Tricks hasn't been online since June, and I'm not waiting for him, so I accept the acclamation and certify the election.

I would like to congratulate Peebs on winning the Chairmanship. She will take the party in a good direction, I'm sure.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

At this brave hour in the history of our republic, it is as much a privilege to request the nomination of this assembly for President of Atlasia as it would be an honor to receive it.

In the course of two years' service to the Republic of Atlasia — as regional legislator, senator and president pro tempore, presiding officer of the Constitutional Convention, officer of the cabinet, president, and prime minister — I have diligently and consistently shown my commitment to the ideas and principles upon which the Liberal Justice Party is founded.

An early and outspoken voice for the rights of LGBTQ+ citizens, I defended federal civil rights projections before the Chamber of Delegates when the far-right attempted to repeal those rights last winter. With then-Senator Ted Bessell, I wrote the Bessell-Truman Transgender Rights Act in Fremont — legislation that guarantees equal rights for transgender citizens and that has become a model for civil rights protections around the country.

My tenure as prime minister has seen passage of legislation to double the number of public defenders in Fremont, issue badge cameras to all uniformed police officers, adopt a local living wage, invest in renewable energy and infrastructure, and to promote the cause of working Atlasians by supporting organized labor. This I have done, not by cloak-and-dagger intrigue or party-line votes, but with support from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle — Federalists and Laborites; liberals, moderates, and conservatives — working with men like R. Fayette, R. Pryor, Speaker Yankee, and dozens more to put the welfare of the Atlasian people before party interest.

I have begun this campaign upon three principles: pursuing a proactive and internationalist foreign policy (by addressing threats before they become emergencies, working with our allies to win and keep the peace, and strengthening ties with the rest of the world – as with a Canadian Common Market – to make the game more interesting and promote our interests abroad); building an economy that works for everyone (by passing the local living wage, finally making AtlasRail a reality, and supporting a progressive and pro-growth tax code); and keeping the executive branch active and engaged in the governing process.

I imagine you'll hear promises from other candidates pledging to do all this and more — which is why it's important to remember that, while anyone can say they will speak for all Atlasians, I actually have. I don't need to make excuses for breaking my word, because I didn't break my word. At this hour, on this bank and shoal of time, we need a president who will actually do something to pass sensible, liberal policies in Nyman — my record and my platform show that I am such a candidate.

Thank you.

While it is might seem most unorthodox for me to speak before the Liberal Justice Party, I applaud the fact you include all candidates when it comes to deciding who to endorse, and I think the least I can do is to make an honest case to you in respect of your nomination process and the civic exercise of running for the Presidency.

Ladies and gentlemen, I did not come here to pretend to be something I’m not.

For obvious reasons I cannot declare myself to be a proper supporter of some of the causes you support. Having said that, I am there with you when it comes to the defense of freedom of speech and expression, or the fight against discrimination, or the promotion of policies that conserve, preserve and promote our environment. And if elected President, I will look forward to a spirited, detailed and civil debate on the issues which separate us or cause disagreement as I try to promote the points of view in which I passionately believe in.

I have often complained in the past few days about what I think is a harmful dynamic at the moment in Atlasia: the so called “Nyman consensus” or “echo-chamber consensus”, which has seen our federal parties grow closer on several issues to the point in which debate on many critical issues has been reduced, and activity with it. I believe Atlasia is due for some significant change, and yes, I believe a significant part of that is taking policy into a different direction and closer to the center-right. We will have significant disagreements on that, I’m sure of it. But I hope you may agree with me when I say that it is my belief that we need effective, experienced and active leadership which is combined with a far-reaching vision for our future and the empowerment of this nation and its citizens.

All I can ask of you, members of the LJP, is that you keep an open mind for an independent campaign with a record of activity, effectiveness and sincere concern for this game and this Republic of ours.

that nobody has nominated LLR for president yet.

I don't know if I can nominate more than one person to either office. If I could, I'd have nominated you and PiT as well.
