(( Going by the consensus of Federales so far, it's gonna be orange and silver and a buffalo. ))

((I'm more in favor for just Grey and a bear deffinately, but perhaps not a Grizzly. Too western for the portions of the Federalists that are not in the west, i.e. Roderick and S. L. Davis. Maybe a Black bear, seeing as at this point they were found all across the nation, just like the Federalists. And don't you think orange would contrast with the silver too much, it would look rather ugly imho.
And for the Democrats, they've used Blue throughout the entire game so far, as both the Democrats and New Democrats, so why would they change? Only addming my 2 cents in because for most of the game I was 1 of the chief Democrats, as 2 characters.))

Two feds for a buffalo, two feds (or at least a fed related independent depending on just which affiliation Projekt's party is) for a bear.
I guess i am the deciding vote. Buffalo it is.
Orange and Silver is also the leading color choice.

(( I could use some pictures of Glynn and Khur [and other potential VP picks for the Federals] for a campaign poster [preemptively getting pictures to make things easier on me]. I might get to the other parties [or another poster maker might] too - so pictures for those candidates would be nice too. I only have a rough Federal poster in preparation at the time being, though. ))
((I had a pic for Roderick when I first I introduced him, but it's quite a ways back. Once I find it I'll repost it.))
((That association is actually incredibly recent in terms of the histories of the ideologies in America.))
((The Democratic Party have ceased to be the party of southern politics since the civil war and ceased to be the conservative party since Callahan (Who could at the cruellest be called a social liberal). Disregarding modern deviations, largely due to long-held branding and adversarial politics; blue is conservative, red is socialist, black is anarchist, green/brown is nationalist, white is reactionary/monarchist and yellow is liberal.
By the way Repulicans, wouldn't purple be a better colour for association with senatorial Rome? People might think you were trying to evoke the legions otherwise. Just to sound out some opinions of self-professing Democrats; which would be better: a buck or a beaver?))
We need to take on the Saloons
The saloons are the true opium of the working class. Too many working men take their hard earned money directly to the saloons and waste it on whiskey, beer and cards, instead of using it to support wife and children. More often they come home drunkard and hit their spouse in their drunken fury. Then they are all sick and tired from a night out in sin, that they can't even drag themselves to church to experience the salvation of our Lord Jesus. The Saloons are a threat to our American society, a way for the rich to keep the Working Man down. We need to fight the Saloons, we need prohibition.

"In response to Congressman Nightmore's speech, I feel he is out of touch with the working class. The working man's life are filled with dull repetitiveness - they work perhaps ten hours a day to feed their families, then go home and eat food some of the poorest food there is, despite the massive effort of their wives to improve it. Then they go to sleep, usually in the same room the rest of the family sleeps in, often on the floor. The saloons are their only release, and to take that away from them would remove all the fun in their lives."

I am adamantly against prohibition, Liquor is far too easily manufactured to contraband, as well as an efficient means of converting excess grain to a commodity. Nor do i find moral arguments to be of any merit when they are dealing with the symptom rather than the disease. Moral decay can be blamed squarely on the long hold of superstition and ignorance over the common man.
((Good point Komisha; I would have no problem with Red, Purple, or Yellow. Let's what the other Republicans think of those colours. I guess no-one opposes the Eagle as the party symbol?))
I wish to make it known that I oppose any form of prohibition. The individual, not the State, or states, should decide what he eats, drinks, or where he works or lives. Should such a bill pass, I will fight it, and will fight its implementation through the California Supreme Court.
Remember, Mr. Nightmore, that Jesus himself drank wine, and people have for millennia. A great many of our Founders drank wine and beer, and I, being Catholic, take communion. I do not believe that the government should have any say in what can or can't do, as long as they aren't murdering people, raping or pillaging.
I also agree with the points made by former president Callahan, and Senator Walsh. Not only is it a foolish, unenforceable law, it serves a relaxer for the people. They work hard and should be able to enjoy themselves. To take that away, their only comfort, would be to take their job.

I give my support and financial backing to Callahan.
He has proven that he can lead America. Furthermore, his support of the Alcohol industry is well recived within Howard Industries.
We would however like to see an increase in tariffs, coupled with a reduction in industry tax.

((This is Roderick when I first made him at the age of 31:
He is now 42. I'm not sure how fast 11 years would age someone, but if you'd rather try an older picture, I've got Ludovic Trarieux covered:
I'm not a fan of using the French, but I've got to work with what Google will give me

Here I hear the voices of big business. Alcohol is their perfect weapon against the working classes. A Satanic poison. No longer will the workers fight for their rights, but rather spend their evening in the saloons, while wife and children starve. Too many cases of families suffering because the provider spend all his salary on whiskey and cards. Too many cases of good men giving it all to the bottle and beating spouse and children. We need to stop this. We need prohibition.
We need freedom of choice, not government regulation and control. I agree that alcohol, taken in excess, is bad, a blight on society, but I believe more firmly that government has no right to intervene in an ultimately personal matter.
As well, I highly doubt the effectiveness of prohibition. I fear that such a measure, while not only intrusive, would create more crime and would only result in a growing distaste for government. These outlaws will gain power and prestige, will corrupt the government with their ill-gotten wealth, and will only worsen the problem.

I should make it known that this is my position as Republican presidential candidate as well. Thank you, Mr. Jarvis, for such an excellent synopsis.
