Re: The Meeting.
"Roberto, thank you for coming. I appreciate it." Julian says.
"I'm sure you're all wondering why I called you here today. Shaw Industries is doing amazing business." he says pushing a pair of manila folders to Roberto and Emma.
"Reports on our little enterprise." Julian says.
"However, the reason we're all here is that I've been doing some thinking about how best to exert the Club's influence in this day and age and the idea of kingmaking came to me.
We're all mutants here. Moreover, we're all /successful/ mutants. We've all got connections in business, entertainment and high-society. Where we could use more influence, to my mind, is in the political area. Half a century ago, it was unthinkable that we could have an African-American President. Right now, it's still a stretch to imagine a /female/ president, though that time is coming.
The next election is just seventeen months away, and I believe it would be a feather in our cap to not only usher in a dearth of mutant congressmen and senators...but a mutant president." Julian says.
"Think of the signal that will send to other countries, to see America moving forward in such a way. Does anyone see why something like this shouldn't be pursued?" Julian asks, looking around the room.
