October Democratic Alliance National Convention: Welcome to Bradford PA

[Senator Spark]

Statement by Federalist presidential candidate Spark
On the floor of the Democratic Alliance national convention regarding the automatic endorsement of our ticket.

Gentlemen, distinguished members of the Democratic Alliance, I recognize that you may have reservations about my past. But this election and my candidacy are not about the past, it is about the future. My firm commitment to you cannot be understated. I will not return us to the divisive campaign conduct of the past. I have learned and grown from my mistakes. I humbly ask for your confidence in both my running-mate and I. If you choose to decline my endorsement for President, that is your preference; but at the very least, I do hope that my running-mate can be considered for a vice presidential endorsement. The by-laws are clear that this ticket should be endorsed. Personal objections should not have any bearing on this endorsement because I will not repeat past conduct. If you look at my record in office, there has been an absence of any behavior for which you are expressing opposition.

Section 1. Automatic Endorsements

"A Democratic Alliance candidate/ticket running for an office shall be automatically endorsed, unless there is an objection raised by a party member against such endorsement, if they are the only candidate/ticket running in a single-seat election, or if the number of Democratic Alliance candidates running is equal to or less than the number of seats needed to hold a majority in such legislature in a multi-seat election."

You should know that I remain committed to advancing the mission, platform, and ideals of the Democratic Alliance. I have shown this not only my selection of a DA member, but through my partnership with Tmth and others during my time in the Southern CoD. Labor has failed not only Atlasia, but the DA by ignoring its interests and shutting you out from decisions that are made. I can assure you that this process will only continue. Regardless of our personal feuds and differences, I believe my ticket is worthy of the DA endorsement. We need to set this quarreling and senseless attacks aside for a better Atlasia. The Labor party will not bring an improved nation. I do hope that you reconsider and choose not to sever the bonds between the Federalists and yourselves by refusing to endorse the Federalist/DA ticket. It will have far reaching consequences in endangering the national relevance of the Democratic Alliance.

You may reach out to me publicly or privately for assurances that I will take the policies and wishes of your party into account in this ticket being the standard bearer.

Respectfully,

Spark
