Home of The Brave: A 1960's Political RP

[Louisianan]

I am SO SO sorry for not being active. I've been busy with certain irl things. Can someone catch me up?

Vietnam got worse, Racist bills are being discussed in the House, a constitutional amendment passed the Senate and House, and we got a few more players!!! We still have no VP, and we still need more representatives.

[Newne Carriebean7]

I can't decide which is better, having Sharp go through campaign shit shows in northern cities, actually commit to the white rights party and declare himself an "independent" or towing the line with Boohe as his trusty side-kick (only because he couldn't pick the other senator from Mississippi) and have a bonified shot at the White House, should Boothe focus on the ticket.

I mean he's not really that focused on campaigning, mostly as a partial response to Jackson's meddling actions and to act as some conservative Dixiecrat. I mean he could get into a spat with the southern belle senator in calling her out.

Two comments. It's Boone, and also, could you refrain from detailing the other senators actions? We don't want to have an issue if another person wants to app as him and then we'd have to retcon stuff.

If he commits to a "white rights" ticket he will be censured, he will lose all committee assignments, any bill he proposes will be voted down, and he will stand a good chance of losing his Senate seat to a Democratic challenger.

Well, well well! Get to work Free Ward! No time to waste!!!

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

If anyone is up to co-sponsor an act to enforce the twenty-fourth amendment and the fifteenth amendment while we're at it, I got one completed and ready to put into the docket once the 24th goes through congress.

It might not pass, but it'll make a good campaign lightning rod.

[Louisianan]

I also have a bill that I'm working on.

[Hopal]

but he can just get republican votes plus his fellow liberal democrats and that's enough.

It is too progressive for the time period. It is basically equivalent to the ERA in many respects, and that didn't come around till the 70s

I don't think that Richard nesscarily expects his bill to pass, instead he wants to use the bill as a talking point to his anti-segregationist. He also will be focusing on the economic impact of the bill rather than the social impact.

CURRENT DATE: January 15th-21st, 1959

Welcome to the Home of the Brave, an American Political and Character RP where players can explore the ins and outs of government, from the southern politics of the Democrats to Progressive Ideas of the Moderate Republicans, to the tooth and nail Civil Rights movement in inner cities and progressive states.

1959, the beginning of a decade of political sociological, and technological change, Sex, Drugs, Rock ‘n’ roll, a decade of Vietnam and Woodstock, a decade where humanity reached the moon and saw communism grip the earth. What is your place? Do you stand as a civil rights leader, marching against oppression? Or are you standing in the doorway of an Alabama schoolhouse? Are you a war hawk advocating for a Cold War to turn hotter? Or will you highlight the basic common bonds that unite us all?

Join the RP as a politician or major figure just before one of the most contentious elections in history, can you do better than the historical figures that dominated the period? Run for president, be a kingmaker or just find your cause to stand for. Where does your ambition lead you?

Play as a Senator, Governor, Congressperson, Mayor or any other figure with a hand in the politics of yesteryear. Or run for office, from military hero to the Presidency to fight for your piece of America's Political pie. Create an original character, make history and help them create, The Home of the Brave.

All characters in this RP are original, and all politicians after FDR died office in 1945 have been replaced with fictional characters. Most events that occurred in real history have occurred in this RP, the economy is in the same shape, the climate, healthcare, are all the same. The only difference is America's entrance into the Vietnam War.

President Henry Davis was elected as a Republican as a War Hero, upsetting the ultimate noninterventionist candidate in a long and hard battle in the primary. Davis is similar to Eisenhower, with similar beliefs regarding civil rights, and foreign affairs, a similar tendency to be quiet yet cunning, and an identical emphasis on rhetoric that has kept American politics stable for his past two terms. In 1955 the Republicans took massive losses across the country resulting in losing the House as well as the Senate. In late 1958, President Davis and congress decided to finally commit to the Vietnam War and there is a great fog over the country, not knowing what will happen, as the draft took many young boys overseas.

As 1959 draws closer to an end, Washington begins to heat up with both the primary fields buffing out, many remain in each party's primaries. In a shocking turn of events, President Davis declares to the nation, that he will not give assistance to the Republican Candidates until the primary is over.

In the midst of a time of great chaos and national confusion, where do you stand?

THE RULES:

1. The OP's words are the words of the Gods, but these Gods are not infallible, you can argue your position in a civil way but in the end their decision is final.

2. No real people or celebrities as characters. There is no John F. Kennedy that you can play. As per the introductory note, politicians post-FDR do not exist, or have been replaced with generic stand-ins: you can play them, should you wish. Records and history are the same, including statistics, save in the places where player-characters have brought about a change.

3. Regarding absences- If you, for whatever reason, must take a leave from the roleplay-that is of course fine. But please inform us ahead and how long it may take. If you are found to have just up and left the RP, we may have to simulate how you character act in votes per say, especially depending on their importance.

4. When it comes to writing; please do it well. We expect a certain level of quality with your posts. One or two sentences will not be acceptable, but we can be permissive-if your character is engaged in conversation, a sentence is fine

5. Please make characters of quality and substance. We don't want Mary Sue flawless characters who are 30-year-olds, actresses, former sharecroppers with military service earning a medal of honor and then returning from Korea to attend Harvard. Those characters aren't very fun to play or interact with. But on the other hand-no sabotage characters. Just because you hate Democrats, don't make a hopelessly corrupt and scandal-ridden Democrat with no redeeming qualities.

6. No cheat-edits. Once you've made an IC post, leave it. Edits to formatting are all right along with typos, but don't try to change anything major compared to what you have already written, especially if it has already been responded to. If your character said it in public, it must stay. Gaffes happen, after all.

7. If you are not sure if something is legal or okay, ask OOC first. Always better to check-and there is limited leniency for things that are obviously bad.

8. No events that directly affect another character without permission first. In essence, avoid physical altercations and outrageous "accidents". Assassination is banned, any external action taken against politicians will take place in the form of an event.

9. No meta-gaming. Do not let the OOC influence the realism of your character's actions. If they are in a closed situation in which information is limited, they cannot state-specific statistics, for example.

10. PG-13 limit. Per site-wide rules, nothing too saucy or racy. You know it when you see it.

11. The IC may have racially charged moments with the RP being in 1959, but the N***** word is unacceptable, and we request that you instead use, 'Coloreds' or something along those lines. Racism in the OOC will NOT be tolerated and will result in an immediate ousting from the RP.

Official Name: Preeminent, Reliable & Organized Government Economic Social Solutions Act

Nickname: PROGRESS Act

Overview: This comprehensive legislation has the aim of increasing the purchasing power of the U.S economy, creating both short term and long term employment opportunities for labourers and improving the living conditions of American workers living on the minimum wage pay check. It proposes that the Public Works Administration, discontinued in 1944, be re-created as it were in 1944 with a starting allocated funds of 10$ Million. It proposes that federally mandated current minimum wage of 1.00$ be change to 1.20$.

Sponsor: Senator Floyd Lahde (D-MT)
Co-Sponsors:

---

Section 1: The Public Works Administration served a vital role in creating bridges, roads and other vital national developments throughout the United States. Having spent 7$ Billion throughout it's existence, Americans now enjoy a much more comfortable standard of living and transport. By reintroducing the Administration & it's previous administrative structure, this unprecedented progress and continue. Both by drawing public funds, donations and negotiating contracts; America can see further employment creating opportunities in new hydroelectric dams and construction jobs. Through creating new contracts, unemployment should gradually decline while productivity increases. The allocated 50$ Million shall kickstart minor projects throughout the country, re-creating the infrastructure developments of President FDR's presidency on a much smaller scale.

Section 2: By raising the minimum wage from the current 1.00$ to 1.20$, the poorest workers and employed persons shall have an increased disposable income. The improvement of social conditions, greater purchasing power and money spending on small businesses is all attributed to higher wages. This raise will improve both the economy and living standards of America's poorest citizens, a factor which will also counter Communist and other Counter-American groups that prey on lower-tax bracket discontent. The increase in wages would also improve social conditions if they go in hand in hand with the increase in National projects conducted by the Public Works Administration, as more workers would be hired.

This bill is then honorably presented to the Senate for consideration in order to change American Socio-Economic Conditions & Infrastructure to improve the United States Law and is backed by Floyd Lahde.

Sharp likes the Vietnam Memorial Act, so he'll gladly be a co-sponser for it. That might even be one of the few things Sharp can agree with almost anyone on, unless he then complains about the cost of some statue.

On one hand, Sharp's going into one bruising senatorial primary fight, so if he agrees to co-sponser the Progress Act, he can go back to his state and say "you stupid fucks, I'm workin' to raise the minimum wage slightly, I'M WORKING FOR YOU POOR PEASENTS, now shine my shoes."

But, on the other hand, I'm trying to emulate Ellison D. Smith, so maybe Sharp won't go as far as co-sponsering the bill, but he'll vote for it when it comes up for a Senate Vote just to keep some Mississippian complaints that he's been too far-right even for Mississippi on economics.

Official Name: Federal Relief Ensuring Entrepreneurialism Act

Nickname: FREE Act

Overview: This legislation is intended to, while decreasing bureaucracy and remaining balance-neutral, address the chronic poverty experienced by millions within these United States while encouraging and aiding in their self improvement within the context of free markets and free enterprise. It accomplishes this through the creation of a Federal Minimum Income Program and an Employment Education System. This legislation additionally seeks to relieve the burden of wage price controls on unemployed people unable to find work, small businesses who are driven into stagnation or closure and the lower income individual's who's consumption disproportionately consists of those products negatively effected by wage price controls, by simultaneously phasing out the federal minimum wage as redundant.

Section 1: The story of American prosperity has been the story of free individuals exchanging goods and services with each other through the mechanism of the market and freedom of enterprise. Yet, despite the free market organization of the economy, the great depression taught us that a failure of government to provide a means for the less fortunate to be insulated by fluctuations in the market can lead to immense suffering and freedom harming strife. The federal government therefore, must to provide the best possible means to ensure the maximum possible freedom of markets and enterprise, so individuals may reach the highest heights and lift the nation with them, while also protecting the citizenry from the lowest lows. In response to the great depression, a web of well meaning, though tangled programs were implemented to provide economic security. However, this tangled web has unnecessarily increased the size of the federal bureaucracy and has lead to an unnecessary degree of central planning by the government, something that has the tendency to pull nations toward tyranny. We must, therefore implement a remedy to this conundrum that is most compatible with American ideals of freedom of free markets and free enterprise.

It proposes that federally mandated current minimum wage of 1.00$ be change to 1.20$.

Sponsor: Senator Floyd Lahde (D-MT)
Co-Sponsors:

Section 1: The Public Works Administration served a vital role in creating bridges, roads and other vital national developments throughout the United States. Having spent 7$ Billion throughout it's existence, Americans now enjoy a much more comfortable standard of living and transport. By reintroducing the Administration & it's previous administrative structure, this unprecedented progress and continue. Both by drawing public funds, donations and negotiating contracts; America can see further employment creating opportunities in new hydroelectric dams and construction jobs. Through creating new contracts, unemployment should gradually decline while productivity increases. The allocated 50$ Million shall kickstart minor projects throughout the country, re-creating the infrastructure developments of President FDR's presidency on a much smaller scale.

Section 2: By raising the minimum wage from the current 1.00$ to 1.20$, the poorest workers and employed persons shall have an increased disposable income. The improvement of social conditions, greater purchasing power and money spending on small businesses is all attributed to higher wages. This raise will improve both the economy and living standards of America's poorest citizens, a factor which will also counter Communist and other Counter-American groups that prey on lower-tax bracket discontent. The increase in wages would also improve social conditions if they go in hand in hand with the increase in National projects conducted by the Public Works Administration, as more workers would be hired.

Section 1: The story of American prosperity has been the story of free individuals exchanging goods and services with each other through the mechanism of the market and freedom of enterprise. Yet, despite the free market organization of the economy, the great depression taught us that a failure of government to provide a means for the less fortunate to be insulated by fluctuations in the market can lead to immense suffering and freedom harming strife. The federal government therefore, must to provide the best possible means to ensure the maximum possible freedom of markets and enterprise, so individuals may reach the highest heights and lift the nation with them, while also protecting the citizenry from the lowest lows. In response to the great depression, a web of well meaning, though tangled programs were implemented to provide economic security. However, this tangled web has unnecessarily increased the size of the federal bureaucracy and has lead to an unnecessary degree of central planning by the government, something that has the tendency to pull nations toward tyranny.

Anyone interested in co-sponsoring any of this?

Sharp likes the Vietnam Memorial Act, so he'll gladly be a co-sponser for it. That might even be one of the few things Sharp can agree with almost anyone on, unless he then complains about the cost of some statue.

On one hand, Sharp's going into one bruising senatorial primary fight, so if he agrees to co-sponser the Progress Act, he can go back to his state and say "you stupid fucks, I'm workin' to raise the minimum wage slightly, I'M WORKING FOR YOU POOR PEASENTS, now shine my shoes."

But, on the other hand, I'm trying to emulate Ellison D. Smith, so maybe Sharp won't go as far as co-sponsering the bill, but he'll vote for it when it comes up for a Senate Vote just to keep some Mississippian complaints that he's been too far-right even for Mississippi on economics.

The 'decedent' Northern liberal teaming up with the 'upright' southern conservative would instantly unify the party, dream team

[Free Ward Marchers]

we really need more liberal democrats, and conservative republicans. also we still need leadership positions such as speaker, vice president, majority leader ect.

What?

I've been building up to a proposal like this with the Governorship RP, I was always going to put out an alternative to a minimum wage hike/public works the moment one was put in the docket.

[Zohiania]

Warszawski will not support any bill that increases the minimum wage
