=Introduction= Governor Garfield? What were we thinking? Just because a cat can talk, all of a sudden we must vote for him? We really should have thought that one through more. And now were are paying for it. All farmers just got a letter in the mail saying that they must give up all of their crops that they worked so hard to grow to replace them with food for the sweeter palate. Time has come for a revolt. Let it start with you.

=Task=


 * You are a member of the Maine Farmer Bureau. Maine has elected a new Governor, Governor Garfield. His first act in office was to put in motion of plowing down all the vegetable crops in Maine and replace them with sugar cane and maple trees. Your land is great for corn, however you don't think you could support the new agricultural products. He has written a letter to all farmers demanding that they plow down their crops and plant either sugar can or maple trees. You are flabbergasted; your neighbor has decided to fight back and wants you to help. Your life's work is dependent on convincing Governor Garfield to change his mind or to convince the public to vote against Garfield's proposition. There will be a meeting with the rest of the Maine Farmer Bureau members and Governor Garfield will be there. You will present your position to everyone who comes. ||
