Outstanding work! Now all you need to do is stand up for your country, Mr Cameron!
Mr de Jong, one correction. It is libel, not slander, although I refuse to sue because I'd lose a damned good read if I did.
EDIT: ((What is the daily balance, BBB?))

I don't have the exact number with me, but hovering around 100 US Dollars (lower than the normal 300-400 US Dollars due to the war expenses).
(( To go into a bit more detail than the other summary:
Ezekial Brass of the New York Sentinel passed away. His son, Jeremiah Brass, ran for the Whig primary on a "true Whig" platform.
Archibald Cartwright entered the Democratic primary. Walsh - I don't remember if he followed Cartwright, or announced his candidacy before him.
Harper's Weekly began circulating across America, with an inflammatory pro-SNP slant. The Liberator soon followed, with an abolitionist slant. (see first post for links to specific articles)
Jeremiah Brass gave his campaign policy in an editorial.
See the next two posts for the Cameron administration rebuttal (delivered by my own character Daniel Gallatin) and Brass' "river of blood" speech continuing in the general theme.
This lead to the primary election. Jeremiah Brass challenged incumbent president John F. Cameron for the Whig nomination, at one point tying with him for votes - which was a good show for a liberal Whig pacifist in this political climate.
Archibald Cartwright gained all the few votes in the Democratic primary.
The SNP, as before, had coalesced their party ticket before the primary.
Archibald Cartwright then proposed the Freedom Act.
Amendments were proposed, but gained little support (and a lot of hostility). The original Bill, however, was fairly well supported across the different parties.
Harper's Weekly calmly and unbiasedly informed us on what would happen should we vote Eldud Walsh.
From Alta California, Secretary of State Daniel Gallatin wrote a speech "Why We Fight" to the American people, explaining the Cameron administration's reasonings in the war with Mexico.
President Cameron spoke to the people, declaring some more grand policies he wished to pursue from his bully pulpit.
Congress nearly witnessed an assault as tensions rose in the continuing hotly contested Whig primary.

Oh, I see, my mistake. I'm a businesman, not a lawyer, and I've never paid much attention to legal shenanigans. I also enjoy reading it; if you don't take it seriously it really makes you laugh a bit!
Yeah. the only thing I was annoyed at was it completely ruined the debate we were having over the amendment.
Indeed, too bad the amendment didn't get much suport. I had already looked into freedom of wombs as a progressive solution to slavery before you included it in #4; actually with that one you bought my vote. Better luck next time
Eighty minutes left for anyone who wants to stick their oar in and slam the last nail in my coffin.
I'm not sure if I missed this in an update but have Washington and Oregon been colonized? British and perhaps Russian land on our Westernmost borders provides a danger which my militia and that of Northern Idaho's meager militia's cannot deal with. We are already feeling the effects of British influence in the western parts of my state.
President: Cartwright
President: Cartwright
Washington and Oregon are internationally recognized US territory, as are Colorado and Idaho. Relations with the British are great, so no worries there. Oklahoma will be recognized any day now.
Anyway, if the Democrats and Whigs could sort out their tickets once and for all in the next forty minutes, I'd be real happy. Otherwise, I'll go on the assumption that the tickets will be:
Cameron-McAttack (or Brass, if the Current Vice President wishes to retire)
Cartwright-Walsh

That first ticket can never happen, Mr. McAttack is still a Democrat as far as I know, so he will never run as a Whig VP even though he did on the Union ticket. The parties are too much apart for this to happen twice in a row!
I have therefore sent an invitation to Mr. McAttack to run as my VP, which is a token of his service and his own Presidential campaign(s) where he took me on as running mate.
Perhaps, but maybe Mr. McAttack's views are to the administration with which he has worked, not some arbitrary party.
Who knows? Only the Vice President and God.
PS. Polls are closed.
Misters Cameron, Cartwright and Khur, send me your policies.
Frymonmon, time to start making tickets. If you don't have a pre-existing picture of the candidate, ask them for one.

My clerks are running to find Mr. Walsh for a short meeting, I hope we can have our policies set up soon.
((The posters will be all done tomorrow. I have one done, and I do not want to release until I have them all together.))
