I mean, he is. That's part of the joke that Cyber and I came up with when we created him. Mostly because I love the Honeymooners.
Edit: And because Art Carney is one of my grandfathers favorite comedians.

That would in all likelihood require everybody to spend an action.

And while that would be quite nice... We have a bit more pressing matters going on that we need to deal with first.

Because while we share goals and ideas like "universal sufferage", "racial equality", "economic fairness" and such, we still have wildly divergent ideas and attitudes about how to go about it, or what the "ideal end-state" even is.

"Well, I've got nothing."
You missed X-ing in the write-in describing the role of the president, as well as the section header for the Revolutionary Army -- the Revolutionary Army plan name, and the action of the Illinois/Indiana State Militia, aren't present because that was a draft that you posted rather than a finished plan.

-[x][UF] Quarter 3 1903 Budget
-[x][UF] Merge the revolutionary governments and standardize them to the southern Revolutionary Government's electoral system.
The hope for the rail reunionization drive is to at worst disrupt Pact and Federal troop movements and concentrations while they repress rail unions and political strikes and at best to take over rail infrastructure particularly where the armies aren't. With the Western Provisional Government running special elections in Washington and Oregon, someone needs to campaign in them and FHM is otherwise occupied growing its action capacity. I expect to be in the minority on the question of when and how to merge the revolutionary governments, but I think it's important that the idea of breaking decisively with, and indeed breaking, the existing state be given expression at this juncture, and the southern Revolutionary Government has so far made the most strides in that direction.
[x][UF] Quarter 3 1903 Budget
(158/112 + 46 SUS funds)
-[x] Send organizers to set up mutual aid networks and soup kitchens in a region.
--[x] Vermont and New Hampshire Cities, 12 funds, -6 per turn
-[x] Donate funds to an organization from the UF finances.
--[x] Southern People's Alliance, 83 funds
--[x] Revolutionary Federation of American Anarchists, 5 funds
-[x] Campaign in a state election
--[x] Ohio, 58 funds
For mutual aid, there are basically two plays: go to hostile areas to get presence, or set them up in friendly territory so they won't be immediately suppressed. I split the difference—New Hampshire's cities, such as they are, are in NERF control, while Vermont's are not. SPA needs more funds than have been otherwise allocated by individual orgs to hit a target of 200 funds available for agitation. For electoral apparatus, of the options we were given Maryland, Mississippi, and Ohio have elections in 1903, but Mississippi's right out due to the state government being both antidemocratic and superseded, having lost most of its territory to the Revolutionary Government. Ohio is out because we already took it in the Q1–Q2 actions. Most of Maryland's territory is also held by the Revolutionary Front. The Oregon and Washington special elections are being held this quarter, in the context of ongoing military operations against the loyalist governments, but the campaign is being handled out of the ACUA budget. Ohio's election, being held next quarter on the usual schedule, gets an amount somewhat greater than its apparatus, with another such amount to be spent next turn.
Any ACUA voters, or indeed UF voters who happen to be voting for an organization with influence on the following governments, are strongly encouraged to vote for any one of the following plans for the Revolutionary Government, the Midwestern and Western Provisional Governments, and the Republic of Hawaii. As you can see (because the tallg machine won't count the vote if it's behind a spoiler tag), I've opted to vote for the Western Provisional Government plan.
Please when voting for a government plan remember to copy and paste the entire text into the plan, and to place "x"s in each set of brackets. DO NOT VOTE FOR THE PLAN NAME ALONE.
Western Provisional Government
[x][PGW] Quarter 3 1903 Agenda
(3/3 free actions)
-[x] Establish a Workers Planning Council built off of the Factory Management Council (which is too integrated into the FHM's internal politics to just transfer into the government) for the west coast and west to centrally manage all industry, allowing for a more effective war economy and elimination of private enterprise from the current mix of what is effectively cooperatives. +1 action, +1 weaponry, +1 equipment
--[x] Write-in: deferring expropriation of the New American Patriots' arms factory while it continues to sell to the Provisional Government and its affiliated states, and while the Winter Security Group continues to adhere to its contracts with United Front organizations, pursuant to Point 4 of the Detroit Agreement.
-[x] Establish a unified command for the army, merging all current militia into it. They gain the benefits of each merged militia, and including bonuses from the Revolutionary Government's army if they standardize this turn.
-[x] Run special elections in Washington and Oregon to replace Republican and Democratic politicians who fled (including the governors) for legitimacy.
-[x][RA] Plan One Hundred Eighty Degrees Pacific
--[x] West Coast: deploy 1 regiment (about 1,380 soldiers per regiment) of state militia, and the Yellow Scarves, to suppress the loyalist Washington and Oregon governments; deploy 1 regiment of state militia to suppress the loyalist Nevada state government in Carson City and from there to offer such support as may seem reasonable to pro-revolutionary uprisings in Nevada; deploy 1 regiment of state militia to secure the railroad bridges at Topock and Yuma, and from there to offer such support as may seem reasonable to pro-revolutionary uprisings in Arizona; train untrained around San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle.
--[x] Colorado/Wyoming: detach 1 mounted battalion (about 448 soldiers per battalion) of state militia to engage and destroy the Montana state militia, attaching such uprisen Montana workers as may be encountered en route; deploy 2 battalions of state militia to fortify the approaches to the Pocatello–Granger rail line north and northeast of Ogden; train untrained around Cheyenne and Denver.
--[x] Montana: fortify existing positions pending rendezvous with friendly forces.
Generally speaking each plan prioritizes laying out the political basis for the new government(s), then getting more actions, then getting each government each other's (but really, the Revolutionary Government's) military advantages.
A word about the Midwestern Provisional Government's political planks in particular. The Provisional Congress is to be as broadly representative as possible under the circumstances, excluding only those legislators who will not break with the loyalist and Pact governments (this is an obvious bright line and a sufficient litmus test). It is to maintain its own supremacy over the executive functions of government, handling those functions by committee rather than divesting them to a singular President or cabinet. We, the UF, were uncomfortable with doing this when it was transferring SUS property to Voight; the direction of the war and the administration of the state is an even weightier matter and given the state of open war there is no reason to beat around the programmatic bush the way there was with respect to the Anti-Trust Act. The Constituent Assembly is to be more representative even than the Provisional Congress, fully implementing the program of universal, equal, and direct adult suffrage and the principles of the Commune.
Every bullet point under the Constituent Assembly plan is a marked distinction from an Article V convention under the bourgeois-planter 1789 constitution. The use of electoral districts rather than states decenters the latter, and federalism, as the basis of the government, and recenters popular sovereignty. Election of delegates by universal, equal, and direct adult suffrage of the people is the exact opposite of elections of delegates by state legislatures only a few of which are themselves elected by universal, equal, and direct adult suffrage. Imperative mandates and recall are reminiscent of delegates to the Continental Congress, but the mandate comes from the delegate's party, and the recall electorate is the district's people rather than the state legislature. The 1788 Convention did not pay its attendees a stipend, and they were thus uniformly existing grandees. The 1788 Convention's proceedings were a strict secret; the Assembly will be regularly publishing its minutes in such a way as to be as widely-disseminated as possible. The 1789 Constitution was ratified by either state legislatures or state ratifying conventions, we bypass this by either ratification by a supermajority of the Assembly itself conceived of as representatives of the people, or by a national referendum. Finally, the Assembly's mandate explicitly refuses to bind it to Article V's limitations on restricting the slave trade (though this is moot as of 95 years ago) and respecting equal suffrage of states in a Senate (another blow against federalism).

Generally speaking each plan prioritizes laying out the political basis for the new government(s), then getting more actions, then getting each government each other's (but really, the Revolutionary Government's) military advantages.
A word about the Midwestern Provisional Government's political planks in particular. The Provisional Congress is to be as broadly representative as possible under the circumstances, excluding only those legislators who will not break with the loyalist and Pact governments (this is an obvious bright line and a sufficient litmus test). It is to maintain its own supremacy over the executive functions of government, handling those functions by committee rather than divesting them to a singular President or cabinet. We, the UF, were uncomfortable with doing this when it was transferring SUS property to Voight; the direction of the war and the administration of the state is an even weightier matter and given the state of open war there is no reason to beat around the programmatic bush the way there was with respect to the Anti-Trust Act. The Constituent Assembly is to be more representative even than the Provisional Congress, fully implementing the program of universal, equal, and direct adult suffrage and the principles of the Commune.
Every bullet point under the Constituent Assembly plan is a marked distinction from an Article V convention under the bourgeois-planter 1789 constitution. The use of electoral districts rather than states decenters the latter, and federalism, as the basis of the government, and recenters popular sovereignty. Election of delegates by universal, equal, and direct adult suffrage of the people is the exact opposite of elections of delegates by state legislatures only a few of which are themselves elected by universal, equal, and direct adult suffrage. Imperative mandates and recall are reminiscent of delegates to the Continental Congress, but the mandate comes from the delegate's party, and the recall electorate is the district's people rather than the state legislature. The 1788 Convention did not pay its attendees a stipend, and they were thus uniformly existing grandees. The 1788 Convention's proceedings were a strict secret; the Assembly will be regularly publishing its minutes in such a way as to be as widely-disseminated as possible. The 1789 Constitution was ratified by either state legislatures or state ratifying conventions, we bypass this by either ratification by a supermajority of the Assembly itself conceived of as representatives of the people, or by a national referendum. Finally, the Assembly's mandate explicitly refuses to bind it to Article V's limitations on restricting the slave trade (though this is moot as of 95 years ago) and respecting equal suffrage of states in a Senate (another blow against federalism).

While I write the update, you may vote for which organization you would like to see grow. You can vote for up to two organizations. This is also a good time to form a new organization, if you wish (max 15 orgs).
This vote does not affect the civil war polities' strengths, it only affects organizations, most of which are factions within the Revolutionary Provisional Government.
[] All-Continental Union Association
[] The Land and Labor Reform Party
[] The Revolutionary Federation of American Anarchists
[] The Forty Acres Movement
[] The Society of Friends of All Faiths
[] American People's Futurist Alliance
[] The Friends of the Huddled Masses
[] The Orange Disciples
[] The New American Patriots
[] The Society for Universal Suffrage
[] The Minutemen
[] Southern People's Alliance
[] Appalachian Brotherhood
[] Amigos del Pueblo (Friends of the People)
[] Committee for Indigenous Advocacy
