While it will be a great way to shake things up I as a regionalist can't support this until I have more information on the pros and cons of going to three regions. Lets have a.careful and thoughtful debate rather than running towards a fad that could hurt the game we all love irreparably.

No one is trying to ram this through - in speaking with President Nix, Governor Maxwell (who also supports this), and several others, I think we're all hoping for a very thoughtful and detailed debate on the issue.

I'm surprised Max would support this given his region would be blown to kingdom come .

I think we need less instances of catastrophic regions, and I don't see so much harm in changing the regional system if we do it in a thoughtful way, which I think is in the works. If that means shaking things up in such a manner, so be it.

Thank you for such a robust welcome.

The issue I want to talk about is on the hearts and minds of many Atlasians of all political views. The current regional structure itself. Many in the political class and citizens are supportive of cutting the regions down from five to three. Their main concerns are well intentioned to promote greater activity. Are they not aware of the reforms Spamage and Maxwell are trying to promote within their regions to spur activity along with the IDS and my own Mideast and the ever solid Northeast once led by a friend in former governor Scott?

I agree with you but would go even further in that I vehemently oppose any attempts to reduce the number of Atlasian regions.

Since this is a crucial issue for me I proudly endorse you!

JCL, what are you positions on school vouchers, private schools, and homeschooling?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

JCL, what are you positions on school vouchers, private schools, and homeschooling?

On School Vouchers: I'm for them. When you're running in 25th in academic achievement amongst the first world nations, that is simply below what we should hold ourselves to. The source of that problem is failing schools. We have parents who want the best for their kids yet are often stuck in a bad school system due to bad policy. Look at the Indiana system of doing vouchers. Our scores and standards are steadily improving and parents are being able to choose where their kids go to. Why isn't competition amongst schools for students a good thing. I see it as a very good thing.

On private schools: Again this is a matter that parents rather than government should be the final authority on as much as possible. Often these schools come about because of religious conscience and that should be respected. What is being attempted by elements of the senate to force these schools into being ran like public schools is simply wrong and must be stopped.

Homeschooling: As I said in the private school section parents mostly due to religious consciences make use of this option. Usually the academic standards amongst this goup of Atlasians are the highest along with private schools. Our public schools need to look at the good things they're doing and maybe adopt some of those methods. Why do you think homeschoolers are winning spelling bees like none other?

[Goldwater]

JCL, I have been having a hard time deciding who to give my third preference to, and that answer has convinced me to give it to you.

Just like you vehemently oppose religious freedom for Muslims and gay adoption. Go figure!

Hint: I'm neither running for Senate nor are your fact-checking abilities particularly strong. I also think that some people in your party would prefer it if you posted less.

I would actually prefer it if TNF posted more. He's advocating for the party's core principles and bringing up key differences between candidates. It might not always be pretty, but that's not his style

[Napoleon]

I also think that some people in your party would prefer it if you posted less.

True; which I would hope means you and TNF aren't so different, considering you're more insulting, disgusting and hypocritical than he could ever hope to be.

I would argue that this comment is a tad ironic but since I don't have the intention to derail JCL's thread any further I will not write more.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

TNF,

I don't oppose religious freedom for those who follow the teachings of Mohammed provided that they aren't masking it for an agenda of violence as much as much as I would for anybody else. With regards to gay adoption, do I need to bring up the Rembrandt expression again?

Calling out a politician on his retrograde positions has nothing to do with his retrograde position on game reform? I'm realize you and your party are as reactionary as they come PJ, but c'mon, there's obviously a link here between being a radical social conservative who wants to ban minarets and gay adoption and is opposed to changing the regional structure. Perhaps ZuWo is afraid of losing his power over the Mideast and that region's status as the nation's most reactionary?

Reactionary? Reactionary? REACTIONARY? SERIOUSLY? You simply know that's not true, TNF, FloridianOranges and I have a similar Matrix score to Bernie Sanders. I'm going to leave this arguement now, I wish you all well, I apologize if I offended anyone, and I hope no one kills anybody.

TNF, Look at what I said about religious freedom. It applies to Muslims as well as Christians as long as they aren't using it as a cover to commit acts of violence and terror. I deplore the actions of those who bombed abortion clinics as much as the ones who bomb our embacies and burn churches.

You know my reasoning for the opposition to gay adoption.

On the changing of the regional map I oppose it because partially none of these proposed maps benefit my state of Indiana in terms of representation and merging the Mideast with the Northeast is a bad idea because combining the two most active regions into one I believe will set back giving a hand up and moving forward with the reforms of the Midwest and Pacific regions. Plus I believe this a power grab by the left to destroy the one conservative bastion of the game and I can't sit back and let that happen.

[Maxwell]

I wasn't so decided before, but endorsed for a third preference!

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

As for my format for the foreign policy section I would like to turn it into a Town Hall style meeting. If possible I would like to start fielding questions around 10:45 AM EDT tomorrow. So you may start to ask your questions now.

[Maxwell]

When do you think its appropriate to use force?

[Flake]

Hey JCL, why are you against gay people adopting kids?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

When do you think its appropriate to use force?

Before I give my answer I'm going to give you my story. I'm from a military family. This goes all the way back to the days of Willam Wallace and Robert the Bruce the King of Scotland. It is also traced to the peace churches of the Protestant Reformers like the Pennsylvania Dutch, the Amish and other groups of that nature. So I'm going to try to keep it simple. The use of force will be something I will sparingly use. I'm a firm believer in what Jesus said. "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of God" The Christian Just War doctrine is something I will use as a guide wether or not I will support the use of force.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Townhall bump

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Get you vote on folks. Fellow Federalists its important that we give our first three preferences to the party's candidates. To have a chance of all three winning I'm reccomending this order.

We can't afford to split our votes like the left so lets stand together and create the change we want.
