President of the Republic John F. Kennedy gives innaguration speach.

[California Republic]

President John F. Kennedy, a Democrat was elected in the 1977 election to Replace the Republican President Ronald Reagan, who had finished his first 4 year term as President of the Republic. Kennedy is the youngest person to be elected to the office in the History of the Republic, at the age of 43 and to take office at 44. He served in the Pacific War as a Naval Officer on board the California Republic Cruiser Golden Gate Bridge, and had been the acting commander of the ship at the time the ship was lost to enemy action, a role he had assumed at the death of the Captain. He received a commission from the San Francisco Naval Academy in 1954, and held a masters degree from Stanford University. For his actions in the war, he received the Congressional Medal of Honor. He ran on a platform opposed to former President Reagan, a Republican, Who had himself defeated Kennedy in the 1973 election in the Democratic Primaries, before Reagans unprecedented change of Party to Republican while President after the 1975 Midterms. President Reagan had engaged in significant cuts to spending, and more significant cuts to taxation, the Republics performance in the science's, education, and healthcare outcomes dropped significantly, Reagan Also took a consolatory approach towards threats to Democracy, where as Kennedy's chief campaign policy was to throw out Reagans Reforms and completely pivot Californian Foreign Policy, not just to the last President, but in an entirely new direction. Reagans Vice President is a long term senator from and governor of the Republic of Hawaii, who himself served in the Pacific War, and is the first VP of Asian decent in the history of the Republic.

Kennedy after taking the oath of office, with one hand raised high, and the other atop the Constitution of the Republic, delivers a speech. "Vice President Inouye, Mr Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, Secretary Bush, General Bradly, fellow citizens. We Observe today, not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom, For I have sworn between you and almighty God, the same solemn oath, our forebears prescribed, nearly a century and a half ago. The World is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands, the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life. and yet the same revolutionary beliefs, for which our forbears fought, are still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of god. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that revolution, let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Californians, Born in this century, Tempered by War, Disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to whiteness or permit, the slow undoing of those rights, to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know weather it whishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, opposes any foe, to assure the survival, and success of liberty"


"This much we pledge and more, to those old allies who's cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures, divided there is little we can do. To those new Republics we welcome to the brotherhood of free nations, we pledge our word that we will stand beside you in the defence of Liberty. And to all sister Republics who have seen the light of liberty, long standing friends of California to those whom we have had our disagreements, Together let us explore the stares, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce, lets both sides to heed in all the corners of the earth, the command of Isiah to undue the bourdons, and let the oppressed go free. We have among ourselves the capacity to create a new world order, one ruled not by the law of the jungle, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved. Not all of this will happen in the first 100 days, nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this administration, nor even perhaps on our lifetimes on this planet, but let us begin."


"Finally we must look at freedom within our Republic. This nation was founded by men of many nations and many backgrounds, it was founded on the idea that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every many are diminished when the rights of one many are threatened, today we are committed in a worldwide struggle to promote and protect the rights of all who wish to be free, and when Americans are sent to Australia, or Japan, we do not ask for whites only, it ought to be possible therefore that Californians of any race, be allowed to attend any public institution, they select, it ought to be possible for American consumers of any color to receive equal service and accommodation, and it ought to be possible for Citizens of any color to register or vote in a free election, without fear of repeasial. In short, it ought to be possible for every Californian to be treated equal regardless of their race or color, to be treated how one would expect themselves to treated. Therefore I would like to take this opportunity to ask the Congress of the Republic to start dialogue on a new piece of legislation to guarantee legal protections for equal civil protections and privileges be extended to all Californias.
