, only citizens of a territory may petition about the local law enforcement. In most cases, such as the one in NOLA, protestors came from out of state, meaning that the petitions would be in void, correct?

not a huge deal, but changed it anyway. It's easy for the Department of Justice to already know which police forces tend to cause issues, so they don't necessarily need the petitions as much as they would for organizations that just spring up.

Well tbh that really isn't a sturdy case, 'Should have already known'. Especially since a police force in Orleans Parish could be more corrupt than on in say Acadia Parish. Or even A Louisiana State Troopers office compared to a Alabama State Police.

ANNOUNCEMENT

I refuse to pass bills if only two people vote on them. It's very difficult to figure out which people would do what.

Edit: Whoops XDDDD I meant if only one person is voting and nobody seconds a motion made by that one person.

For instance, in the Senate, we have like 8 Senators, and only three of them vote on things, which is fine. The House, on the other hand, has 4 Reps and only two people are voting. Therefore, if we can keep at least two people voting in each chamber, we can get bills passed. If there is only one person making motions and stuff and that is the only person voting, it makes things hard to figure out the general consensus that each chamber would specifically make.

Edit: I misspoke in the announcement XDD

Hahaha, I love how Sharp actually tugs at the bait Boone embeds in his speeches, whether it be “point out MS on the map” or most recently the Hitler and Stalin line. He gets to basically determine the topics of Sharp’s speeches purely by triggering his opponent in the first paragraph or two. Boone’s last speech literally made Sharp go looney tunes in front of an audience of Northern Republicans. For this reason you can expect Boone to continue putting little digs at the beginnings of his speeches, because he knows that special someone will be carefully reading his every word.

Yeah Sharp's a very thin-skinned old man that's very easy to get under his skin and make him attempt to counterattack. That's one of his weaknesses, is that if you just jab and point at him, he'll blow up and go after you, and make himself look like an ass in the process. It'll have to be something his campaign manager will have to catch and coach him not to blow up every time someone makes fun of his policies or his bad breath.
Someone: Sharp your a bitch
Sharp's next speech: "Someone called me a bitch."

Great! Our date ought to be changing soon as well.

Can you give me a time so I can do it by then?

It might not even be today. I've been having trouble contacting the other mods, but when I know for certain, I'll give you all heads up

Posted big speech. Will be posting another speech in the next 24 hours, so would prefer if we could delay time change for 24 hours.

Considering that the accusation that Jackson is "an enemy of the constitution" is a pretty serious one, can Jackson sue Fraser for defamation?

Sure! But there is a very unlikely chance that he would win.

[Newne Carriebean7]

Sharp's going to jump on that too, so he'll have to get in touch with a lawyer.

I say that Jackson, Boone and Sharp team up with a common lawsuit against Fraser.

I highly suggest that you don't. A lawsuit would do nothing but lower your prestige and make you seem 'soft'. Only about 13% of these types of cases are successful, PLUS, as politicians and public figures, it is even MORE difficult to prove defamation. I'm warning you, a lawsuit won't help your campaigns in any way, and could, in fact, hurt them.

[Sao Nova Europa]

Well... I hadn't decided on it yet, so I will probably not be pursuing it (though I would encourage others to do).

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

two more speeches to go, second almost done.

I also pick my words very carefully. there's a reason I don't even say treason or sedition.

Come to think of it, doesn't really matter tbh

I apologize, but I feel like it's been a fair amount of time since the last date change for y'all to have gotten your posts out. Think of it as a break for Fraser.

[Louisianan]

Also, I understand how writing big speeches can be overwhelming, so, I have a suggestion. If you want to make an impact in smaller cities, or suburbs, or rural areas etc. you could always just do some retail work, (door-knocking, touring schools, speaking with business owners, doing town halls, eating at restaurants, milking cows etc.) because making a big speech and running is a lot less personal than retail work in many cases. Plus, if you do retail work, it could take the place of a speech, giving just as much impact, while making things easier for you! If you do a town hall, you could leave it open similar to Davis' press conferences, ("I now open myself to questions from the audience, any questions you have, step up to the stage"), and then the other players could barrage your character with questions, which could also take the place of a speech. Hell, you could do all three at once if you really wanted!

Governor Fraser is going take the position that Jackson probably wasn't responsible for any of the successes of WW2. Jackson really hasn't shown anything consistent with being responsible for the type of moderation it takes to run an alliance like Eisenhower did.

It's like if you have someone who's supposed to be a successful labor leader and all they do on the campaign trail is quote atlas shrugged. Reasonable to believe they weren't the ones writing their talks or doing strategy as a labor leader.

Thats a dangerous position to take since Jackson is basically our timelines MacArthur who is nationally known as a war hero. But go ahead, I'm sure MacArthur had opponents like this.

That. Jackson has shown his skills in warfare in World War II and in Korea (Battle of Inchon, considered one of the most decisive military operations in modern warfare). He graduated West Point first in his 93-man class, with an academic score of 2424.12 merits out of a possible 2470.00 or 98.14. He is widely considered a national hero. But Governor Fraser who never commanded a campaign can play it armchair general and criticize this guy. Go ahead.
