Build Panama Canal It has been known for decades that a canal across the isthmus of Panama would be vital to US interests, including for trade, military, and diplomacy. Shipping times would speed up tremendously as ships would not have to skirt around South America. Our naval vessels would be able to better defend both shores as well. We would also be able to control all shipping from the isthmus. The French made attempts at building a canal first, but failed after over 20 years. We have an opportunity to take over the French lease from the local government. Pres Pattison chooses between: A) Finally ready! Build the canal; or B) Waste of Money; Cancel the canal!

General Events Major Civil Rights Protests As is often the case, an upswing of racial violence and racist rhetoric brings bolder Civil Rights protest. Quality of life -1 Senator or Rep on Committee Garners Attention We're certainly glad Rep Lafe Pence is representing us in committee. Pence could be posturing for a run for higher office. Maybe we should take advantage of this? Tariff Dem CO Rep Lafe Pence gains +1 for an election at the next election. Outdated Weapons and Tactics President, we even found a stockpile of weapons from 100 years ago. Rolled 1, so Mil Prep -2 Cabinet Member Garners Attention Its not common for a cabinet officer to gain the spotlight in the media.

Random Early Retirement We've been able to confirm reports that Sen James P Pigott wants to step down from politics. We would have liked a little more warning. Free Trade Dem CT Sen James P Pigott abruptly retires. CT Gov Charles A Templeton appoints Charles A Russell (Dem to Whip flip). Among the People Our supporters are really taking a liking to Luke Lea II. Our faction might want to put his likability to some good use. Let's see if it translates to votes. Tariff Dem Luke Lea II gains Likable Have a Beer with Me It appears Carroll T Bond has been spending a lot of time in taverns and sporting events to get in touch with white undereducated voters. Bond has been adopting their lingo, more and more, as well as their ideals and prejudices. Bond is making a concerted effort to appeal to nostalgia, populism, and an idealized tradition. Trad Dem Carroll T Bond gains Lowbrow/Everyman.
