WCN BREAKING NEWS!

*Governor Wildcard walks out onto a stage and goes behind a podium as "Burning Heart" by Survivor plays*

My fellow Pacificans I bid you all a Good afternoon!

Today I have an announcement to make.

First though, I would like to take this moment to say how honored I am to have served as your Governor for these past months and how proud I am of the people of the Pacific. We've accomplished a lot together in these past many months.

Today I have come here to announce that I will seek a third term as your Governor!

If you re-elect me Governor I will continue to add on to our regions progressive history, I will continue to push forward quality re-districting plans, and most of all I will continue fighting for you the people of the Pacific!

Thank you all and good afternoon!

The Civil Unions and Medical Marjuana initiatives may overstep the bounds of state power.  The Feds have already made it fairly clear what our nation's policy here is.

The Marriage Equity Act is authorised under the Powers of the Senate and Regions Amendment, Section 1, Clause 5: "To establish uniform rules of ... Marriage ... throughout Atlasia". A regional attempt to alter this definition would violate the Supremacy of the Constitution and Federal Law Amendment.

Amazingly there would also be a person with standing to sue on this basis as Hughento is an OR resident and married to Fritz - you would essentially be voiding that marriage contract if you altered the definition.

Allow me to clearify this, prop 6 was placed on this ballot when former Supreme Court Justice King said that the Governors of the region's where Fritz and Hugh lived would decide whether they were married or in a civil union etc.. I decided to have the people of the region decide the issue via a propositiion.

Now that I have looked closer at the Senate and Region Act this is no longer an issue and it will be removed...

I'd just like to take a moment to thank those who've wished me good luck and those who have endorsed me.

Proposition 6: Candidate and Proposition Deadline Act
If passed this proposition will make it so all candidates must announce their candidacy at least 3 days before the first election day and all propositions must be be on the ballot by that same time.

Okay as I said the Marriage Act has been replaced due to the fact that the Senate has clearly laid down the law in this department. Instead I am putting forth this proposition to replace the old one.
