You are right, sorry. That’s what I get for posting without checking the game board.

Play 2 coalition building, 30 votes no

This completely influenced my decision to even back this issue. If there was no risk of civil war I would have done otherwise.

I’m fine with a “do over”.

Me too, sorry for confusion.

Change must come. Moderation must prevail over terror and fire-eating. Stopping this bill is the first step towards national comity after the crimes of the murdering fanatic Brown. But I’ll not overturn the will of the voters’ representatives.

Ignore

Next issue, @CF_Kane

Next up is Iowa. Difficulty 2 for Secretary of State and Congress. +1 popularity if admitted.

William Rufus King accepts the issue, and his radiant young wife hosts an elegant and yet raucous and rowdy reception at the White House.

Many luminaries are invited who speak of Iowa’s wondrous potential benefits to the nation. Corn and corn liquor, celebrity Kiowa Tribal Chiefs, and feasts of Corn-fed Beef regale the partygoers. President King and beloved bon-vivant, all around man’s man and hearty pal, James Buchanan (@Cuthbert), are there wearing farmer’s overalls that match. Former President Dallas was seen trying a particularly potent batch of “corn whiskey” and was spotted singing “Iowa Stubborn” to an amused crowd, while he sported a pair of gen-ew-ine Prairie Rattlesnake Boots.

Delegate to Vice President Fillmore (@Ironsight).

Fillmore accepts and appoints George B. McClellan as Secretary of State.

George McClllan will spend an IP to send the issue to congress

Vote starts with @Brooski

Vote no with 15

@Cuthbert

Still playing the cards, no with 30

@Panzeh

The Fillmore-Pierce factions spends 2 IP for 6 votes and adds that to it’s total of 10 for 16 Yes votes.

Current vote is 45 No - 26 Yes. @Navaronegun

The King-Bentonians Vote Yea with 8 Votes, and 1 Faction IP is Spent (+3 Votes)

Former President Dallas does some favor calling-in, back-slapping and arm-twisting (Play Coalition Building, +3 Votes).

President King spends 2 IP (+6 Votes).

20 Votes.

Measure passes 46-45!

Another celebratory feast is held at the White House! Next issue, @CF_Kane

Msr. Gallatin’s attempt to spare future Presidential candidates the need to pretend to love deep fried corn dogs fails.

You’re French! You gotta love em with them fried potatoes you people like! Quit being a stick in the mud!

Next up is the admission of Oregon. Difficulty 2 issue for State and Congress. +1 popularity if resolved. @Navaronegun, care to do the honors?
