Well, that was underwhelming.

[Wisconsin+17]

Alright, hold on. How do we get this damn thing working again.

Ok. Questions first. Get them out of the way.

Why have I returned? Well it should be quite obvious. There is much work that needs to be done to fix Atlasia. And yes, the system of atlasia is quite broken. We no longer have a true populist representative of the people and I intend to be just that, their true representative. The people need a man they can trust and I believe I can be just that.

Why am I rejoining as a member of PUP? Because of my good friend DFW. We had a chance to talk and with him and with our beloved Pope Francis it's become increasingly clear that I've been on the wrong side of history. We have an obligation to love our brothers and sisters unconditionally. I believe that as a member of PUP that we can get some good things done.

Together we can exorcise the most pernicious spectre haunting atlasia, the capitalist corruption! We must free the people, free the workers from their eternal chains.

And on what better day to do it than today!

Let us join together and smash the reactionary forces!

Comrade Ben, I will be glad to join your struggle in the glorious revolutionary cause to defeat the ruling elitist Fascist Party once and for all as part of Labor!

Heartily endorsing Yankee/DFW for the presidency. Can't think of a more qualified ticket.

[Wisconsin+17]

I suppose you all are wondering why I've brought you here today, to this graveyard here in Vicksburg. I also suppose many of you will want to make the joke about being in a literal political graveyard.

But I've called you here for a very specific reason.

There was an incident, about a year ago now that concerned me greatly. There was an attempt to tear down the statue of St. Joan in Louisiana. Apparently the mob believed that she was a Confederate general, and that, as black people, that gave them the justification of tearing this statue down. Presumably they made that connection because the image was of white marble.

This concerned me for two reasons. One, that they had so little understanding of their own history. Two, that they believed they were justified in tearing this statue down.

Have we really declined so much as a society that not only can we not understand why we are here, but we must destroy anything that we don't understand? This isn't an isolated incident either. It has been prompted with the removal of other statues, and even disinterring graveyards like the one we stand before here.

Some would say that it is good that they are tearing down the racist monuments to the past and that the sooner the better. What they don't understand is that the mob does not make those fine distinctions. They aren't going to stop there. They are going to tear down Lincoln just as quickly as St. Joan because in their eyes all that matters is that the statue is of someone *white*. They don't care if they are dressed in the blues or greys.

It also represents a greater movement than just statues. They represent a broad movement to remove all the history, not just the parts that someone doesn't much like. The problem is that there's always the difficult bits of history that someone would vastly prefer did not exist. The core is that we must preserve what we have, regardless of how it makes us feel.

These men here fought and died for their country, for their families, for their land. They chose to accept these burdens and to do their duty. As Lee himself stated, we cannot do more.

Why return? I could think of no better reason than this. Southern culture is still under attack as much as always by those who do not and do not care to understand. I have been blessed to have many opportunties to serve the people of the South and I would be honored to do so again.

I look forward to seeing all of you on the campaign trail. It is good to see so many old friends, though there are many I miss.

Godspeed!

Disappointed and surprised you didn't write-in Peebs/Tmth, we were hoping for your vote!!

[Wisconsin+17]

I considered it.

[Wisconsin+17]

Simmer down, one at a time, boys and girls. Thank you.

Thank you all for coming out here on this fine day.

There seems to be *just* a little bit of confusion here. I've been getting a couple of letters. I'll start with Edna from Lubbock Texas. Lovely town I must say.

"Are you really running again? We haven't seen much of you this past while."

Yes, Edna. I'm running and yes, I'm back. And yes, you're going to get the full experience just as you had last year from me.

I've served over a year in the Chamber of Delegates. Never missed a vote and I've had a very long record of both writing and passing legislation. I have a lot of things that I want to get done while I'm there and I'd like to get started as soon as possible.

First off I want to see what we can do about lowering some of our business taxes. The South should be the best place to do business in Atlasia, and we're losing some of our advantages. We spent many years catching up and we're not there yet. It's not the time to slack off. Do you really want people to go to Lincoln? or Fremont? *shudders*. Yes, I thought so.

Anyways, you have my word that I will serve as you are quite used to me serving. I'm back and I intend to stay.

Godspeed all of you!
