Quoted By:
Your name is Craig Theodore Cramblin and, for as long as you can remember in your adult life, you’ve sold exotic fish (and insects depending on who you are). You don’t remember what caused you to get into this odd business, but it’s what you do and have been doing for decades. The people of Whispering Oaks see you as…well, they certainly can’t forget you any time soon. You stick out like a sore thumb in an otherwise generic southern town. Despite the peculiar business which you run, you managed to stay afloat these years simply due to the spectacle of what you’re offering.
You are a card carrying member of the Libertarian Party. From the moment you were able to, you’ve been voting LP every single time, with few exceptions. They’re the only party not run by a cabal of satanic pedophiles, after all. This cabal runs deep. It’s not just in the White House or even just in the federal government…now it’s slithered its way into your very own town! You’re the only one who can defeat this evil, but there’s just one problem…
You’re the only libertarian in Whispering Oaks. No, literally. Everyone else is registered as either a Democrat, Republican or an Independent. You checked. Multiple times. They don’t even notice the heavy weight of oppression that city hall has put on their shoulders. Your job—your mission—is to make them notice that weight and rally them to do something about it.
The woman who’s standing in your way? Katherine Hubbard. Mayor of Whispering Oaks. Four years ago, she won a third term unopposed, being nominated by both the city’s Democratic and Republican parties, and now she intends on doing it again. If this isn’t a clear as day example of the duopoly’s sham, then you don’t know what is. The local newspapers don’t even cover the upcoming election because they believe there’s nothing to discuss. And why would they? Under her leadership, Whispering Oaks has grown immensely, not just artificially but in terms of happiness, safety and overall quality of life as well with little signs of that stopping. Most citizens don’t realize the cost of this growth, but you do. Your very freedoms are at stake if she wins another term. The cabal will fully close their grip around the town if that happens.
You’re going to run for mayor. You know it. Hell, you’ve got the paperwork signed at home just waiting to be submitted. The question now is how quickly you’ll get started. It should be noted that the first thing you’d need to do is collect 50 signatures to even get on the ballot, because otherwise your campaign is DOA.
