Writing Prompt #25
-Breaking News-
Your OC has just been elected as the new President!
Seeing as public opinion is currently in their favor, what is their first action as the leader of the nation?
This election is one of the most important political events of the century. You're not just voting for yourself, your circle, your state, or even your country -you're voting for the entire world. America needs someone who represents the true majority, someone who'll do their job not just as a figure, but a doer. Someone, who'll take responsibility over matters.
The US president is a very influential person. The next to carry that title will have incredible control over a lot of important issues in the coming year alone.
Please, use your heads, use your voices and most importantly, use your votes, 'cause you can & we're counting on you to make a wise decision.
The final installment of my " Boudoir Galactica " fan art portrait series. The concept of this one inspired the entire series. In the scene with Laura (sans wig) and Adama in bed, showed that a disease like cancer does not diminish one's beauty, that being "seasoned" can enhance one's beauty, and I wanted to portray that. This piece features President Laura Roslin portrayed by Mary McDonnell.

The National Space Council
October 5 marks the first meeting of the National Space Council since 1993. But what is it and why does it matter? Let us explain by taking a trip back in history… We’ve teleported back to 1958…President Dwight Eisenhower is in office and the National Aeronautics and Space Council was created with the signing of the Space Act that year. President Eisenhower chaired the first National Aeronautics and Space Council (NASC). That council continued during the Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon Administrations during which we put an American in outer space with John Glenn in 1962 and put humans on the moon starting in 1969. That Council was disbanded in 1973.
In 1989, President George H.W. Bush’s Administration reinstated what was known as the National Space Council, which was designed to help chart national space policy and the roles of multiple federal agencies such as NASA. The Space Council disbanded again in 1993.
On June 30, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order reestablishing the National Space Council – which brings us to today. The current National Space Council will bring a unified national perspective on space policy to the Administration by coordinating the views of the civilian, commercial and national security sectors.
So now that you have a bit of the history…why does this matter?
With the Oct. 5 meeting, titled “Leading the Next Frontier: An Event with the National Space Council,” Vice President Mike Pence will convene this council and have participation from acting NASA Administrator Robert Lightfoot, as well as a number of Trump Administration cabinet members and senior officials, and aerospace industry leaders.
During the council’s first meeting, we will hear from experts who represent various parts of the space industry: Civil Space, Commercial Space and National Security Space.
You can watch the first meeting of the National Space Council starting at 10 a.m. EDT HERE.

I asked her who she voted for in 2004, we were discussing politics and religion and that was the first election I was old enough to participate in. I said, Gore, she said that was the year she stopped believing in anything, but she still went to church just in case. She still voted in every election after that just to be safe because she didn’t want to be blamed when things went wrong, and things always went wrong. And knowing she wasn’t the reason why helped her sleep at night. I asked her how she’s been sleeping lately.
She asked, why do you put so much pressure on me to dream when I’m still stuck between feeling lost and feeling free? Forced to get along with those who arm themselves and dream of harming me. Sold me a house with a lawn and picket fence, but made copies of the key so you can come and go as I sleep at night and my dreams can be policed.
I told her I had been struggling with these dreams of my own, on the verge of packing up and selling everything I owned, but it was still too comfortable to pretend.
She told me I sounded like a politician campaigning for an election I knew I would never win, and American woke up a while ago and wasnt letting anymore new dreams in.
But I was just trying to get her attention…
It's funny how...
Teens these days can probably name more mass/school shootings than presidents. Ha.
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. - Born in 1858, he was an American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, naturalist and reformer who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He organized a cavalry of volunteers, known as the Rough Riders, gained notoriety in the Battle of San Juan Heights. Roosevelt is known for his anti-monopoly stance and his “Square Deal” reform of working conditions for Americans. He was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts that led to an end in the Russo-Japanese war. He is also known for his environmental efforts and for creating the national park service. This 'In the Arena' quote inspires us not to hide, but to be active in today's world.

Attending a DC leadership conference in May!
I will meet US college student leaders, participate in workshops & visit Capitol Hill. One of activity reads, "[Learn about]... advocacy, politics, and policy making from a panel of women who work for senators and representatives on Capitol Hill". Summer of 2013 I attended President Obama's Champions of Change White House event with NCWIT Aspirations in Computing sharing the importance of "project based learning" in schools. I talked with policy makers, company leaders and educators about how project based learning could be implemented and assessed. Additionally, I met Minnesota Senator Al Franken who since has visited FIRST robotics teams in my hometown & supported STEAM heavily. Again I want to have a focused message to share during my DC mission. I may keep the project based learning theme or pick a new one. I would love to hear your thoughts about what message I should share! Who knows who I'll run into!

Who knew that president Furby would predict Donald Trump
what have you left us you disgraceful leaders?
what have you left for us beside destruction?
distortions of our history and a crippled nation,
who made you masters?
who made you our masters when we were born free?
who replaced history?
who changed the title?
who increased our pain?
who divided us?
you are worse than traitorous spies
No more obedience to you after today, no more.

Not sure if AJ was the the worst but absolutely despise him and a lot of the policy changes he brought into our country in a lot of different areas.
Worst US president: Andrew Jackson. Made the policy switch by which the US stopped viewing Native American nations as foreign states to be dealt with diplomatically and started viewing the their land as up for the taking, paving the way for 150+ years of genocide.
Best US president: Abraham Lincoln. Freed the slaves.

Trump rips rebel electors, December 19th the day they vote. 12/15/16
So I got signed up for trumps text and email notifications, and didn't unsubscribe, so I could mess with his surveys and data, and also, some of the messages were kinda funny. And I got this message today.
I dont think I have to tell you that this is absolutely delusional. But if you want to know, here's a few reasons why:
1. He thinks there is peace in the middle east
2. Even if there were total peace there, he thinks he caused it, even as he has done things that have caused the opposite of peace.
3. He thinks he deserves a fuckng Nobel peace prize right now. As 155,000 Americans have died directly because of him, and he pushes for actions that would increase this death toll.
And the "all Patriots who agree" is a blatant manipulation tactic. If this isn't put in the history books as examples of american propaganda, I don't know what will.
