whoa,

I am now announcing I will not seek a term as Chair. After discussion with GAworth and Flo, we have decided to nominate GAworth for Chair, but in order for that to happen, we must allow for a special election to occur. I hereby introduce the following amendment to the by-laws.

Whoa, First I am flattered but let's get this right. How does this sound.

[GAworth]

I do need a second though.

[GAworth]

Aye, and I accept the nomination for Chair.

[GAworth]

Shouldn't we have a special election for Chair then?

Once the 72 hour voting period ends on this.

Ok

Yeah as this vote is over, then we move to nominations and then a vote. If this passes of course.

[GAworth]

My question is can we? I mean the whole cluster bomb we just had was over whether we could or not?

[GAworth]

Superique didn't leave his party and then delete the post saying that he did.

Yeah, yeah. But the seat is for the vacancy of the man who did do all those things. Superique ain't a Senator, Napoleon was. We are filling Napoleon's seat? I think Superique would be a fantastic Senator, I just don't want to deal with another cluster bomb.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I guess that's up to the federal government, as to whether or not we can appoint them.

Cool, because if we can, then why was there so much heat around Flo. If there was doubt appoint him taking the seat, then won't there be heat around Superique?

[GAworth]

I thought we settled this.  Because there is some question regarding Napoleon's party membership at the time he resigned, the seat will remain vacant.

That's what I was thinking.

[GAworth]

So I hate to be this guy, but, under the by-laws as is, isn't the Vice Chair Position vacant now that PJ is Chair?

[GAworth]

We could do that. I am confused on what we can do to be serious.

[GAworth]

Apologies, I've been rather swamped today. The amendment is adopted. I now call for a vote for Chair. There will be a 48 hour nomination period. GAworth and Superique's nominations will still be considered valid.

I am not sure if this need a second, so in caution and expediency I second.

[GAworth]

My fellow Progressives,
I stand before you to ask for your support as Chair of the Party. I know like many of you I was surprised and sadden to see Siren step aside as our Chair, I hope she will continue to be a strong voice within our Party.  I am standing for chair because I believe we can become a true alternative, a party to be respected, not one that is denigrated. We will have detractors, but you know what I’ve always said, “if the right is yellin’ at you and the left is yellin’ at you, you must be doin’ somethin’ right.”
The job of chair is not glamorous, it involves work and planning.  I promise to hit the ground running. First I will start a review of our by-laws, though only a month or so old, they need work. I will push for a common message for the party, while respecting individual differences. I support the idea of a shadow cabinet, I believe that it should, however, not placed in our by-laws but a free obligation that individuals wish to take up. I will start planning for our convention, so it can run smoothly and efficiently and timely. Furthermore, in the upcoming election I will be asking for the party to go out and campaign for our candidates. No one person can do this alone. I ask for your help.  My door will always be open to feedback and opinions from all of you. Together we can make this party what we all know it can be.
Thank you,
GAworth

I am not having this discussion in Public.

[GAworth]

I am not having this discussion in Public.

What is that supposed to mean?

I am not having a potentially damaging conversation about our party in Public. We have who knows how many Chatzys the party can use. That is what I meant.

We do, but the party as a whole almost never enters, and we are reduced to a small group instead of a discussion involving the whole party.

Alright if we want to have this in the open.
1. Flo, don't use me as your excuse for not running, I did nothing but encourage your run.
2. How many times have we talked about our party being our worst enemy? Countless, but don't worry, it appears we are keeping the tradition going.
3. We were making progress, not much I admit, but we were making progress, but if everyone now doubts the party then call a vote for dissolution. I will be voting no.

[GAworth]

Your fine Lumine.

My computer has a virus that is preventing Chatzys from working on it for some strange reason, so I promise I haven't been ignoring y'all in the chat rooms, I can't log in. If you wanna do a chatzy  let me know and I can borrow another computer to chat, but for a little while.

Thanks,

GAworth
