Earl was initially glad that his simple investment of whiskey had paid off, all smiles and nods as the Senator with the mouth of a sailor spouted off about God knows what. He was forced to chuckle affably at the Mississippian's lowbrow joke, privately wondering just how long the old bastard would rant, but was spirited when Sharp cut straight to business— even if the business managed to be needlessly lengthy. He listened raptly, trying to translate six layers of backwoods ignorance into anything that smacked of sense, and managed it here and there.Newne Carriebean7 wrote:Senator Sharp's Office, Capitol Hill

Official Public Statement from Roger Bradford
Dear Americans, it has come to my attention that racial tensions have been rising ever since the first colored people were transported to America. In light of this, I am sending this statement to say one of many things. Firstly I condemn white supremacy, segregationists, and Dixiecrats. They are public enemy number 1 and are a threat to a fair multiracial society. I will do everything in my power to insure that colored people are treated the same as white folk. Secondly I would like to announce my run for the White House. However I will not run as a Democrat but instead as a Republican. I still hold my progressive stance on many issues and the core reason on why I’m running as a Republican is because of breaking I want to break all association with the Dixiecrats. Lastly I would like to condemn a well known man that goes by the name of Senator Sharp. He is man of hatred towards the colored population and American values. He stands with a lost and broken cause. I warn all of you recognize his pure evil and insure he loses his power. Together we stand strong. God bless you all.

"Now, Mr. Matamoros, nobody is going to support an Affirmative Action bill, and you have to understand why. It isn't that people don't support the colored population or the Hispanic population, the fact is we believe in Equality. We believe that a negro is equal to any white man, but we also believe that if a woman is more qualified than a man, then she should get that job, same for the races. What we don't agree with is that if a white man is more qualified to participate in a certain occupation than a colored man, for instance, that the colored man gets that job because of his race. We are fighting for equality, not another version of racial discrimination. That is basically the exact opposite of what is going on now with whites getting the job regardless of the qualifications for the negro or man of Hispanic extraction. Now please, explain your bill idea more in-depth for me." Henry said with a serious tone and interested expression,

Also it would require employers to not look at the race of those who are applying for a job, but instead just at the qualifications. And it would ban redlining, which is housing segregation. The government of course would need to enforce this. I am open to more suggestions, but this is the idea I have. I am a liberal of the philosophy of De Tocqueville and Locke.

INTERVIEW OF THE CURRENT PRESUMPTIVE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
WAR HERO GENERAL JONATHAN JACKSON SAT DOWN FOR A ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEW
By Victor Turbot
January 5, 1959
D.C.- Former Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers; General Jonathan Jackson reached out to us for an Exclusive interview about his campaign and what his term would look like, and I interviewed him myself, you can find the full interview, below.
Victor Turbot: Thank you for agreeing to this interview, General.
Jackson: It's my pleasure to be talking to you.
Victor: General, there have been many questions surrounding your campaign such as how are you going to follow such an economically stable 8 years, and how are you going to handle the issue of civil rights? What is your answer to these questions?
Jackson: "I'll be answering about the economy first, since that I believe is the most important issue of our time. Economic stability is good, and I credit the President for this, but in order to remain ahead stability is not enough; we need explosive economic growth. Do mind you, this isn't a criticism or attack of the President; he has done a very good job. But I believe we can do even better. My economic agenda is based on three pillars."
"Pillar one are the tax cuts. As I've stated in my recent announcement, I'll be cutting the federal income tax and the corporate tax while also creating a minimum standard deduction; this aims to boost consumption - as people will have more money in their pockets - and investment as corporations will have more money to invest. I believe it is better to let consumers and corporations stimulate economic production rather than having the government do so, as market capitalism produces better results than communistic state planning; hence why I am proposing tax cuts rather than handouts or state investments."
"The second pillar is to remove harmful regulations. Yes, the state should regulate capitalism, in order to prevent abuses by bosses and danger to consumers. But some of the regulations only add up costs to businesses - which in turn raise the prices of goods for the consumers - while doing nothing of the sort; some regulations only exist to justify the pay of government bureaucrats and the funding of useless government departments. By removing them, businesses will have to deal with less red tape, which in turn means the services they offer will be cheaper."
"The third pillar is to cut waste in government. I do believe that most money that the government earns goes to good projects. I am not advocating for austerity or for cutting state aid to the poorest in our society. I am not a radical nor do I wish to defund social programs. But I do believe that in some cases, we have departments that are wasteful. I believe that every dollar matters and pledge to cut any waste that exists, so that the average American taxpayer can be benefited."
"Aside from those 'three pillars', I have also mentioned that I want a healthcare program that is a compromise between the ideals of liberty and security, a centrist solution. I believe we should be offering health insurance to the elderly that they can choose to purchase, instead of it being mandatory. That is a good compromise. Which leads me to your question about civil rights. I am a man who believes that national unity is of the outmost importance. A house divided cannot stand. We cannot allow ourselves to be divided before the Soviet menace. We are all Americans. Hence, as President, I will create bipartisan committee - with members being from both North and South - to reach an acceptable to all compromise on civil rights. It will be hard - I have no illusions about it - but I believe it is better to try for a solution that will unite America rather than push forth an agenda that will divide it once more."
Victor: If we cut the income tax, and put more money into the pockets of Americans, meaning more money is circulated, wouldn't something similar to the Stock Market Crash of '29 happen again? Also, could you explain more about this bi-partisan committee?
Jackson: "I believe that the Stock Market Crash of '29 wasn't caused by the average American, but rather by the deficiencies of the government. I am fairly certain that such a crash wouldn't happen, not to say that the American economy is far more stable now. There are two types of thinking, as I see it. Those who do not trust the average American and believe that government bureaucrats in Washington know better how to handle their money, and those who believe that the average American knows better his needs and those of his community, and so he should be the one deciding how his hard-earned money should be spent. I myself subscribe to the second type of thinking; I trust Americans. I trust the working man of this nation to decide what to do with his money."
"I also believe that putting more money into the pockets of Americans is a good thing. We need people to keep more of their money, so that they can buy more products and stimulate economic growth. We also need corporations to keep more of the money they earn, so that they have more money to invest into expanding their businesses, in the process creating new well-paying jobs. My dream for this country is for every American to have a well paying job."
"The bi-partisan committee will be made up of members of Congress from both chambers and from both sides. I will be speaking with party floor leaders to decide who will be in those committees. The representation will be both partisan and geographical. The committee will be tasked with debating and eventually reaching a compromise on civil rights. It will take some time - I do not expect the committee to come to any decisions in a few months. But it is better to find a solution acceptable to all rather than divide our nation as it faces the threat of Communism."
Victor: Studies have shown that in the prelude to the crash, more Americans were out spending, and businesses were producing more and more to comply with that influx in spending, and eventually, they produced too much, and they weren't able to sell it all, which caused over valuing of stocks, which in turn caused consumer confidence in the economy to decrease which in turn caused less spending, and people committing bank runs, all the while the Hoover administration did nothing to combat the crisis. What will you do to safeguard the economy from such a devastating event, in the case that it happens again?
Jackson: "The crash of 29' started as an ordinary recession, but the crisis was mishandled by the government. The great depression was caused by the fall of the money supply. People wanted to hold more money than the Federal Reserve was supplying, causing people to consume less by hoarding money. The Federal Reserve did not act to provide liquidity to banks suffering bank runs. If I was President and there was a recession, the Federal Reserve would be tasked with providing adequate liquidity to banks. I would also further cut taxes - temporarily - and increase spending - again temporarily - in order to boost consumption and production, thus getting us out of that hypothetical recession."
Victor: That is understandable. What are your thoughts on president Davis' recent attempts at continuing his work on Civil Rights, with his press releases about current legislative activity? And will you continue these efforts when you are in office, in addition to the BiPartisan committee?
Jackson:"I admire the President and have the outmost respect for him. On the issue of awarding electoral votes in the Electoral College to DC, I am supportive of this initiative. I cannot comment on the issue of civil rights though, as I believe it should be handled in a bipartisan manner rather than the President alone. Rest assured that any legislation on civil rights will have the support of both parties and of both North and South."
Victor: I see, also, since the beginning of President Davis' tenure in the white house, America has been more prepared than ever to withstand and defeat the red stare of the communists. He has sent out Preparedness PSA's and explained the dangers of a nuclear war should we get into one. How will you curb the power of the Russians, and end their influence in the Americas?
Jackson: "My plan is to ensure that the Block of Freedom - as I like to call the US and our allies - will be so far ahead economically and militarily, that the Soviets will be forced into a corner. Firstly, I shall increase by a lot financial and military aid to our allies in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. This will create new jobs here in America, as weapons will be manufactured to support our allies. American companies will be encouraged to invest in allied countries, expanding our businesses opportunities. Our aid packages shall be tripled, at the very least. It will be pricy, but as the economies of our allies grow in a rapid rate, they will be able to take on more and more of the cost of their security, lessening the cost for America in the long term."
"All in all, such a policy would push us and our allies so far ahead of the Communists, that they will be forced to acknowledge our superiority. Of course, such aid to our allies will come with requirements. Our allies will be encouraged to reform their economies - if and when necessary - to optimize their use of our aid and will also be required to take measures against corruption, to ensure that our aid does not go into the pockets of political and military elites. They will have to respect the American taxpayers."
"Secondly, I will be responding overwhelmingly to any Communist attempt to expand their reach. In Vietnam, as President I will authorize a surge in the number of troops and expand military operations to the North. Vietnam will be unified as democratic, capitalist country. Red China will have to accept that or face our wrath. The Republic of China and the Republic of Korea shall be armed to the tooth. Red China will have to accept that or face our wrath. Any Soviet-backed regime in the Americas shall be met with overwhelming military response. We will not allow Communism in our continent."
"This is not an antagonism between two major powers. This is clash between liberty and slavery, between good and evil. We have to win this struggle, lest America falls at the hands of Communism."
Victor: Wouldn't that mean an increase in taxes? How will we get all of the money, if you dismember the federal income tax and taxes like it?
Jackson: "By two ways. One, by cutting government waste, as I've already said. To clarify, I am not talking about scrapping social programs. I am taking about red tape and bureaucracy and departments we don't need. I will be making more specific announcements in the coming weeks. Secondly through economic growth: the combination of tax cuts - which will stimulate the economy - and military manufacturing for our allies - which will necessitate the creation of new jobs and enhance our productivity - shall lead to a substantial growth of our economy that will pay for the tax cuts. "
Victor: Alright, I think you have some campaigning to do, so if you have any final comments, now is the time to air them out, General.
Jackson: "I have executive experience: I've led a defeated and broken Japan towards the path of prosperity. I have military experience: I know how to defeat the Vietnamese Communists and contain the Soviet menace. I have proven my patriotism on the field of battle. I believe in freedom, prosperity and unity. I believe in a mighty and free America. I believe in a proud America."
General Jackson had a lot to say, and most of it was very appealing, and he encourages anyone who may be unsure about this Candidate, to write to his campaign office, and request a pamphlet about his Conservative policies and ideologies that he supports.

Bradford sat down and pointed to himself “Mr Fraser I’m sure your aware of the Dixiecrats right? Those white nationalists that want to give more power to the states and what to get rid of all the People of color in this nation, this people who would reinforce slavery if they could. Now we may be on different party lines, but let me be the first to tell you, I despise of their views. They are an enemy to the Republic and to this nation. Fraser, we both despise of them. I may be a Democrat, I may have been a supporter of some of FDR’s polices, but oh let me tell you, these southerners put me at a crossroads. No, scratch that, every Democrat is at a crossroads, either choose to either do nothing about the Dixiecrats, openly support them, or change parties. Fraser, even though your visit of America isn’t exactly the same as mine, both of our ideal visions of this nation is nation where the colored and white people in this nation get along, a nation without the fear of a man denying you service because of your color. I know the primaries are coming up, and if I openly insult the Dixiecrats, I may have no choice at winning. So Mr. Fraser, I plan to not only run for the presidency, but to run as a Republican. Know you being such a yellow fellow like me, and having big ambitions I would assume you want to run too. But Fraser take these words into consideration, if I win the Republican nomination, you will be my top and first pick as my running mate. Yes I know it is too early to even be thinking about that, but imagine the potential, we could easily grab both blue states that know me for my Democrat stance on some things, and you could win very conservative states as well. It would be the perfect match, as we both get along very very well. So what do you say Fraser?”

"Well, like the other Republican candidates, I'll also have to assure you that I won't be endorsing until after the primary, but it is coming more and more clear that we may have some difficulties in the primaries. I want you to assure me, that if your campaign is low in National Polls that you will concede the primary, but continue in Pennsylvania's primary to hold delegates for you to give out during the Convention, I'd also like you to assure me, that you'll try and keep Pennsylvania red for the time being." Henry says, in a semi-serious tone.

“Trust me I assure you I will achieve this. Pennsylvania will be as red as I can possibly make it. I’m working hard Mr President. Now is that all Mr President, no offense but why would you want to talk to a poor little Quaker Governor like me?”

Bradford sat down and pointed to himself “Mr Fraser I’m sure your aware of the Dixiecrats right? Those white nationalists that want to give more power to the states and what to get rid of all the People of color in this nation, this people who would reinforce slavery if they could. Now we may be on different party lines, but let me be the first to tell you, I despise of their views. They are an enemy to the Republic and to this nation. Fraser, we both despise of them. I may be a Democrat, I may have been a supporter of some of FDR’s polices, but oh let me tell you, these southerners put me at a crossroads. No, scratch that, every Democrat is at a crossroads, either choose to either do nothing about the Dixiecrats, openly support them, or change parties. Fraser, even though your visit of America isn’t exactly the same as mine, both of our ideal visions of this nation is nation where the colored and white people in this nation get along, a nation without the fear of a man denying you service because of your color.

"I was elected to this office 2 months ago. I appreciate the duty that the people have New York have entrusted me with. I appreciate the offer, but I know that those that have supported me over the years, would be disappointed if I left the governorship half way through my term to serve as a vice president."

These people need positive change now. If Mr. Roosevelt had not pushed his large and dramatic New Deal forward, we would not have exited the Great Depression in time to win World War II when the Japanese attacked, and we may not have been having this conversation now. Sometimes dramatic change is what's needed. And bipartisan support, led by people high up in both parties, can bring that and stop segregation."
"Anyone who is in politics knows that compromises must be made and no bill will pass in a day. I can assure you, my party supports Civil Rights, Equality, Equity, and the pursuit of happiness just like you, but we are careful because if we make one wrong move while the Dixiecrats have their majority, we will be silenced. I can assure you also, some of Roosevelts reforms caused the Depression to last longer than it should have, (Not-Trumans) advisors knew that, mine know that, and most economists understand that. Anyway, I'm not in the habit of bashing a dead man, so I will only suggest that you work with the Republicans when it comes to Civil Rights. A Bipartisan bill is the only way Civil Rights will be achieved, and that takes time, and work, and I think you should take your time writing a loophole-free bill that can't be killed in Committee or the Supreme Court." Henry said in a more casual tone,

"I have been in politics before, I know the importance of patience, sir. I also know the importance of bipartisanship, and how important it is to work with Republicans on Civil Rights. If I do end up changing my affiliation, which is still a possibility though I have not decided on anything yet, it will likely need to be before my election."
