Home of the Brave: A 1960s Political RP (86th Congress)

[Madrinpoor]

Juan Matamoros (D) New Mexico

"Okay, thank you. Mr. Broussard, do you plan to establish a sovereign state for them? If so, how and where?"

United States House of Representatives
Representative Hubert Broussard
[Democratic - 3rd District of the State of Louisiana]

"I really like this constructive question, Representative! I commend you for asking it. Long ago, before you or me, there were a number of other proposals for relocating former slaves to somewhere other than Africa. One option discussed was settling them in the new, sparsely-populated Western territories acquired with the Louisiana Purchase, or on the Pacific coast creating a negro reservation, similar to an Indian reservation. Lincoln's plan was to settle them in what is today Panama. As negros themselves said, rather than going to an undeveloped corner of Africa, it would make more sense for them to go to Canada or Mexico, if they were going to go anywhere. Some went to Haiti at the time."

"We would be reforming the American Colonization Society, which formerly founded Liberia. Much of what would turn into the Liberia that we know now was a collection of settlements sponsored by state colonization societies, with Mississippi in Africa, Kentucky in Africa, the Republic of Maryland, and several others. The most developed of these, the Republic of Maryland, had its own constitution in fact. These separate colonies were eventually united into Liberia."

"The issue back in the olden days in the 1800s was that Liberia was undeveloped, and a land of savages, much too uncivilized for even the dumbest negro. What we are proposing now, is that since Liberia is more educated, more civilized, and more welcoming to the American negro, I can say with almost full certainty that the small critics of the ACS back in the 1800s, would take back any criticisms of the group nowadays. With how much we've researched and planned the new proposal. Especially since Liberia has the attraction of Modern Day Mexico." Broussard stifled a chuckle.

"How much of a role will the US play in all of this?"

Broussard replies,

I thought you were an ally. A friend. A person who I could work with, who wouldn't try to trick me into supporting something that I do not stand for, that my state doesn't stand for. I trusted you, and you betrayed me. I felt as though you were understanding of me, and my values, while not agreeing with them. You obviously do not, and that really upsets me. I was deceived and led into a false sense of friendship and understanding. I wish you the best of luck, but I cannot support your bill, and I will do my damndest to kill it. You are a traitor, a deceiver, and I mistook you for a member of the understanding few, but you're really just a Yankee traitor.

Well, I did tell you the name of the act that should give you a general idea of what the bill will be about. You know my principles you know what I stand for, I don't see this bill as nesscarily unpredictable, but if you can't support my bills why would I support your's? This is a political trade off Hubert, you support one of my bills, I support two of your's. But I guess you can't go through, I had plans and a speech prepared to try to persuade my northern colleagues, but I guess those plans will go to waste. I wish you luck on your bills, and I hope to with you again in the future, but I guess I'm voting against both of them.

You mislead me, that is why i won't support yours. I told you in our phone call, that I wanted to see the bill, and I'd give you my thoughts, now you're saying that either I bow down to you and your bill, or I lose your support?

Douglas gives a reply

I think Governor Fraser's concerns need to be addressed, and why not give the money to each of the American Colonization Societies direct, if we're going to get the money to each of the states to give the money to societies anyway?

Governor Fraser sends a political liaison to D.C. to track congressional proceedings.

Why not ask all of these questions since there is literally a time to do so. RIGHT NOW. I support every bill that comes into this chamber and if it doesn't fit my standards then I will amend it.

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.

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.

Douglas slightly confused sends a reply.

Are you saying you'll my bill, if I support your's?

Broussard hides a laugh,

Something like that

Douglas thinks long and hard before responding, his constituents didn't support the two bills, but he wanted to work with his adversaries, or at least who he saw as his adversaries. He thinks it over before responding.

I think I can support the Negro Relocation Act, if you support the Workplace and College Inclusion Act, but I don't think I can support the Phyletic Perception Act, it just favors too obviously, The Caucasian Interest Group Task Force is not a good name, and can't the police figure out who was "truly guilty"

Official Name: Federal Relief Ensuring Entrepreneurialism Act

Nickname: FREE Act

Overview: This legislation is intended to, while decreasing bureaucracy, 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 minimum wages 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.

Section 2: Establishes a Federal Minimum Income Program, paying all citizens either employed or in education for the purpose of future employment, with an income below the poverty line or sufficiently close to the poverty line, payments to bring them above it, with a gradual phase out intended to preserve the pursuance of higher incomes.

Section 3: Replaces and absorbs the funding of existing welfare programs into the expenditure of the Federal Minimum Income Program, while phasing out the federally mandated minimum wage gradually over the course of the first year of the implementation of the Federal Minimum Income Program.

(a) After the first year of implementation, state and local level minimum wages are prohibited.

(b) Converts existing federal unemployment insurance expenditures into funds for an Employment Education System tasked with providing education to unemployed individuals for the purpose of gainful employment.
