X People's Speaker NC Yankee - Federalist Party Chairman.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If this goes here, I'd like to request the endorsement of the Federalist Party for the Senate race in the region of Fremont.

Yes this does go here.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

We have two more days for both nomination requests and for primary speeches, I would really prefer not to have to delay the primary election, but I also insist on some primary candidacy speeches.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Come on now, you guys are being extremely low energy this cycle. If you want our votes, earn them with making speeches.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Okay much better on the speeches. Both myself and dfw have speeches planned but we will probably do them once the vote is over. Since we had to push back a week and a confluence of events kept me from post this Friday Morning, I am shortening this vote to 48 hours.

Just for clarification Federalists are automatically endorsed, in multi-candidate races non-Federalists can still be endorsed even if there are Federalists running. This can be bypassed in the event that a Federalist is unendorsed, in which case it would be treated as if no federalist was running.

So apparently the calendar says the election is not this coming weekend like I originally thought (its the following weekend), so I will be extending the time for voting back to the originally planned 72 hours.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Well dfw you did kind of begin the streak of "uniform tickets" so ironically, you became a victim of your own success. A year and a half of one party tickets has shifted expectations in that regard.

Esteemed Delegates of the Convention -

Every campaign I have been a part of lately, I have started out with a set number of events, speeches, town halls etc. that I had wanted to hold before it is over. When I declared so early, I had figured that for once I would have a chance to burn myself out and be satisfied with having made something like twenty speeches. Well I think I can safely say I managed one of those, and a bit too early As I have long said it is not my desire to merely do this just so that I might enjoy it, not that posting walls of texts even brings me any joy anymore, but it is my goal to ensure that what we do in this game involves people, that it brings people to the table. Everyone has different passions, different interests and different styles, and thus not everyone is going to be interested in the same things or doing things the same way. However, we have dozens of people in this game, and well over one hundred registered members. I see in them tremendous opportunity as well as wasted potential. Perhaps it is a fleeting, hopeless cause but I am not of a mind to abandon or lose hope. I would not have started this campaign two months ago if that were the case.

I ran for President because I do believe strongly in both a more welcoming and a more engaged Atlasia. To succeed we must respect each other and to get people willing to take risks, we must value everyone's contributions to the game and give them reason to want to participate more. If I thought I could pass a bill to dictate this, or some constitutional amendment to force this to occur artificially, I would have done it years ago. Only the people can make this game succeed and it is only through the people that we can drive and encourage activity. The House has pushed through more bills than any previous House in Atlasia, yet debate still lags, the Senate has blown the roof off even more than the House in this regard. On the other hand there are those that think that only drama drives the game, and yes it has its place but I don't think it is what many came here for and I can state firmly that a number have left never to return because of it.

You may call it naive or wishful thinking but I think our answer has to lie not with government, not with resorting to the heavy handedness of old, but with inspiring and motivating the people in a positive and constructive manner to achieve policy objectives. I, like many of you, want a budget that isn't going to eat our children alive. Like many of you, I want to see a resolution to conflict abroad without further escalation, while protecting those most impacted. Just like most of you in this crowd, I want a society that respects and values human life and dignity while still preserving a free choice, regionalism and personal responsibility. I like many of you, want a strong education system with the regions taking the lead and the federal government in an engaged and supportive role via the Department of Internal Affairs. To achieve all of this and more was why I set out on this journey too months ago and it is why I now accept your nomination for President.

If we come together, as Federalists, as conservatives, as libertarians, as moderates, as populists and independents, if we come together as Atlasians and determine that we can have a responsible budget, that we can have a balanced and restrained foreign policy, that we can preserve market choice and regionalism while addressing societal ills and most of all that we can have a strong and vibrant game that welcomes and values each and every player, then I encourage each and every player of this game both in the Federalist Party and outside the Federalists, to come together and consider giving me your vote this weekend.

Thanks and Dave Bless!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

And since the number of declared Federalists dropped to four with Leinad's withdrawal, Rfayette becomes auto-endorsed.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I am giving 48 hours for declarations and nominations for leadership positions, as well as city nominations for the October Convention Site!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I of course accept Fhtagn's nomination to be Chairman once again. I got so engrossed in wiki updating last night that by the time I extracted myself, I had to get to sleep.

Also once this is done can we please start using the term "vice chair" instead of "vice chairman"?

Gender neutral titles ftw

They are already titled as such in the bylaws.

I'm aware, but you still keep saying "Vice Chairman"

Force of habit, Madam Vice Chairman.

Calculate the city vote for me.
