Kailua-Kona, Hawaii₁
drive-in mega-rally, social distancing enforced in non-vaccinated section - livestreamed on HI Labor Website

Aloha, Kailua-Kona!

It's great to be here speaking to you all, from here on the Big Island. Kailua-Kona plays an important role in the history of this great state. It was established by King Kamehameha I to be his seat of government when he was chief of Kona before he consolidated rule of the archipelago in 1795. It was later designated as the capital of the newly unified Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. The capital was later moved to Lāhainā, and then to Honolulu.

This town functioned as a retreat of the Hawaiian royal family, as well as place where Hawaiian culture became fully unified.₂

Its role in making Hawaii what it is today is enormous, and we would be remiss to neglect that history. However, the news out of Honolulu has been troubling, as your state senator, Laura Baker, has led a fringe group of rogue senators trying to obtain independence for Hawaii.

It has long been the position of Frémont Labor to allow home rule, not just for Hawaii but all our constituent states, while at the same time maintaining that the union is mutually beneficial to Hawaii, to Frémont, and indeed, the Republic of Atlasia. That has never changed, and under Governor Abercrombie, it never will.

But individuals like Senator Baker ran on the promise of supporting social progress, environmental preservation, and economic growth. She did not run on her personal pet projects, nor did any of the other senators who followed her lead out of the party. Senator Baker wants people to exercise their protest against our great union by abstaining from the election entirely. I must say, I find it rather ironic that Senator Baker expects to obtain her goals by having people sit out the election. Elections, after all, are what decides the fate of these states!

Senator Baker is truly a rebel without a cause, or even a clue! And the woman who will succeed her, State Representative Leilani Nishihara, is running as a staunch defender of both our union, as well as Hawaii's rich traditions and culture.

Labor is the only party that has a serious plan, and once these rogue senators are tossed out on the 30th, Governor Abercrombie will emerge with a commanding majority in the House and Senate, and be able to focus on the real issues facing Hawaiians today - particularly, climate change.

I have no doubt that it is a reflection of the rogue senators themselves, and not on the people of Hawaii, that they would prioritize futile secession efforts over the long-term stability of the state they so claim to love and represent. The people of Hawaii know better than to fall for such disgraceful publicity stunts. Representative Nishihara reflects your values, Governor Abercrombie reflects your values, First Minister Truman reflects your values, and President-elect Sev reflects your values.

We will always defend the interests of Hawaii. And while we will not impede on home rule, neither will we let attention-seekers like Senator Baker and others lead you astray.

A vote for Labor is a vote for a return to sanity in Honolulu. And so it is imperative that you exercise your right to vote, and cast out the purveyors of this nonsensical vanity movement.

To ensure that as many people turn out as possible, we have recruited volunteers to get you all registered in time for Election Day. A vote for Governor Abercrombie and the Labor Party is a vote for stability, rather than uncertainty. A vote for Labor is a vote for Hawaii, not just the privileged few who want the limelight all for themselves.

And a vote for Labor is a vote for keeping our islands above water. That, after all, is the existential threat facing Hawaii today. That is what will restore confidence in a government that is unanimous in its support for Hawaii's best interests.

I will now pass the mic to Representative Nishihara, and her plans to help unify Hawaii at the side of Governor Abercrombie.

Thank you for having me, Kona! And remember to get out, vote, and elect people with records of accomplishment - not those who put the people of Hawaii second to their time in the local and national news.

And now, Representative Nishihara, come on up!

Ad: A Lie Far, Far Away
To air in Nebraska, New Mexico, and Hawaii

[Yellow text roles over a black background, while a softer, more playful version of the "Star Wars" theme song plays. A reader narrates.]

Long ago, in a state far, far away, the Democratic Alliance ran on protecting Alaska's Permanent Fund by running on an anti-environmental platform.

[The text folds into disappearance, followed by a clip from a past radio ad with the following poster on the screen:]

Alaska Radio Ad in Markets Listed Below

Alaska is one of the most beautiful, greenest states in Atlasia. Just look around us.

Don't let the Green Party tell you it isn't. They decided to team up with Labour. Did you know Labour's platform includes a provision that calls for the nationalization of our energy companies? The very same companies that are the lifeblood for all Alaskans and the PFD*. Don't let the Greens and Labour take money out of your pocket. Vote Democratic Alliance!

* = Permanent Fund Dividend. Alaskans know it as the PFD, an annual check from an investment fund where a portion of Alaska oil revenues go.

[Return to first screen, sans music and scrolling]

And now, the Democratic Alliance wants you to think it never happened.

A couple days ago Scott came to Omaha and said, among other things, that the DA is “continuing to run on falsehoods here in just about every campaign since their infamous Alaska campaign.”

Well I have to ask the Senator, what campaign? The one where you made up in your head that we said you were gutting the Permanent Fund? I ask you to look through a word of what I said up there and you’ll find that what I talked about never touched it. I campaigned on many things up there. Civility. Green tourism. Green energy.

[The clip of the speech rewinds]

we said you were gutting the Permanent Fund?

said you were gutting the Permanent Fund?

gutting the Permanent Fund?

[Return to the main screen]

So what DID the Democratic Alliance campaign on again, Weatherboy?

This month, hold the Democratic Alliance accountable. Vote against the dishonesty. Vote Labor.

St. Augustine, Florida₁
drive-in mega-rally, social distancing enforced in non-vaccinated section - livestreamed on FL Labor Website

Hello, St. Augustine!

Well, it's great to be back! I must say, flying back from Hawaii to Florida, this campaign has definitely felt like a vacation to me. And our new government swears in less than a week, so I'm soaking in those rays and getting tanned and rested in time for what's bound to be a tumultuous, historic, defining time for our country!

Folks, the election date may have been extended, but the 30th is rapidly approaching. And I don't mince words when I say this is a turnout contest. We need people to vote. That's why I've brought along volunteers from Flagler College to set up booths to get you all registered. We need young people. We need seniors. We need people of all races and heritages. With a coalition like that, we will be unstoppable. And that is the coalition that will reelect Governor Chávez and send him back to Tallahassee with a mandate.

Under Governor Chávez, a friendly statehouse, President-elect Sev, and a de facto Labor coalition Senate, Florida will never sink. And while I give individuals in the opposition credit for supporting the same proposals - including, yes, the Democratic Alliance - I believe that is a clear testament to what Floridians prioritize most. That is the rising sea levels, which threaten our coastal cities. That is clean water. That is personal security as well as job security.

These are issues where the Governor has forged common ground and consensus in a politically polarized state. Governor Chávez is a unifier. He is an honest man who embodies the grit and the integrity we so value in a politician.

And so do the two people seated behind me: St. Augustine Councilmember Natalie Cruz, who is running for Senate, and local environmental activist Tish Brat, who is running for House. These two women represent Florida at its best, and they, like Governor Chávez, understand the urgency of addressing climate change.

But their districts are very competitive! And that is why we need we many voters as we can get to head to the polls on the 30th and elect them as reinforcement for Governor Chávez's agenda and policies.

They will always put St. Augustine first and listen to their constituents. That is how Governor Chávez leads. That is how Governor Santos in New Mexico leads. That is how Labor leads.

So if you do one thing after this rally today, St. Augustine, come on up and register if you haven't! I already see lines forming around the booths we have set up.

Folks, we are going to win and win big. But we take no election for granted, nor should you.

I will now introduce our next speaker, Councilmember Cruz.

Thank you, Florida! I love ya!

Orlando, Florida₁
drive-in mega-rally, social distancing enforced in non-vaccinated section - livestreamed on FL Labor Website

HELLO, ORLANDO!

I gotta say, folks, what a city! It truly is unlike anywhere else in Atlasia. And I must say, Walt Disney knew what he was doing. He had a vision, and that transformed the entire culture of this city. Mr. Disney is a perfect example of Atlasian exceptionalism, and the effort he and others put into this dream is remarkable.

But let's get to the brass tacks. Folks, you got a great leader in Governor Chávez. He's managed to clean up the state in both a physical and political sense. He, like every Southern and every Lincoln governor, is under the burden of funding state services while keeping taxes low. I don't mince words when I say that triple taxation must end. That is what I believe. And that is what Governor Chávez believes.

And that is one issue I think we all ought to be unified on, and demand tax reform from Nashville. The hardworking people of Florida should not have to live under the burden of triple taxation.

But in spite of this, Florida's economy has improved. The Governor's "Florida Doesn't Sink" program has resulted in millions getting vaccinate. And let me tell you, folks, it works. Nearly all COVID deaths are among the unvaccinated.

So with that, I think it's very clear that Florida ought to steer the course. Governor Chávez knows this state, and as a consensus-builder he has brought great change to this state, in revitalizing our economy, re-opening businesses in a responsible manner, and of course, getting as many people vaccinated as possible.

That, and environment conservation, are the main focuses of "Florida Doesn't Sink". And it works. We are breaking records in vaccination numbers and cutting emissions. It is remarkable how Governor Chávez has been able to unite people in all parties, and that is why I'm glad to have him here to speak to you all!

[audience cheers]

This is a defining moment for the state and country, as we emerge from this terrible pandemic and return to a state of normalcy. No doubt that faith in leadership was tested over the past year, and Governor Chávez is meeting or exceeding his own goals for the state.

And now, it is my honor to introduce the man himself, who is focused on the long-term prospects for Florida as he is now. I gotta tell you people, the man never sleeps! And I was so happy to receive a call from him to help campaign in Orlando on his behalf.

Ladies and gentlemen, your governor, Mr. Fidel Chávez!!

Lincoln, Nebraska₁
drive-in mega-rally, social distancing enforced in non-vaccinated section - livestreamed on NE Labor Website

Well folks, I kept my word to ya. And seated behind me is one superb governor who understands the needs of the state and the people who sent him here.

I am so glad to finally be here in the city of Lincoln!

You know, Governor Nelson and I, as you've been told, do not always see eye-to-eye. But we share a very similar vision for the state and the country: opportunities for all, special privileges for none, a generous welfare state that keeps Nebraska families afloat. And we have achieved these things through compromise and bipartisanship.

I am proud to say that I won Nebraska in last week's elections in a huge upset. We saw multiple voters split their ticket: LT voters who voted Labor downballot, and Sev voters who voted for conservative and non-Labor candidates for Senate.

Nebraska is, at heart, a conservative state. And while Labor acknowledges that compromise is necessary to win conservative states, our opponents in the "centrist" Democratic Alliance are running a candidate to Governor Nelson's left.

Folks, we know this is nothing more than naked opportunism. And it shows that they don't know Nebraska.

But the Labor Party does. Governor Nelson does. And so does the Liberal candidate for Lieutenant Governor, John Hughes. Here in Nebraska, we do things a little differently; we work on a multipartisan basis to bring great things to working families in this state.

I can confidently assure you all, despite the media buzz, that Labor is fully unified. Labor is why politics here in Lincoln isn't cutthroat or ineffective because of gridlock. Labor understands how to win by coalition-building.

And I have to say, if it weren't for Governor Nelson's hard work on my campaign, we never would have won this state. But our campaign did, because our values reflect those of small town Atlasia and what elitists on both the right and left dismiss as "flyover country".

I recently got off a long Discord conversation with Senator Yankee on how to manage this new experiment of a unicameral legislature. Senator Yankee is someone I have had great admiration for, and in multiple elections I have even endorsed his Senate campaigns, because his wisdom and experience are indispensable to any functioning legislative body.

I mean what I say that I will work with anyone in any party to move our country forward. I have a long record of passing progressive legislation with conservative support. And AtlasCare, which Liberal Senator Ishan wishes to expand, is a product of compromise. I'm proud to have worked with Senator Yankee on this legislation, as well as Justice PiT. We expanded freedom of choice and implemented reforms to keep private insurance in check.

During my time as First Minister, Frémont became the only region to abolish for-profit insurance and replace them with German-style sickness funds. We retained freedom of choice, while at the same time achieving universal healthcare through the AtlasCare program. Both Federalists and Laborites boast about creating AtlasCare. But folks, that is a testament to the value of reaching across the aisle.

We see the same thing here in the Cornhusker State, in the Capitol, where Representatives put their ideologies aside and elected who they thought would be the most competent and impartial Speaker. And no doubt our Federalist Speaker, a moderate who routinely works with our Labor majority, has played a huge role in de-toxifying politics in Lincoln.

That is why 54% of Nebraskans approve of the current administration. That is why Nebraskans want to stay the course.

And hopefully, we will see similar cooperation in the Atlasian Senate.

But even the Democratic Alliance has acknowledged Frémont's funding of local services. Governor Nelson has spent taxpayer dollars responsibly. And yes, he has cut regulations that made it harder for small farms to compete with the big factory farms. Removing barriers to entry is essential to any prospective business. The people know Bob Nelson. And Bob Nelson has always stood with farmers, the rural poor, and job growth in growing cities like Omaha. That's what matters.

In conclusion, the Labor record in Nebraska, and the civility in the State Capitol, proves that we're not against compromise or working across the aisle. I am proud of the Labor record in Nebraska. And so do over half of Nebraskans who want to see Governor Nelson and Lieutenant Governor-hopeful John Hughes build on what they started.

On the 30th, vote Labor up and down the ballot. Vote for the people who know Nebraska and not people who don't even understand Frémont's tax policy despite being a member of the State Senate! Elect Bob Nelson and John Hughes, and vote Labor downballot!

Thank you all so very much. And now, I would like to introduce our next speaker. The man who's stood with this state and changed politics for the benefit of the average citizen.

Lades and gentlemen, please give a big round of applause to your governor, Mr. Bob Nelson.

Thank you, Lincoln! May Dave bless this great state, and may Dave bless this great republic!

Key Biscayne, Florida₁
drive-in mega-rally, social distancing enforced in non-vaccinated section - livestreamed on FL Labor Website

Good afternoon.

First, I would like to express my deepest condolences, and my prayers, for the people of Miami this week, in light of the recent building collapse. I understand that both the Mayor and the Governor have been working diligently on searching for and identifying the people we've lost, and I wish both them, and the people and families who are affected, the absolute best as we continue to recover from this tragedy. To the audience out here, let us pause for a moment of silence.


Thank you.

Out of respect for the people of Miami, I have chose not to campaign there at this time. But I recently came across a great article in USA Today, about how this tragedy has unified the large Jewish community which inhabits the city. One Jewish nonprofit center has been helping the effort by handing out food, water, and clothing to the people who lost their homes and family members in the aftermath.

All of Miami has been emboldened by these recent events. But I wanted to speak to you today about an issue that is complex and uncomfortable, but nevertheless must be addressed.

In recent years, we have seen an unprecedented rise in antisemitic hate crimes, brought on by far-right wing extremism and what would appear to be, on certain segments of the left, an indifference to this epidemic or even the enabling of these attitudes and behaviors.

Much of the antisemitism on the left stems from conflict in the Middle East, and the illegal settlement building and mistreatment of Palestinians by the Israeli government. Make no mistake, we in the Labor Party find these actions reprehensible. They are a grave injustice to Palestinians and Arabs, both those living in Israel proper and those outside, and they are an impediment to peace. And pending the results of July's elections in Israel, I for one would like to make the first step in forging a new peace deal that will pave the way to Atlasia recognizing Palestinian statehood.

But regardless of its motives, we in Labor condemn antisemitism in all its forms, both from the left and the right. As socialists and social democrats, we value the humanity in all people, regardless of ethnicity, religion, nationality, and background.

The Jewish community plays a tremendous role in shaping the cultural identity of our country and this state. And we stand with them unconditionally in times of tragedy. And like many, I am moved by how the Jewish community has come together for their home city. That truly is Florida at its best.

But like the rest in Labor, I will not rest until antisemitism is cast into the dustbin of history.

With the loss of the Greatest Generation comes with the loss of those who remember the Holocaust, and the atrocities they witnessed and reported after liberating the Jewish people from Hitler's regime. And should we fail to learn from history, from how prejudice and intolerance leads us down the path to genocide, we can be assured that those atrocities can happen here or elsewhere.

I stand with the Jewish community, and in particular, Holocaust survivors and those who are descendants of Holocaust survivors, in saying, "Never again".

So as we combat racism and social injustice, let us combat all prejudice. And let us not let our disagreements with the Israeli government reflect on or motivate any animus towards the Jewish people as a whole, a great and diverse people who have endured great hardship throughout the history of their existence.

Labor stands for peace and justice for all Atlasians, and unlike certain foreign left-wing parties, we condemn antisemitism wherever it arises and promise never to let that define us in our causes.

Thank you, Key Biscayne. Dave bless you all, and Dave bless the city of Miami in these trying times.

St. Paul, Minnesota₁
drive-in mega-rally, social distancing enforced in non-vaccinated section - livestreamed on MN Labor Website

Good morning, St. Paul!

As Labor's accomplishment under Governor Bayroom-Coons is yet to be reported by the GM, I am kicking off Labor's planned tour around the country in my first capacity as Local Elections Coordinator. Minnesota, you have always been good to me, and I'm proud to be representing this great state in the Senate. As Senate leader, I've led a divided Senate towards consensus after consensus on what is best for the Atlasian people. Trade is fundamentally one of those issues, as I have pursued initiatives for our nation to overhaul the tax code so that corporate profits cannot be hidden in tax havens. We're putting our workers first as the main drivers of our economy, and I've done my part as leader to enforce a new ideal: Atlasia first, but not Atlasia alone.

Setting a fair playing field will require a cooperative relationship with our trade partners and allies, and well over a hundred nations have recognized the need for a global overhaul, to mitigate the greed that leaves our nation poorer, and the needs of hardworking Minnesotans last.

And those hardworking Minnesotans includes no shortage of immigrants, particularly those of Muslim faith. It is one of the reasons why we need to empower our nation, one state at a time, to meet the challenges that China poses to the world stage. In July, the Senate invested in the resettlement of 150,000 refugees from countries where their lives and their families' safety might be in jeopardy. We have taken China's abuses to the world Muslim community head-on by strengthening our sanctions against goods produced by Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities who have suffered and been subject to indoctrination and numerous human rights abuses by the People's Republic of China.

It is my position that while the Second Korean War helped to reinforce Atlasian strength across the globe, our true strength lies in our values. Atlasia is at its strongest when we stand boldly for our principles, for human rights and for immigrants who come to enrich as well as assimilitate into our culture, by celebrating the rights that our constitution affords us. On that front, I will never quit to defend the Atlasian way of life and right to pursue happiness for both our native-born and our non-native born.

The great spirit of cooperation that inhabits this state - that great union between the farmer, the teacher, the blue-collar worker, the immigrant, our families, and our democratic values - meld as one uniquely Atlasian culture. Out-of-staters call it "Minnesota nice." Here in the Twin Cities and stretching throughout to our lakes and farms, it's just another Tuesday.

So I hope you will join us in this campaign, to reelect Labor and continue to respond to the needs of the people. As we eagerly anticipate the Game Moderator's first report, it is my hope and expectation that Minnesota receives a grade of good health. That includes vaccinations and our efforts in combating COVID-19 and the new Delta variant.

But I caution you, folks: we cannot mask or socially distance our way out of this pandemic. Fremont has had a spectacular rollout, and the number of fully vaccinated people only increases. Over 90% of patients hospitalized are the unvaccinated, even with the Delta variant.

And so I say let's stay the course. To quote the great Paul Wellstone, "We all do better when we all do better." This month, vote for Labor candidates up and down the ballot. Reelect Governor Bayroom-Coons with a mandate to continue our economic recovery, and elect senators who share your values. The party that does that, is the Labor Party.

Thank you, St. Paul, and thank you for being my first visit after so much time off the campaign trail! Dave bless you all!

Hot Springs, Arkansas₁
drive-in mega-rally, social distancing enforced in non-vaccinated section - livestreamed on AR Labor Website

A fine howdy to the good people of Arkansas!

You know, whether Mr. Peanut updates us or not, I fully intend on running a high-speed campaign throughout the nation for Labor. While we bemoan the decline of the Peace Party, and all it has contributed in the last four years, we celebrate a new beginning.

We in the Labor Party welcome Governor Chapman. And we also don't suppose things that were not originally reported as my good friend, Senator Cao has in this state today. GM Peanut has simply not released a full report on the administrations of each of our states up this month! But I am here to officially welcome Governor Chapman into our party, and to officially kick off Labor's campaign in Arkansas.

While we have yet to learn of the progress this state has made since Governor Chapman took office, he informs me that things have been moving well in a polarized state. With the Peace and Labor parties now fully unified, we can take this state in a radically new direction from that of the government in Nashville.

And folks, while we don't have all the information yet, I can tell you what we do know: that the current Southern Governor, Louisville Thunder, has gone rogue by delaying the process in his trial currently pending before a jury. While that mess is all sorted out, I'd like to remind the people of Arkansas that people like Buck Chapman are keeping this corrupt governor in check. His actions have been bad for the South, bad for Arkansas, indeed, bad for the country and the game.

I repeat: we need a check on the government in Nashville, so long as the Southern people are being led astray by this rogue governor. I don't need the GM to tell you folks that doxxing is wrong, and that Governor Chapman is fully opposed to it. I don't need the GM to tell you all that giving the Federalist Party a mandate, by ousting Governor Chapman and installing a puppet of the regional administration, is the wrong move at this time.

We are, however, in the midst of an economic recovery under the leadership of President Sev and the Senate. Labor proposals to strengthen our country have passed, often with overwhelming support from the other parties, and I am fully confident in the governor's competence and even-handed approach in Arkansas. This is the same leadership I try to replicate in my role as Senate leader. This is the same type of leadership Labor advocates for everybody.

It is such an honor to be here with the governor, and with two of our candidates on the stage: Senator David Chamberlain and Representative Maddie Bost. Both are former Peace members who have since joined the maroon team. And they are both seeking reelection in their competitive districts this fall.

Make no mistake: Labor is the party of peace. Not under the two years of Labor leadership has our country been at war. Instead, we have been building coalitions abroad and keeping our people afloat at home. We stand for Atlasia first, but not Atlasia alone.

We also stand against corruption in all its forms. We stand against doxxing fellow Atlasians, as the Southern Governor has done. We stand against the politics and the types of division he has sowed for the people of the South. We stand against liars, con artists, and people who are fundamentally threatening to Atlasian society, regardless of party and regardless of the office they occupy.

I am telling you, Arkansas, that the choice this month could not be more clear! Elect a lackey for corrupt regional leadership in Nashville, or stand with Buck Chapman. Take a stand FOR good government and FOR Arkansas values!

The question standing before Arkansas today could not be clearer: do you elect a party backbencher in Jay Hammersmith, or do you reelect a governor who stands for all of Arkansas? For what it's worth, I can assure you that Buck Chapman will accept the results of this election, whether he wins or loses. He will not cross his arms, smear, and attempt to deny the opposition of a victory in the way that Louisville Thunder tried to do!

Thank you, Arkansas, and Dave bless all of you!

Hello, Houston! It is so great to be in Texas once again!

Well, while our GM has yet to report new information, one thing is for sure: Mayor Fererra walked into the mayor's office without a single visit from Federalists. But I can confidently say that the infrastructure laid out by now-State Senator Kate Sandlin has empowered Houston Labor.

Our platform is very similar to Senator Sandlin's, and we have in our candidate, Ron Stiltz, the very same things that Senator Sandlin prioritized during her mayoral campaign.

Ron Stiltz is a lifelong Houstonian who's worked to mitigate the effects of climate change from coastal cities like Texas as well as other states around the gulf. Ron is not a career politician, but he is a man with a plan to fix Houston.

That plan is to invest in all communities, especially disenfrachised neighborhoods like Sunnyside, to create a more equal Houston. Ron wants to make massive investments in public transportation, targeted towards under-served areas. We will provide $35 million in rental assistance and $20 million grants in small businesses.

Ron will steer the city towards carbon neutrality by 2050, and he is willing to work with local businesses to do it.

Food deserts will be a thing of the past, and residents will be afforded more nutritional, yet affordable, options.

Ron will use his businesses experience to manage Houston, with his plan to end mask mandates, as well as a plan to guarantee that all of Houston's residents are fully vaccinated.

This is the Stiltz Plan. This is Texas Labor's plan for rejuvenating Houston and its economy. This is Labor's plan for a return to normalcy.

Houston deserves a mayor with a plan - not one who did nothing more than appear on the ballot in the last election.

But we still face an uphill battle flipping this city from orange to maroon. It is, however, imperative that we elect a mayor who can pass these reforms as well as serve as a check on the Southern Governor's misdeeds.

How many fans of the Governor are out this morning?

[audience mostly boos, with a couple cheers[

Well, by electing Rod Stiltz you will be sending a message that change is needed in Nashville. I invite all who are unhappy with the current administration to join us, including members of the Democratic Alliance.

Let's flip Houston maroon. And now, speaking of governors, it is my honor to introduce our next speaker, your governor, Ms. Ramsey Bryant!!

Nashville, Tennessee₁
drive-in mega-rally, social distancing enforced in non-vaccinated section - livestreamed on TN Labor Website

Good afternoon to you all, Nashville!

It has been a slow month of campaigning, indeed, and it is my hope that this month's events will be counted for September. But as elections coordinator, it is my desire that our message spreads far and wide, including states like here in Tennessee that some pundits have written off for Labor.

But to me, it is clear that much change is needed here in Tennessee and especially the Southern Capitol. Now today I want to ask the people of Tennessee, are you satisfied with the leadership you are getting? Are you satisfied to have a Regional Governor who's lost so much goodwill with even many of his former supporters, and has said and done things that neither he nor most of his current supporters are even trying to defend, including Governor Monson who has stood by Louisville Thunder every step of the way?

Folks, now is the time to truly make a difference. There are budgetary issues similar to those in Lincoln, in which the states are forced to raise their own budgets and tax poor working-class people. This election in Tennessee isn't going to fix that, but here we have the opportunity to demand more, and to demand better, of your regional and local leaders. Labor does not want to take more of your tax dollars when you're already paying through the nose to Nashville and Nyman.

Labor understands that we cannot mask ourselves out of this pandemic, and I'm always pleased to speak at rallies where our unvaccinated section is diminishing.

And in states like Tennessee, Labor is renewing itself with a program tailored to the needs and values of the people it governs. Tennessee Labor supports the right to keep and bear arms. Tennessee Labor wants to reduce the number of abortions and unplanned pregnancies through education, and where we differ from our opponents in the Federalist Party is whether the penal system or the education system has the better means of addressing that sensitive issue.

My friends, today I'd like to introduce you all to Labor Senate leader, Mr. Cedric Parton. Cedric has lived in Tennessee his entire life, born and raised, and currently representing, part of the City of Memphis. An African-Atlasian father of four, Cedric's story truly is an Atlasian one. Cedric grew up in poverty. He had, growing up, what a certain individual might characterize as a "pathetic" life. But throughout his time in public office, from Memphis City Council Member to Mayor to the leader of our party in the state Senate, Cedric has shown what it means to be a leader. He understands that effective leadership is non-divisive, and that flowing against the current tide might not always be a popular decision but it must be the right decision for Tennessee.

And so I invite people of all parties, including Federalists who want to send a message to the regional administration, to join Senator Cedric Parton in his campaign. In our campaign. Starting right here at the heart of the South's capital. Though we may face an uphill battle, it is nonetheless a battle we intend to take to the very end.

And now it is my pleasure to introduce to you, the next Governor of the great State of Tennessee, Senator Cedric Parton!

Good evening, Knoxville!

Senator Parton and I have been visiting small cities and towns throughout the state. From my view, people are taking very well to our reformist, anti-corruption campaign. You carry the torch of this great region, Tennessee. You've shown that it's possible to be a great state. I've noticed such a strong sense of brotherhood. We've reached out to evangelical voters, so many of them Federalist, and we listened to their concerns; their concerns about the state, their concerns about the South, their concerns about the moral character of a leader. We visited affluent and poor communities of all colors and heard their material concerns.

There is a common desire for justice. For the physical healing of those inflicted with addiction to opiates and crystal meth. We've seen addiction affect all corners of this state, urban and rural. Black and white.

There is a great sense of pride and hospitality in this state, even among those who disagree with me or Cedric or the national Labor Party. And there is a shared desire to create a Tennessee that works for everyone, that exemplifies that moral character. The family is the hallmark of Tennessee's Southern character.

Blue collar workers, and union leaders in particular, expressed their desire to partake in common ownership of what they create that keeps Tennessee on the move.

We have heard your calls, Tennessee. Cedric is going to spend every day as governor to build on addiction treatment and follow a similar model of criminal justice reform that has been replicated nationally and in other regions. These are common sense reforms that all people can agree on. Law and order will be upheld, and it will be law and order that creates upstanding citizens and uplifts those in a trough.

I can proudly stand here and tell you all tonight that we are on the brink of passing a permanent program for universal basic income. It will benefit families because it will benefit children. Working-class families will receive a direct investment from their input in the economy. This isn't class conflict, this is lifting all boats. And it will be, for those climbing their way out of poverty, a great reach for a better chance at life.

Cedric supports it, and he swears that as governor, Tennessee families will not be forgotten in its implementation. This, coupled with the economic recovery, will allow for this state and this nation to emerge out of COVID-19 as lions. As a brotherhood. As a sisterhood. As families. As the individuals.

I've invited our two candidates for statehouse, Knoxville Councilmember Ray Daniels and State Representative Ashley Childs to speak on their vision for the city and the state. We also have student volunteers from Knoxville College to register people to vote.

And now I would like to introduce our next speaker, your next governor, Senator Cedric Parton!

Memphis, Tennessee₁
drive-in mega-rally, social distancing enforced in non-vaccinated section - livestreamed on TN Labor Website

How are we doing tonight, Memphis?

It's good to be here in Senator Parton's home district, while he's out campaigning throughout the rest of Tennessee in preparation for what is going to be a long and exhausting campaign. But people like you, the people of Memphis, make it all worth it.

The Senate is on the verge of passing the largest expansion of social welfare since AtlasCare - an historic achievement, and also a bipartisan achievement, with majorities of Labor and Federalist senators voting in favor of a UBI bill for middle-class and low-income families. What we shall soon see is the result of over a year of advocacy and political capital to unite our party on this important issue, this new deal for working-class families in the modern economy, and to my shock we have seen a majority of Federalists senators vote in favor of this bill.

No doubt this was a political gamble is that paid off. And it's a gamble that's going to help the people of Memphis. It a gamble that will support working and poor families. It acknowledges and rewards the virtue and stability of the Atlasian family by tying benefits to children. And those who are concerned about our deficit will be pleased to know that it's not Donald Trump's family we're supporting; it is the lion's share of the people making our economy work again.

Finally, taxpayers will see their hard-earned money invested in a way that directly benefits most of Atlasia. This will help millions of people in paying for the rent each other, in feeding their families, in paying off debt, all while giving them more flexibility to work on their own careers and save for retirement and for the education of their children.

The New Great Society is alive and well today, and Labor is leading us to a land of better opportunity and, just as importantly, an equal and fair chance at success.

I've stated in our campaign that the priorities of Tennessee Labor, under the leadership of Senator Cedric Parton, are to increase accountability in state officials while providing for those in need. Labor is investing in Tennessee because we believe Tennessee has what is necessary to sustain a common ownership society, where hard work is rewarded and family institutions are respected. We're nominating candidates up and down the ballot who will put the interests of the state above those of national politicians.

It is consistent with our values in local control and our belief that the Constitution exists to safeguard our liberties and restrain special interests from telling law-abiding citizens and patriots how to live their lives.

I want to introduce you to one of those people - State Representative Connie Mack, who is currently running for Senator Parton's seat. She will be a key ally in expanding Labor's program to states like Tennessee which has historically favored the opposition party. And she, like Senator Patron and myself, favors a government that represents the people who elected them first.

Thank you, Memphis. Be sure to register as soon as you are able, if you are not already registered as such. Together, we can usher in an era of change in the Southern capital.

Dave bless you, Dave bless Tennessee, and Dave bless the Republic of Atlasia!

Chattanooga, Tennessee₁
drive-in mega-rally, social distancing enforced in non-vaccinated section - livestreamed on TN Labor Website

Hello, Chattanooga!

I'm here with our candidate for governor, Senator Parton, to set the record straight for what our campaign is about, and also to clarify our standing with the other parties running in this cycle.

We did make a deal with our friends in the Democratic Alliance to mutually endorse, for second preference, all executive positions up for election. I want to thank my friend, Senator Weatherboy, and the rest of the party, for coming together on a common cause. But we do this not merely to spite the Federalists in a series of back-and-forth mudslinging. That's never good for the game. That's not what the people of Atlasia deserves. It is definitely not what the people of Tennessee deserve.

Just last week, I moved to pass what was a politically risky objective of mine. A universal basic income is something that I've been personally invested in since a certain real-life political candidate devoted his campaign to establishing one. I think you all know who I'm talking about. But even within my party, it was not an issue that had unanimous support.

I think you all can imagine my shock when a majority of voting Federalists supported that family UBI bill. I want to thank Senators Cao, DTC, and Spark in particular for joining us in moving that bill forward. This pro-family legislation is going to benefit all of Atlasia and all Tennessee families, and the fact that this was a multi-partisan effort must be acknowledged.

Here are the facts: we do not have a clear record of what the state and city governments up for election this cycle have accomplished, because the GM has not provided that information. Absent that, we must campaign on what we do know. And what we do know is that the Southern Governor has neither apologized, nor has he been reprimanded, for the choices he himself made during the last election.

As far as we know, the Federalists have responded only with what amounts to statements of concern. Now, those of us who paid any attention to the real-life events over the last year and a half know that statements of 'concern' do nothing to rectify the corruption or the intentional misdoings of the individual in question.

I look forward to continuing my work with my Federalist colleagues in the next Senate. Both Senators Yankee and Cao are great legislative partners. They are both decent individuals. And I would be happy to serve as PPT alongside either of these men, depending on their plans for the next two months.

But absent the desire of Federalists to meaningfully discipline Governor Louisville Thunder for his actions cannot go ignored. The campaign we're running in the Volunteer State offers a promise of transparency and accountability.

I recall our long-fought Utah campaign earlier this year. When it was revealed that Governor Udall covered up those COVID deaths, Labor acted swiftly to renounce him and nominate an outstanding individual in his place. It was particularly awkward for me to renounce the Governor, my cousin, for his conduct. But I did so because the interests of the state and the people it represents outweigh party loyalty or family disputes.

Sadly, the Federalists have failed to act in a similar manner to a non-NPC player. His governorship compromises the confidence of the Southern people in their government in Nashville. And Tennessee needs a governor who can stand up to the political establishment in the Southern capital.

This is what our campaign is all about. This is why we are inviting independent-minded Federalists to join us in sending a message to this rogue Southern governor. Simply put: if the party is unable to directly address the problem causing so much of the malaise we see today, then it is up to the people of Tennessee and other Southern states to keep its leaders in check. This is the same message we're delivering to Arkansas and Houston. This is the same message that my good friend, Weatherboy, has been promoting in Georgia by contrasting the leadership style of Governor Miller with the toxic environment created by Louisville Thunder.

Now is the time for change. Now is the time to rebuild the South with competent, moral leadership. On that note, both Governor Miller and Senator Parton are united in their transparency and commitment to the Southern people.

In a moment I will be passing the microphone to Cedric, whose vision for the South is a strong region untainted by hostility. His vision is the same as Governor Miller's, and despite being from different parties, both are united in, truly, making the South great again.

Thank you, Chattanooga. On a final note, I continue to see our non-vaccinated sections shrink in every concurrent event. And with that I can assure you there is reason for optimism in this time of malaise.

Murfreesboro, Tennessee₁
drive-in mega-rally, social distancing enforced in non-vaccinated section - livestreamed on TN Labor Website

How are we feeling right now, Murfreesboro?

[audience shouts and applauds]

I thought so!

We have a lot to be optimistic about. We are going to rebuild Tennessee, and we're doing it from the ground-up.

The candidate I have with me for statehouse, Noah Loging, has been a true asset to organized labor. It is because of his advocacy and leadership that the workers of the Amazon fulfillment center here are on the verge of establishing a union.

But that work hasn't been met without resistance from the higher-ups at Amazon, who have demonstrated that it is possible to pay zero dollars in taxation. The problem here is simple: Amazon pays no taxes while small businesses play by the rules. Workers' income is taxed by the local, state, regional, and federal governments.

It is an outrage that Big Tech continues to get a break, while the workers are viewed merely as pawns to further enrich them and their control over the economy. It is a betrayal to the country that built the infrastructure for their success. And these workers are subject to dehumanizing conditions. There are few bathroom breaks, which are all timed, excessive productivity goals, and an unsafe work environment. The pandemic has only exacerbated problems as more people turn to delivery services.

But Noah and local labor leaders have taken action to ensure existing regulations for employers are enforced. Unions play a pivotal role, but they know they are David in a David and Goliath fight. And unionization efforts have been opposed by Amazon, which has previously sabotaged these campaigns for union organization.

It's clear that Big Tech thinks it is above the law, and corporations like Amazon epitomize the fundamental problem between labor and capital. But unions have structural bargaining power. When workers come together, and when workers have the support of local leadership and the community, they can demand better pay and conditions.

It is incumbent upon us, as fighters for the right to organize, to continue pressuring multinational corporations like Amazon to improve workers' conditions and raise wages.

It's not impossible. In Chicago, Amazon workers came together to form Amazonians United. Any attempt by corporate to interfere, restrain, or coerce employees from taking such actions would violate labor laws.

I would like to quote section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act: "Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection".

The right for workers to organize is ingrained within our labor laws. But that hasn't deterred corporations from steering away from those laws.

We have to stop begging for scraps and demand the whole damn loaf. After all, we are the bakers. We are the people, workers and consumers, who keep Amazon alive.

So here we are today. Soon, workers will vote on whether to establish a union. We've seen that these efforts are not always successful; the failed vote to create a union at an Alabama fulfillment center proved that much. But the labor movement stands together and resists any attempt to divide us - by race, by gender, by religion, by sexual orientation, by physical ability. What unites the workers is a common desire to improve working conditions for themselves and solidarity with fellow workers across workplaces, industries, and borders.

And what the working people need is a government in Nashville that supports the right to organize. Labor was founded as not just a party, but as a movement for working and lower-class people. We stand for common principles, for the right to organize as enshrined by federal law. And I'm confident that the workers of Murfreesboro have the will to exercise that sacred right.

Now, I would like to introduce you all to your next state representative; ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Noah Loging!
