America: Write Your Own History

lurker's comment: Very nice story! That link in your sig is dangerous! At first I'm skimming the first few pages, by the third Adams term I'm hooked, and the next thing I know the Civil War is over! Nice idea with the elections deciding the course of policy, too. I also like the variety of candidates presented; even as a history minor there have been several, such as Gerrit Smith, that I was unfamiliar with or had forgotten.

finally someone else who uses the lurker's comment: thing!

Filled with joy! I hope you stick around for the elections too! You can join the social group too if ye want. And yes, Gerrit Smith was the bee's knees. Too bad he was the one who had to deal with the Civil War, and therefore got a bad image in this timeline.
 
Wow! He's only just become Provisional Governor and he's already broken the 1st and 2nd rights that he swore he would restore.
 
We all agreed to the modified version.

Here's the version we agreed on

Rollins Settlement

Named after interim Illinois Representative David Rollins (Nephew of Logan Whitmeyer, represents the people of Illinois during the current administration at New York)

To strike a possible deal between staunch gun control opponents and pro-control liberals, Rollins drafted the following deal:

Section 1
The ability to possess a firearm be withheld to all meeting any one the following requirements:
1) Being under 24 years of age
2) Has been found guilty of a(ny) crime(s) involving that person's use of a firearm
3) Is a known member of the mafia in any American city, township, borough, or municipality

Subsection 1: "Any crimes", as stated above, does not include crimes convicted of during the administration of William Foster or Earl Browder.


Section 2
Any one person meeting any one of the above requirements may submit an appeal to a special committee of 7 (13 if that county's population exceeds one million people, 19 if above three million) officials in each county, appointed by that state's governor. If the committee finds that that person deserves the use of a firearm and does not break requirements 3, then they are granted a special permit allowing them the use of a handgun for two years. If the committee finds that that person deserves the use of a firearm but breaks either rule 3, then their case is then sent to a state-wide committee of 5. If that committee finds the aforementioned person deserving the use of a firearm, then it is carried to a national committee of 9 appointed by and consisting of Congressmen. If this panel finds the person deserving of a permit, then that individual shall be granted the aforementioned permit. Any committee finding that person not deserving of the use of a firearm shall notify the sender of the appeal.

and Here's RT's version

Section 1
The ability to possess a firearm be withheld to all meeting any one the following requirements:
1) Being under 27 years of age
2) Has been found guilty of a(ny) crime(s) involving that person's use of a firearm
3) Is a known member of the Communist Party
4) Is a known member of the mafia in any American city, township, borough, or municipality
5) Has not been a citizen of the United States of America for at least 7 years.

Subsection 1: "Any crimes", as stated above, does not include crimes convicted of during the administration of William Foster or Earl Browder.


Section 2
Any one person meeting any one of the above requirements may submit an appeal to a special committee of 7 (13 if that county's population exceeds one million people, 19 if above three million) officials in each county, appointed by that state's governor. If the committee finds that that person deserves the use of a firearm and does not break requirements 3 & 4, then they are granted a special permit allowing them the use of a handgun for two years. If the committee finds that that person deserves the use of a firearm but breaks either rule 3 or 4, then their case is then sent to a state-wide committee of 5. If that committee finds the aforementioned person deserving the use of a firearm, then it is carried to a national committee of 9 appointed by and consisting of Congressmen. If this panel finds the person deserving of a permit, then that individual shall be granted the aforementioned permit. Any committee finding that person not deserving of the use of a firearm shall notify the sender of the appeal.
 
I suppose so but I think it's unlikely. Me and RT seem to have a clash of opinions everywhere lately.
 
1945: The Eisenhower Doctrine



The next couple years were followed by both intensive work by the Provisional Government to restore the American democracy, revive the economy, and establish a world friendly and cooperative to America.

General Eisenhower broke down extreme political divisions when he met with General Tojo and Emperor Hirohito of Japan. With the press snapping pictures and twirling around to get the best angle, General Ike and the Japanese politicians seemed cordial and open as they discussed the best course of action for both Japanese America and its relations with the USA. Stepping out of the conference, Ike was pleased to announce the opening of Japanese-American borders. For the first time, citizens who were separated from their family flocked form Japanese-occupied America and ran to hold their loved ones. Trade re-established, and roads that connected the Pacific to the Atlantic re-opened. The General, however, made it clear that the actions done by Greater Japan during World War II would not be unavenged.

As 1945 rolled around, Britain had been making major gains against both India and Germany. Troops arriving from South Africa surprised the nations, and the benefit of quantity and preparation turned the tables. Britain announced full liberation from Nazi forces in early 1945, while the offensive line in India announced the capture of Putra. The victory of Britain and the influence of Churchill led to the capital of the Commonwealth officially moving to London in 1947, with the Royal Family seated again for the first time since the late 1800's before the worker's revolution.

War In Europe Expands



With Rudolph Hess replacing Hitler after his death, Germany began facing real threats. Russia's democracy (once again...) began failing and returning to communism with the help of Joseph Stalin's industrial policies, which damaged relations with the fascist German government. Britain declared victory as they liberated the isles, which made contact with National Socialist Canada difficult and embarrassed the German people. Portugal, temporarily establishing a monarchy to deal with instability problems, marched into Nazi-Occupied Spain following Hess' rise to Fuhrer stating that the time was now right to liberate the Spanish people. The entrance of Portugal into the war dragged a dozen other nations into war with other nations, and soon Africa and Europe were once again neck-and-neck.

National Syndicate Mexico, meanwhile, broke the truce with the newly independent Peru and annexed Ecuador. Mexico was now seen as a problem by Italy, Germany, and Brazil, as Mexican intentions now seemed to be selfish and against Fascist or Latin American interests.

The General's Doctrine



By the end of 1945, Eisenhower had once again met with world leaders; this time, however, it was done in the ruins of Washington. With scaffolding up, laborers running about, and marble and steel being imported, the cite was bustling with enthusiasm and activity as the aura to rebuild America was present. A temporary building was hastily set up to accommodate world leaders and hold a conference.

This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

With an agenda to stop the spread of autocracy, he championed the ideology of democracy, freedom, liberty, and free speech. Although the speech, the food, and the aura was fabulous, this was not enough to convince world leaders to enter the democratic world. After hours of behind-the-scenes dealings and contracts, the Eisenhower Administration managed to make the following nations reduce autocracy or all-together adopt an American system of egalitarian democracy:

•Brazil
•Portugal
•Austria
•Turkey
•Arabia
•France
•Mali
•Congo
•Thailand

The meetings were so successful, that many deemed it the "Second Anti-Comintern", as it unified a great portion of the world together in a time where fascism and communism were dividing the world and annexing them.

Lenin's Ghost

In the winter of 1945, for the second time Russian masons re-erected the statues of Lenin in Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad. Joseph Stalin, after nearly a decade of political maneuvering, had fulfilled his desire to return Russia back to the headquarters of Communism. Condemned by Trotskyists and free nations, Russia is now regarded around the world as the most influential superpower. With his group of democratic nations, General Ike has been meeting and discussing regularly on the best course of action against the USSR.

DKVM, later tomorrow morning I will make a post on the controversial difference of the two settlements.
 
I love how Stalin is pleased at us.

The ole' mustache and we have definitely have had quite a history. He came to the US as a communist political scientist, worked his way up during the Communist Revolution, then left in the early 1930's to go back to Russia and lead it as a sham democracy, and has now successfully made it a communist nation again. I bet he misses Foster. I don't know how he would feel about Browder.

Overall though, I'm not surprised that Russia is still pleased. We've been really nice to them, and we haven't enacted anti-communist policies -against- them yet.
 
He appreciates a good hostile takeover
 
Moai's Letter to the people of the United States, and his last will and testament

Comrades, filthy capitalists, lovers of equines, and proletariat brethren, for decades I have served this great and mighty nation, and now I am ashamed to see how communism has failed here because of one man.

Stalin

He was the bastard that caused Foster to begin autocracy, which then lead to Browder. He is the reason the USA is not a utopia, but a nation standing weakly on stilts. For all my life I have served the revolution, I even lead the capitalists to a victory against Browder, only to be betrayed by the dogs when they banned Trotsky's words with all the other Communists. I am ashamed to have helped such scum of the earth, such vile demons who from the depths of Tartarus came, appearing and acting as if they were better than Browder, when in fact they were worse.

And so, I have decided there is only one course of action

I am currently on a plane flying to Russia, where I will end the life of the Demon Stalin, using the last remaining bomb of the 4th International: A 5 Kiloton Atomic Bomb smuggled from one of Browder's Bunkers during the war, which will leave The heart of Moscow gone. Wish me luck, for I am merely and old man, on a private plane, with a nuclear bomb, on my way to commit, in my opinion, the greatest Kamikaze of all time.

I pass the torch of the Revolution down to my adopted Daughter, Luna. I know that with her talent and oral ability, she will bring about a Utopia on earth. Night is a beautiful thing, and she will bring about a Night which will last forever!

Fellow Compatriots, consider this a goodbye

Sincerely, Montezuma "Moai" Spammer
