2016 Election Game - Game Thread

"I am hereby announcing my candidacy for President of the United States. While the current administration has been successful in restoring our economy and world image, there are great strides of progress to be made. In the past few years under my term as lieutenant governor and then as governor after Governor Brown stepped down, we have made great strides here in California.

Our budgets are balanced and reporting a surplus, we have the highest green job creation rate in the country, and while many states continue to take money out of education, we are now beginning to put it back in. I am running for President to bring the many successes we have had in California to the rest of our great nation.

For too long have we ignored the growing education problem: tuition continues to increase and the prospects for our students' futures seems to decrease. Just as we stopped the bleeding for the UC and CSU systems and made more grants available to lower and middle class students, we can do it on a national level. We will create an educated generation that will produce technological breakthroughs beyond our wildest dreams, and out compete all of our economic rivals.

Our great nation still is in the midst of another civil rights movement: the one for gay and lesbian equality. The Defense of Marriage Act still stands in the books of Congress. It must go, it is unfair and wrong!

I have decided to run for president to fix these underrepresented issues. We need strong leadership to move these issues forward in this time of relative peace and growing economic prosperity. Together, we can make it happen.

Thank you for coming, now let's get to work!"
