The Office of JCL

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

It's election weekend and I'm urging all Federalists to be active in voting and encouraging your friends to as well.  The Cathcon/Spamage ticket is in need of your votes as is Goldwater, your regional races as well as myself in the Mideast.

Happy voting.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Welcome to day two of voting. If you have voted thank you. If you haven't yet please do so.

For the Mideast Region Senate race. If you are a Federalist we can't afford to split our first preference. Splitting that vote will hand the seat to hands that are not friendly to our intrests.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Splitting that vote will hand the seat to hands that are not friendly to our intrests.

Now I'd disagree with that.

It wasn't in reference to you. I've openly asked those who first preference me to second preference you.

From the office of JCL

The third day of voting is fast approaching. If you haven't voted please do so and if you're in the Mideast please consider supporting me for regional senator and giving our current senator Ben your second preference. This is a conservative yet pragmatic region and I would keep that tradition going. There are folks including former presidents who would like to
say that my representing the fine folks of the region would move things back. That's not true. If elected I would promote enviromental stewardship while respecting property rights and advocate for women, vets and kids. You are not getting an extremist. You are getting a person with principals and values who can come together with those of other views for thw better of the region and nation as a whole. Ultimately that is up to you the people.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Good luck JCL! You've run a great campaign for the seat, even if you lost.

Congrats on your victory. Hopefully you serve people of the Midwest well.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

After taking a few days to think since the last election I've decided not to run for the Mideast assembly next month. However don't take this as me withdrawing from my work to promote the conservative movement in Atlasia. My eyes are set higher. There is greater work that the conservative movement needs to do inside itself and in the nation as a whole. A coherent and well articulated set of ideas and principals that individuals can come together on.

Lets get to work.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

From JCL to all Atlasian Catholics

You have chosen well in the choosing of Pope Francis. May he guide the Catholic faithful and show those of all faiths Christian or otherwise the message that Jesus brought to us.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

From the Office of JCL

After some time away from the Atlasian body politick, I feel refreshed and ready to serve the people once again.  With that I encourage you to vote NAY on the Federal Amendment Amendment. This would make amending the constituition much easier than it should be.

Russiaville, IN

Thank you for coming out to the town square to hear my announcement.

The Mideast region is a vibrant region one being governed by reason rather than inflamed passions. Where the principals of liberty and moral restraint are valued rather than an anything goes mentality that peremeates the folks in Nyman who show no respect to the business owners and their employees alike with draconian labor laws which violate the rights of the individual laborer as well as the rights of the job creator. They show no respect towards those who seek to bear arms for hunting or for self defence by limiting magazine capacity and raising the taxes to purchase these items.Even our taxes are too high for everybody. You shoud be able to keep as much of what you earn as possible as opposed to the current tax policies which penalize the prosperous and the needy alike. Which is why I will propose my Detroit Plan if elected.

This race will not be easy.  A fellow Federalist is also in the race. So we'll be involved in a primary race to determine who will have the backing of the party. TJ has an excellent history of service that gives him an advantage. I'm best known for my work to protect our kids against traffickers via the Nefarious Act which has crossed over to the Northeast.

Let the fun of the race begin

The Danger of the Status Quo

Recently an individual of some distinction chose to say that I would drag the region and the nation backwards. That is the farthest thing from the truth. Do they not realize that I desire economic freedom and prosperity that shames anything they and the current administration could come close to imaging. I don't discount that Atlasia is center-left. Needless to say however the Mideast is a center-right region and as such should have that kind of representation in the Senate. As much as they say that there is an extreme right there is also an extreme left. Both are equally dangerous to the liberty we all seek. They fail to realize that all sides have great points that can contribute to the betterment of us all. I seek a fair way. If you do as well please join me and make the Mideast and Atlasia better than we came to know her.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

We recently heard and confirmed the disturbing rumor that Assad of Syria was using weapons of mass destruction. Now there is a debate regarding the rebels. What many Atlasians may not know is the rebels are just as sinister. They are under the authority of none other than the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Quaida. They have no regard for the human and civil rights of those who dissent from their warped view of mans relation with their creator or their fellow man. As such I seek an audience with any Christian or other oppressed minority who is not aiding Assad before the UN Security council. Let them petition the security council for aid. Don't get this twisted. I'm a noninterventionist in philosophy to foreign matters. However if Assad or the rebels even so much as sneeze on Israel, I fear the aftermath will be none other than Isaiah 17

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

A Matter of Conscience

As many of you have heard TJ will be the Federalist nominee. This means he'll have the party's machine backing him in this race. For that congrats TJ. However I'm not leaving this race. While I'm a Federalist at heart I must finish what I started with regards to this campaign even without the benefit of a party to help me. I've spent my entire life with my back against the wall always having to fight back like I have nothing left to lose. This will be no different. So if you have any further questions please pm me on policy. I'd love to hear from you

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Endorsed!

Congrats on your appointment to the assembly.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Its day two of the elections and I've just voted. Don't forget to vote. Especially if you're a Federalist or part of the Union of National Democrats for Atlasia.

For those in the Mideast Region who haven't voted yet, please get out and consider voting for me for senate. I'm your independent voice for Free People, Free Markets and a Free Society. If I'm not your first cup of tea I suggest voting for TJ. He has an excellent record of service for the citizens of the Mideast and Atlasia as a whole and would make a great senator.

There he goes Again

My fellow culture warriors,

Outgoing Secretary Polnut is at it again. This time he attacks the Russian leader Vladimir Putin over singing legislation limiting gay rights further. While I don't usually back Putin on policy especially concerning Israel but on this I have to applaud the Russian attempts to keep this destructive lifestyle in check. Do I fully agree with the drastic authoritarian measures, no. Could he be looking at this as a national health issue? I don't know but to denegrate a major world leader and his country's policies over such a sensative issue is not wise when trying to build productive working relationships with the international community. Not everybody holds to your "enlightened" sensibilities. I don't but I'm not as drastic as the Russians. Respect their national sovereignty on how they handle this internally. Where we should work together is rescuing women and kids out of the hands of the human trafficker.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

This is ridiculous. The contents of the Secretary's private conversations should have never been leaked in the first plac.  And I'm sure the only reason it leaked is because of you and the rest of the vast right wing conspiracy attempting to discredit the political achievements of the outgoing administration. Shame on you.

My folks had nothing to do with the leak. There's no doubt Polnut and I have some serious differences and he's actively made it personal to hinder my advancing to higher office but I slammed Putin as much as Polnut in my article.

Nix, I'm sorry that you choose to side with Polnut though I'm not surprised. For all of Putins flaws policy wise I believe he's right on this one and the administration is wrong.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

I will be running for Mideast Assembly this month. I'll have my platform up in the next couple days.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

We offer our deepest sympathies to Senator Scott as to the reason of his departure. In spite of his principaled liberalism we found ourselves on the same side on quite a few things. Namely our pragmatic ideas on helping inmates on a path to honest citizenship and protecting our kids against the trafficker and as a place of refuge for the victim who seeks healing and wholeness. Hope you are able to return soon.

Also you may've seen that this now a campaign for two races. I am standing in for a recently vacated at-large senate seat in addition to the Mideast Assembly race this weekend. There are times when Atlasia needs a choice and not an echo of the current status quo which is failing the people and has led to what is going on in the Pacific region. For the naysayers who think I won't represent all Atlasians that is a thought that needs to rendered nonexistent. I would represent all Atlasins fairly and justly. Our dark days are due to mistrust and fear. Regardless of conservativs fear of new ways and ideas of doing things or the progressive being resistant to tried and true ideas. We need both to promote the cause of human freedom.  Do we desire the upward trend to the maximum amamount of liberty within traditional law and order or towards the ash heap of despotism? If you seek the former, that cause of liberry, I seek your support.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

As a candidate for the vacant At-Large Senate, would you be willing pledge to check every senate related thread every day, and if not then perhaps every two days?

Is this part of an effort to promote senate activity?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Don't forget to vote in the Mideast Assembly race. Looks like we've got a good one.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Houston,  Texas

Its been an interesting week. I wasn't expecting to be in Texas. I was expecting to be campaigning in West Virginia for a seat in my regional assembly. Yet times required that I travel a little more extensively for a cause just as important and that is that of putting another Federalist into the Senate in Nyman. I'd like that opprotunity. With the increasing influance of the Labor party and the recent death of the Liberal Party a greater counterweight is needed. Regardless of if that's myself or Maxwell as Federalists representing you in Nyman.

Energy..... its what powers our daily lives from our cars, trucks and motorcycles to our industries and military might. Some think the idea of an all of the above policy is crazy and want to limit the kinds of fuel sources we utilize. I must disagree. Coal is an indispensable source of energy that can be used and still find ways to minimize the enviromental impact. So I would oppose the moratorium on the building of coal processing plants until these alternative sources can be proven their effectivness. We should make further emphasis on natural gas and possibly a transition to natural gas engines which burn cleaner and are more efficient than standard engines.

Nuclear energy when utilized for peaceful purposes is a powerful force for good. Needless to say there are enviromental concerns that should be addressed. As such the question to my opponents is what about putting research into the feasibility of putting our nuclear waste onto rockets and shooting it into the sun. Honestly I'm not sure of keeping it in our deserts will be a wise idea going into the long term.

What about our research into cold fusion? How much promise do we have in Hydrogen-1 and Helium-3? While we take further study into these we should find ways to utilize our current technology to fullest extent while finding ways to further minimizing enviromental impact.

Thank you for your time and be blessed

Hello Phoenix,

Its good to come to a city that has shown growth inspite of the crisis of government in the Pacific region. It doesn't hurt to have had one Barry Goldwater as a famous citizen statesmen of the past as one of the great state of Arizona. Many of you have been adversely affected as well by the fiscal irresponsibility that has invaded Nyman through Labour control. Look at Detroit for a lesson of what happens when one party is dominant for decades. It doesn't allow for new ideas to come and allow for progress in things that need to progress naturally.

With that we need serious change in the halls of Nyman and with that change some things government does now it will not do when I'm done with the reforms needed. Most know of my opposition to progressive taxation as it is a model to force charity from the rich via government force. If a rich person wants to give of their abundance they should want to and with gregarious joy to a church or other private charity. 

A return to a healthcare system that is market driven will free the government to pay down the debt and all Atlasians could have an efficent high speed rail system that would be the envy of the world. Sadly we can't have things like this when the government is still in the red. We can do this via private medical savings accounts with the option to put all of what you would pay in FICA taxes into that account. 

Many of you have heard of my Detroit Plan. For those who haven't its a flatter version of what we know to be the Clinton taxrates. If we must have a progressive tax system it should be utilized to promote the maximum amount of growth possible with the goal to reduce and eventually eliminating the debt. With that a better Atlasia can emerge.

Don't forget if you are a Federalist to vote JCL in the Federalist Primary

Be blessed

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

One of the few things Polnut and I agree on except we differ on the method of its execution.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Ford Field, Detroit MI

It's so good to be here in the Motor City again (crowd cheers)

My hometown and this city share in a great Atlasian tradition called the automotive industry. Ever since Elwood Haynes took the first drive down what we call today Boulevard Rd we have all been looking to get where we need to go just a little faster than before. The biggest concern I see ahead for Detroit and the Mideast as a whole is the government keeping the economic engine from purrin' like a kitten. Cities like this one, Kokomo IN, Cleveland OH and others are still struggling while the government milks us out of finances, through egregiously high, personal and corporate income taxes to use for projects that individuals families and the regions themselves are best suited for. The big spenders in Nyman are wanting to put a tax burden on us that is unreasonable and hinders job growth. Many of you know of my opposition to an income based tax system. If we want tax reform we must prepare to offer an alternative plan that will benefit all in the long run. Under my tax plan corporations will only pay a 15 percent rate. As for individuals it would look like this until we get out of debt.

9,500-20,000 5%
20,001-100,000 10%
100,001-500,000 20%
500,001-5,000,000 30%
5,000,001+ 40 %

Gifts and prize winnings will not be taxed period.

The long term goal is to get to a uniform flat tax system that would be fair untill we can change from an income based system of taxation to one of consumption.

I know some may think that this would be extreme but the rates under Fmr. President Clinton hold some similarities to this plan.

In the 90's a regulation called the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed. This action, among others, led to the current financial crises. The repeal lead to taxpayers having to take one on the chin so failed bankers could get away with their godless ponzi schemes. I put my sword in the ground saying no more to any industry who thinks it has the right to receive government bailouts without consequence. That is why Glass-Steagall must be restored as law. One thing both Senator Ben and I would both lead on.

I am an avowed conservative in the mold of Grover Cleveland, Calvin Coolidge, and the Tafts of Ohio, not in the mold of the Bushes, Richard Nixon or Cheney and Rumsfeld. I am a fan of Ronald Reagan, Ike, JFK, Pierre DuPont IV, Walter Jones and yes Ron Paul, David Mcintoish, Mike Pence and Jackie Walorski. Both sides have borne the taint of militarism outside the tenants of the Christian Just War Doctrine. To President Polnut and the members of the senate, we don't want any part of the Syrian Civil War whatsoever. Get us out of there immediately.

I still see hope for the city of Detroit and all the industrial cities of the Mideast and Atlasia. Isn't it right that this is the home of the Detroit Lions. A team being a sign that this city is coming back from a seeming long death. If only my God, who isn't dead but roars as a lion, would be so merciful to my Chicago Cubs (crowd laughs as they see a JCL surrogate hand him a guitar.

I'd like to end our time together with something a little different. A song

Do you see it coming
A rumble in the streets
Freedom's song is rising
It's meeting no defeat......




Thank you and may God and Dave Bless you

This would be the Detroit Plan Superique

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

As a candidate for the vacant At-Large Senate, would you be willing pledge to check every senate related thread every day, and if not then perhaps every two days?

Is this part of an effort to promote senate activity?

Yes it is.

I would make the effort to check all of them at least every other day Yankee.
