Southeast Governors Thread.

[??????????]

Hello my fellow S.E. Atlasians!

This will be my thread to post news/info/new laws, etc. for the SE Region. So if you live in the SE you need to check this thread for related materials. Thanks.

My first act as SE Governor is to appoint WiseGuy as Lt. Gov. Welcome WiseGuy.

Great news.  Any reason why you're in Britain? 

I'm on holiday. Staying at Als' house. It's a nice little...coal mine. ehehe

My second act as Governor of the SE Region is to immediately nullify The Marriage Equity Act. I feel that the people of the Southeast have not had the right to voice their opinion on this matter, the proper manner in which this issue should be addressed and that's at the polls. I feel this Act oversteps the bounds of the federal government and is a clear violation of region rights. The southeast will no longer recognize any "gay marriage" as a legal contract of any sort. I would ask for a citizen of the southeast to propose a bill dealing with this matter, if he/she wishes, so it can be voted for by the citizens of the southeast.

Might I remind you that in the Powers of the Senate and the Regions amendment the power to set and define marriage is delegated to the Senate not to the Regions. Thus all of your actions are unconstitutional, are illegal and treason against the Constitution of Atlasia.

I feel the federal govt of Atlasia has overstepped its bounds in regard to power. Federal power is getting out of control and I plan on crushing an obnoxious and instrusive govt. before it starts. I am defending the right of the people to have a voice and stopping a Senatorial tyranny.

You intend to stop the federal government from overstepping it's bounds(which it isn't, check the Powers Amendment) by overstepping the bounds on your own power? You have no authority whatsoever to nullify laws, be they federal or regional - neither the federal nor Southeastern Constitution grants you that power.

I'm giving myself that authority. Its a power reserved to the regions. And I'll stand by it.

I am mobilizing all Southeastern militia and whatever naval ships we have in our control. Our troops will stand by waiting for a decision by the courts of Atlasia. We hold no hostile intent in this action though we are concerned about the other regions mobilizing their militias.

Thank you.

My next act will be to nullify any southeastern law for "recall elections" in the Southeast region. No petition for any sort of recall will be recognized by the southeast government.

That is all.

Dear Southeastners,

I have come here today to speak to yall on the current situation. I must now announce that I will back down off the nullification of recall law. I feel I let myself to far so I apologize for that silliness. I understand Mr Dibbles concern and out of respect of him and the southeast I will give that "fight" up. However, I do stand by my actions in regards to the Civil Unions law. I do respect the courts decision in this matter although I don't agree with it.

I am asking Jake to now reopen the courts as I feel Atlasia can not afford a long, drawn out and violent civil war. We must stick together as a nation and I strongly believe the union must be preserved at this time. I would ask that militias outside the southeast to be withdrawn. When that occurs I will then recall our militia. I will not however dissolve our forces while we have an active military sitting on our borders ready to march in. I think this is a far compromise and I would wish for Alcon to ask the troops to withdrawl.

In regards to Harry. I am giving a full pardon to Harry at this time. I feel that he has not committed any true crime and our disagreements are more philisophical then legal. Harry is a good man and although we often disagree I can not stand the thought of my friend being thrown under the jail.

I would hope that the senate will take into consideration means to change the current marriage law so that the governors of the regions hands will be untied. I respect the rule of law and I ask all the citizens of the southeast to continue to respect and honor the rule of law. Any riots or unrest will immediately be quelched by me as a means of returning to normalcy.

Thank you and good day.
