I agree wholeheartedly with my opponent on the matters of a Chicago commemoration, and even more so on the reduction of our army. However, more than that, we must transition our nation from this military-industrial complex we have created, and into a system more oriented towards industry and commerce, to further spur our economic growth, and promote worldwide trade and commercial relations.
Most importantly, and I cannot stress this enough, we must sever the ties that forced us into this war, and needlessly slaughtered tens of thousands of our kinsmen; our binding alliance with France, this foolish Commonwealth, and the presidency of Mr. Terrance, for without him, America may have been able to avert this conflict! Do we want the man who led our sons into slaughter to continue on his course of statism and militarism? Or do we want to change our course, to freedom and peace? America must choose now, for we have all seen the results of the former course; poverty, suffering, death, and worst of all, the surrender of our social and economic freedoms! The latter course, however, has been proven, by the likes of Jefferson, Washington, and Mandrake; and what did we see? Growth, prosperity, an expanding middle class, and a peaceful environment to facilitate more growth!
A vote for Jarvis, or for Carlsson, or for Taggarman, will see us make a return to NORMALCY, to PEACE, to PROSPERITY, while a vote for Terrance will see more of the same!
You say you want to disassemble the military-industrial complex, and yet you voted against the Transition to Peace Act which sought to do just that. You say you're for stopping the deaths of our young men and yet you seek to revoke our system of healthcare, safety standards and the welfare net that saves so many lives in peacetime. You say my administration brings poverty, yet it has brought relief for millions in poverty who need it most. You say we'd have been able to avert this conflict, but at what cost? Yes the war has been a great tragedy and yes it cost many lives, but the alternative would have brought much greater suffering. We as a nation have been forced into the position where we had to choose between a generation suffering the blight of total war to ensure future peace and international co-operation, achieved through a fair treaty and the establishment of a League of Nations, or a bleak, dark and protracted future of misery and totalitarianism. The war is now over, and I shall bring peace, prosperity and maintain the benefits of the welfare state that I, and other great figures of American history; Harrison, Vallejo, Cameron, created. I promised our soldiers that they would have a greater country to return home to, one where they needn't fear sickness, unemployment, homelessness, illiteracy for their children, or other squalors, and I have, and shall in future deliver.
