Anyone who needs any further evidence is why Afletich is a terrible, terrible senator please refer to the JCP convention

[DownWithTheLeft]

Happy birthday guys, if a few days late. There's no opposition quite like y'all.

Well we are always welcome to your input and you have a lot more influence than you think (killed the assembly, cough, asshole )

[DownWithTheLeft]

Before I finalize voting plans, does anyone know our exact number of voters?

[DownWithTheLeft]

I would like to encourage members of our party to consider all three of our candidates and choose wisely when voting.  The DA got 3 members in last time with a much smaller party.  All Duke has to do to win is outlast Afleitch and Franzl, he does not need to reach a quota

[DownWithTheLeft]

Scratch it, no official endorsements other than vote for our candidates

[DownWithTheLeft]

Its pretty much safe to stop voting for RB, there would need to be like 110 voters minimum for him to start having problems.  Start preffing SPC and Duke

[DownWithTheLeft]

DWTL would like me to say that the RPP endorses the following ballot:

1. Franzl
2. Afleitch
3. Marokai Blue
4. Fritz

It is no longer necessary tp vote for Rowan Brandon as they think he already has enough votes to win.

Little something you should know, there is more to the RPP then just DWTL.

NC, i never said anything close to that

[DownWithTheLeft]

Oh well, so we probably will (once again) fall just short of getting a second seat.  Either way, great job guys and the focus can now shift to October where, I think, we certainly should be favorites to win the presidential election

oh?

Our party numbers are much larger than last time and I have a strong feeling this ticket is going to attract a lot of support

[DownWithTheLeft]

Yeah at least this the VP is competent and not a liability

[DownWithTheLeft]

What ticket are you guys running?  Did I miss the announcement?

Only the RPP members know who their candidate is. They're sworn to secrecy, not to reveal who it is until that candidate makes an official statement. So no, you didn't miss the announcment.

I'd honestly be surprised if you didn't know the ticket, to be honest I was under the impression that nearly 70% of Atlasia already knew

[DownWithTheLeft]

Looking ahead, the RPP plans, for the first time in their history, to contest all five senate seats

Big news a-comin'

[DownWithTheLeft]

I'm fairly sure this 'news' is obvious.

Are you stalking me or something?

I think he thought I was going to announce your run for Pacific senate

But I don't think many people will expect the announcement so here it comes (in a post by itself of course)

[DownWithTheLeft]

Statement from the Chair

Well, I know I put out a lot of meaningless statements, but this one is certainly far from meaningless.  I was hoping this could be the 1000th post in this thread, and although its close it just feel short.  First, I want to say the following.  In August 2008, conservatism was dead in Atlasia, a few of dredged along in what was left of the ACA, the Republicans, and a few other fragmented parties that did little to nothing.  The party system was dead, turnout was done, and Atlasia seemed to be on its last legs.  Three braves souls, you know who they are by now, decided to give it one least chance and start a little fringe party known as the Southern Secessionist Party.  From there, you know the story, the party system was revitilized, Atlasia was saved, and once again conservatives felt like they had a voice. 

Now, it seems as if conservatives have forgotten what exactly the RPP is all about and why we were founded.  Complaining has taken over and people are questioning whether or not survival is going to continue.  Tales of demise are greatly exaggerated, as they always have been in the past.  However, I want to do something that maybe will change the perception of our party a bit.  I've never been known as someone to be selfless in Atlasia, mostly selfish, but at this point I need to do something that is good for the party rather than myself.

So without further ado, I would like to make the following annoucement.  The RPP as a party cannot have a chair who commands so much focus at this time.  So I will name a successor.  In my time here, only person that I allied with has ever shared my entire feelings for this game.  He was there from the beginning, encouraging me that what we were doing was worthwhile.  In fact, he coined the term Dirty South.

Ladies and gentleman, well mostly gentleman, I am proud to announce Fmr. Gov. AHDuke as the new chairman of the RPP.

[DownWithTheLeft]

As a note, I will remain heavily involved in Atlasia and serve in the RPP in pretty much the capacity Duke has for the last year.

Post #1000!

[DownWithTheLeft]

Do you guys, like, just do whatever you want? Or do you follow the bylaws?

We follow the bylaws, technically PiT resigned as vice-chair, I appointed Duke, then resigned, then Duke re-appointed PiT upon assuming the chair.  He then created a new position, which could be contested at the next convention.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Actually I read the bylaws, and it says nothing about a new chair just that we can have elections for them at the convention

[DownWithTheLeft]

Well, the reason these two left is fairly simple:

They wanted a vote on chairman right now.  I stated that it would happen at the convention, but it was an unnecessary distraction that we did not need now.  I also stated that I didn't want to be part of a party that didn't espoused the beliefs I founded this party upon.

No, you want a confirmation vote of Duke. We want a free and open election.

The bylaws never ever called for such thing, this isn't an exact quote but the gist is that the chairman can be put up to a vote at the convention.  If he fails to gain 50% of the vote at the convention, then an open vote is held in which the current chair can run.  If you object to the bylaws, that could also be done at the convention.  Leaving the party was an incredibly irrational response especially after we threw our support at you instead making sure a loyal member like SPC got in first

I may say I am very depressed the hit list is gone, the last one was great even though it some thought it should have included Marokai to which I completely disagreed
