Did you run these claims over with Lumine? Because Zell Miller, Milton Friedman and some of these army endorsements directly fly in the face of the game and the law itself.

I'll change those Freidman and The Soliders are all veterans beacuse that's what there title says "Veterans Grassroots Outreach Officers" Veterans don't mean active duty if you didn't know that. And the rest are already secured and speaking of Zell Miller he was the Chief of Staff to the Governor of Georgia at that time I don't think that really is such a high position.
But the Governor of Georgia is a candidate in this game. Zell Miller would obviously back Carter.

Scmitz for President '72
WARNING: I CAN'T FIND ALOT OF PICTURES OF HIM, SO I'LL USE OTHER POLITICANS.


Today, Congressman Scmitz delievered a speech to a crowd of 6,000 in front of the USS Norfolk, talking about his military experience and how he's the only candidate who cares about the military and doesn't want to make it communist like Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter and George Wallace. He also talked about a new bill he introduced on the House Floor this morning.

 "Today, I introduced HR 5246, which beacuse makes the Langague of America, English.(cheers) This bill is needed in the U.S., beacuse the vast majority of Americans use English as their main Langague it will also help immigrants learn English more easily and will make them better citizens in the future. This bill will not damage people's rights to speak different langagues of their choosing but with this, everybody will be able to communicate better. We all hate going to a restaurant and the Mexican waiter says something and you hate it and then you say "God dammit speak, English man or go back to your old country."(cheers)"

He also invited all candidates who support the gold standard to attend a rally that his campaign is putting on in Louisville Kentucky called "The Gold Standard is the Right Choice for America". Congressman Schmitz says that the gold standard will be the only topic discussed. The rally will be held on January 10, 1972

Oops I meant Maddox the governor before him. Then miller was unemployed.

For obvious reasons Friedman, Maddox or Miller and the army endorsers are not granted.

Sorry, I thought you meant to say Gov. Maddox. And as shown by General Singlaub military personnel is not allowed to campaign for a candidate, hence why I'm not allowing it. I would prefer it if further doubts on this were put on the rules thread, this should be gameplay alone.

Congresswoman Chisholm enters Democratic race bringing race and gender to the forefront



January 2, 1972 - New York City, New York

Where does this nation stand just three years into the Nixon Administration? Just two years into this decade?  We are more divided, more separated, than ever before.  In three short years, President Nixon has succeeded in pitting white against black, young against old, north against south, those living in poverty and those enjoying the fruits of success, labor against employer, and American against American.

In this three wasted years we have seen needles conflict and fear sprouting from the highest office in the land.  America does not need divisiveness and fear - America needs unity and hope.  We must have a leader who has an interest in bringing Americans together, and not a vested interest in driving them apart.

We must show that America is a nation where anyone can achieve the fulfillment of their dreams and aspirations.  Including a black woman seeking the Presidency of the United States.

I want a president for all of America; I want a president that understands our youth population when they seek to have their opinions treated with respect and attention; I want a president that knows the plight of people of color fighting for their economic survival because she has lived it herself; I want a president who understands the value and indisputable role of women in the political sphere as equal to a man.

Together we can elect a president that deserves the great honor of representing the American people at home and abroad.  I wish to be that person, and our movement can achieve that together!


Congresswoman Chisholm will file to contest the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire and Florida primaries.

Senator Mike Gravel (D-AK) Announces his Candidacy for President!



January 2nd, 1972
Manchester, New Hampshire


Sen. Mike Gravel made a speech to a crowd in Manchester today, starting his somewhat surprise campaign for the Presidency.

"I grew up in New England. In fact, just across the state line in Massachusetts. The son of French-Canadian immigrants, I learned the importance of work from my dad. I put that to use, as I worked several jobs before entering politics. When I moved to what was then the Alaska territory, I had no money and no job, but was able to become a real estate agent. These experiences have taught me the value of work and money. I enlisted in the military, in the counterintelligence corps, so I understand foreign policy as well.

"I've always stood for rule by the people, for the people. For democracy. Before I was in any office, I campaigned for Alaskan statehood, because the people deserve to be represented. When I was in the state legislature, I help create the state commission for human rights, and a regional high school system for rural Alaskan natives, because the people deserve their rights, and the people deserve education. When I was in the senate, I stood against the needless war in Vietnam, and I put into the record the government's secret actions--omitting parts that would compromise security--because the people deserve to know what their government is doing, and the people deserve peace.

"We need a president who will stand for the people. Who aren't afraid to go against their party, or make their colleagues angry, if it's the right thing to do. The current president has ran an administration on broken promises, and I'm running for president, because the people deserve better."



Gravel For President Campaign Staff

Campaign Manager: Bettye Fahrenkamp
Political Consultant: Joseph Napolitan
Media Strategist: Dick Maynard*
Director of Grassroots Outreach: Murray Mathers*
Director of Fundraising: Jack Greenwich*
Lawyer: Roger Morrison*

*I totally made these people up.

Barnstorming in Concord, NH
Filing for New Hampshire Primary
Setting up New Hampshire HQ

January 3rd
Fundraiser in Boston, MA
Barnstorming in Derry, NH
Barnstorming in Rochester, NH
Barnstorming in Nashua, NH

"Other candidates may talk the talk, but I've walked the walk in Alaska, and in Washington. I've lived the American dream, and remain committed to giving as many Americans as possible that opportunity. I stand for education, healthcare, individual liberty for all, and foreign policy that doesn't go to war unless it's the only option left."

January 4th
Fly to Tallahassee, FL
Filing for Florida Primary
Barnstorming in Tallahassee, FL
Setting up Florida HQ

January 5th
Barnstorming in Jacksonville, FL

"Yes, I've heard what Congressman Schmitz has had to say, and I don't think it's worth responding to. Many young Americans are dying in a needless war, street violence is rampant, many Americans are impoverished, many are without healthcare--I'm sorry, but I won't take time to remark on a candidate who I'm not yet running against, and doesn't even have a realistic shot at winning! My job is to ensure that the government is properly serving the people, not to comment on someone else's incoherent ramblings."

January 6th
Fly to Ceder Rapids, IA
Barnstorming in Cedar Rapids, IA
Setting up Iowa HQ
Barnstorming in Des Moines, IA

"I think that the best way to reduce violence and unrest is to look at the root causes of the problems.

January 7th
Fly to Tuscon, AZ
Barnstorming in Tuscon, AZ
Barnstorming in Mesa, AZ
Setting up Iowa HQ
Townhall in Phoenix, AZ

"Yes, I've heard what Shirley Chisholm has done, and I'm glad! I'm a supporter of equal rights, so to see not only a black person running, but a woman as well, is a positive sight for us all. I think that we deserve a president who will help guide America to becoming a land of opportunity for all people, and I would certainly be that president."

January 8th
Fly to Washington, DC
Congressional duties as United States Senator



Endorsements

Senator Abraham Ribicoff

"Mike is a senator committed to progressive ideals, but also grounded in sensible and responsible governance. He's stood for the people and against Washington's failed policies, so I'll stand with Mike Gravel for President!"

Noam Chomsky

"Senator Gravel is opposed to dictatorship of either the government or of business, and he's opposed to the pointless waste of life in Vietnam. America will be improved greatly with Mike Gravel in the White House."

"The solid doors of Washington remain closed to outsiders. President Nixon only hears the echoes within those walls. He doesn't hear struggling Arizonans, attempting to pay their bills, keep their streets clean, or achieve the American dream, he only hears the voices to continue sending men to die in Vietnam and voices saying to implement programs that will raise inflation. I will be a voice for the American people in Washington, not a voice from Washington on the American people."

I will fight for you by put together a new farm program that will expand wages, reducce waste, and make sure the lowest among you get paid what you deserve. The American people are tired of empty promises. Time for bold solutions."

Right, virtually everyone has posted except Ashbrook (who is on a trip apparently, so I don't count that against him) and Wallace (who is not mandated to post schedules, but I do need his announcement speech now or in one of the next turns).

Turn Two begins in three hours, unless an extension is asked.

Turn Two: Raising Hell on January, Part I:
January 9th to January 15th, 1972


1.- Primary Ballot Deadlines: Candidates have until the end of the turn (January 15th) to file in for the Florida and New Hampshire Primaries. Take notice of the deadlines and plan carefully!

2.- Massachuetts Rad/Lib Caucus: A chance for Democratic Anti-War candidates to make their case, the Rad/Lib caucus is open for candidates to speak during Jan. 15th to win its endorsement. Winning the Rad/Lib Caucus brings a major polling boost in Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire, along with volunteers that can be deployed for a caucus one time and for the Massachusetts Primary.

In the News!

Race Riots in Baton Rouge, LA:
Black Liberation Army attack leaves four dead, seventeen injured

Bloodless Coup in Ghana:
Prime Minister Busie deposed by the National Redemption Council

Primary Polling

Gallup: Republican Primary:

Richard Nixon: 72%
Barry Goldwater Jr: 9%
Howard Morgens: 5%
John Ashbrook: 4%
Undecided: 10%

President Nixon starts in a high position in the polls, and in his announcement he struck at the right notes with a general election public not fully convinced that the President deserves four more years in the White House. But in condemning conservative reaction (save for the Schmitz case) Nixon has opened us his flank, and both Morgens and Goldwater have struck at the President's foreign and economic policy. Whether that means a truly serious challenge, we shall see. In the meantime, hawks wonder: Is there anyone willing to escalate the war?

Gallup: Democratic Primary:

Ed Muskie: 28%
John Lindsay: 17%
Sam Yorty: 9%
George McGovern: 8%
Eugene McCarthy: 7%
Mike Gravel: 6%
Jimmy Carter: 3%
Shirley Chisholm: 3%
Undecided: 19%

With key favourites Hubert Humphrey and Ted Kennedy not running (at least for now), the Democratic field was left wide open for candidates with high name recognition, and with a heavy media presence Muskie and Lindsay shot at the top of the polls. Muskie seems to be the choice of establishment democrats, while Lindsay has successfully rallied many liberal and centrist elements. Left dissapointed by Wallace's refusal to run in the primary, many conservatives have joined the ranks of the Yorty campaign, and if the Mayor can sustain a rise in support he could very well become a serious contender.

On the other side of the contenders, the three main anti-war candidates launched their campaigns to some good reception, showing a good deal of potential. The problem is that they share the same voting base, so by contesting the same primaries and caucuses they might very well damage each other. Ending the list we have Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, who has quickly earned a decent level of support amongst women and minority voters, and Governor Jimmy Carter, who saw a rise in the polls by virtue of being the only actual Southerner in the race.

Random and Player Consecuence Events:

Schmitz denounced by GOP Leaders, Expulsion or Primary Likely:

Despite receiving strong support from John Birch Society members and other prominent far-right figures, Congressman John Schmitz’s bombastic rhetoric has won him the condemnation of many prominent Republicans (including conservatives) over his feud with President Nixon and his extremist views of race. Many have called for Schmitz to be primaries, and there is talk at the Republican National Committee to have him expelled from the party. The few bright spots for Congressman Schmitz from his proposal on English as the national language, which won at least some acceptance on non-hostile conservatives.

Manchester Union Leader blasts Gravel over Washington Papers!

Although he received a rapturous welcome from anti-war voters in his first New Hampshire visits, Senator Mike Gravel has suffered a setback among more moderate voters following a series of harsh attacks by the conservative Manchester Union Leader. Some of the editorials have barely stopped short of charging Gravel with treason over his publishing of the papers on the Congressional Record in 1971, one quoting that “A Gravel victory in New Hampshire could only mean the doom of the Democratic Party at the hands of an unstable and unreliable radical.”

Goldwater finds cold welcome in Iowa:

While Congressman Barry Goldwater Jr. had a strong start in his unlikely challenge to President Nixon, his seemingly pro-peace stance on Vietnam has brought the condemnation of local Iowa GOP officers, who were expecting a conservative challenger to Nixon to take the hawkish stance to end the war. The situation grew worse during a visit to Des Moines, where several groups of voters booed Goldwater Jr. after his stump speeches.

Sure. But of course, 1972 Polling was very unreliable, so don't trust the results as truly accurate, they will give more of a general idea.

Businessman
Running in the First Five States

Voiceover: Howard Morgens is one of the most brilliant businessmen in America. As the leader of Procter & Gamble, Mr. Morgens has quadrupled the value of the company, put thousands of people to work, and put P&G on the map.

Morgens: My name is Howard Morgens and I'm running to be the Republican nominee for President of the United States. I believe we need a businessman in Washington who is going to balance the budget, grow the economy, and provide the leadership we need in troubled times. I hope I'll earn your vote

At The Table
Running in the First Five States

Voiceover: Successful businessman Howard Morgens knows how to get a good deal done. As the leader of the all-American company Procter & Gamble, Morgens has quadrupled the size of the company, in part by being a good negotiator.

Different Voiceover: In achieving detente with the Soviet Union, President Nixon has given away the kitchen sink. Howard Morgens won't let the Reds off so easy.

Morgens: During my time in business, I've learned to push a hard bargain. I'm a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States and I hope to have your support.

A Strong America
Running in the First Five States

Morgens: Hello, I'm Howard Morgens, candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States. In the past ten years, our country has gone through various stages of unrest, pain, and division. At the heart of it all, I think the beliefs that drove many social movements is a belief in broadening the American Dream. I empathize with wanting to expand the American Dream to folks who've never had that kind of hope. However, the way to do that is not radicalism, liberalism, and judicial activism. The radicals, the bad actors, and the demonstrators aren't looking to relieve pain, because you can only find relief through a stronger economy, a strong belief in free enterprise, and a belief in America's greatness. I'm Howard Morgens, Republican candidate for President, and I would appreciate your support.
