Response to recent political events

While the Lt. Governor amendment was defeated via a tie I'm not dissapointed in trying to bring back the position. I personally believe as we become a more active region, we will need the position to aid our governor regardless who they are or what ideology is.

In a more international scope, The Russian president Vladimir Putin has three musicians imprisoned just because he couldn't take a little criticism of his corrupt policies. These kids also invoked religious speech when they asked the Virgin Mary for aid. Prayer is not hooliganism. They were not inciting lawlessness. I'm asking President Napoleon and our diplomats to step in and grant these brave young people asylum until reforms granting further and total free speech rights are enacted in Russia. To the Duma, please step in and pass amendments to your Constuition safeguarding political and religious speech from criminal sanction.

I submited the Mideast Anti-Human Trafficking Bill aka the Nefarious Act. I believe protections need to be in place to get justice for victims of being trafficked away from those they love for the purpose of sex slavery. The boys in Nyman are too busy looking to find ways to tax you more when real issues of justice should be dealt with.

As one who came from an abusive home I can relate to an extent the shame and torment with these poor souls caught in a web of lies for the sake of another's greed. Though the abuse I endured is not like what they had to endure because they had to go through worse than what I did. This is one of those issues that we as citizens of the Mideast and hopefully of Atlasia can come together on. When I was in Missouri over the Christmas holidays, I saw a documentary called Nefarious: Merchant of Souls. It showed the tolerance of some governments culture of tolerance of trafficking. It made me nearly sick to my stomach seeing many governments letting the traffickers get away with shredding the dignity of a woman or child for dishonest or immoral gain. As a compassionate people Atlasians must lead by example in the realm of human rights. The right to be personally, economically, spiritually and political free. Regardless of politics we need to come together to protect our most vulnerable and be a have of refuge and healing when many in our world see them as less than what God created them to be.

Recent announcements for the upcoming presidential election haven't escaped my attention. The liberal stranglehold on power has still lead to higher taxes, more spending and over gutting of a national duty of protecting our citizens. While many know my noninterventionist beliefs I also believe in strong preparedness. As a hero of mine once said "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance". A proper defense must be a strong one. Pingvin would best suit this vision. Whoever the Whigs nominate as their presidential candidate will likely garner my first preferance, IB member And Speaker of the IDS house JBrase has also shown a sensible and pragmatic style that this conservative is intregued by. He could make a good president as well and will likely have my second preferance depending on how things go.

Over the weekend we lost a legend in Neil Armstrong. A man who quietly served yet the achievement he made should inspire many generations to come. Our Atlasian pursuit of technological progress while maintaining common sense values of working hard and liberality of charity (via the family the faith and nonprofits in the local communities)Will take Atlasia to greater heights.

Thank you and may God Be merciful to Atlasia and the Mideast

Atlasian Evangelical Communion, Atlasian Tea Party, Whig Liberty Caucus,

The Marriage Revenge Initiative is a bill that a element of liberals is now trying to pass via citizen initiative. Besides the system of socialized medicine, this is the worst attempt at legislation I've seen in my time of Atlasian service. They seek to fully pervert the whole of our human experience by denying traditional man-woman  marriage it's most noble position. I though the gay community just wanted "equality". I don't think Harvy Milk would want our society go down this rabbit hole. Only the most radical of libertines would dare come out in support of this abomitible of actions. This bill is an enemy of freedom with the most sinister of intentions. I urge all of conscience and reason to oppose this.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

They seek to fully pervert the whole of our human experience by denying traditional man-woman  marriage it's most noble position.

Come on bro.  "The whole of our human experience"?  You cannot be serious with that language.  If you go that route, you have to consider the many Kings who had plural wives two thousand years ago, such as Solomon with his 900 wives.  I don't support this initiative, but nor do I support your hyperbolic language.

I oppose plural marriage too Ben. Sometimes I use that kind of language to make a point. The proposed idea is an inversion of our history. I may be against gay marriage but this totally goes against the current law.

Zion, IL

Thank you for inviting me to your town to see some of the historical significance this town has had upon the entire country. This community was built on the values of faith and family. Atlasia shouldn't forget John Alexander Dowie.

It look like we have ourselves a race for governor. Both seeking the office have had experience in the office amongst other roles of service. Both have had an excellent record of activity which is commendable. Needless to say I feel this race has gotten way out of hand with personal attacks and negativity. We are better than this. We who serve should seek to be above the partisan fracas as much as we possibly can. Hence I'll be abstaining from making an endorsement.

In other news I'll be running for re-election to the Assembly. This has been an active session with several important laws were passed. Some I didn't support or vote for yet passed. Some I advocated for and fell short. Hopefully the Nefarious Act isn't one of those.  Protecting our women and children from predators who seek to profit off another's personal dignity is an important role for government. As I've heard it said, "The role of government is to protect liberty"

Let the campaigning fun begin
Thank you and may God save Atlasia

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Good luck on your re-election.

How are the hearings going for your possible new job?

Slowly I'm afraid. However it's likely I'll be confirmed. But I think tomorrow is the last day of the hearing.

I just put up a bill late last week. Chances that it passes are real good. It's the Anti-Human Trafficking bill. Plus I'm talks with various people on a budget proposal that will hopefully balance the ME budget.

Christian Rock Bands Endorse JCL

Several Christian bands mentioned their support of JCL in the upcoming Assembly race. Liquid6Teen, 12 Stones, and former Korn member Brian "Head" Welch.

"We may rock and roll heavy but we love Jesus and we believe JCL speaks our concerns over traditional values and the right to life."

JCL even got on stage with "Head" during his encore of "Adonai" and led the crowd in a collective headbang. JCL then says "I love to headbang for God. And it's ok to lose a little religious dignity and worship Jesus in a way most fundamentalists would be critical of. I've been headbanging most of my life and while I'm a little older than some here I still like to join in on a mosh pit."

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Was BRTD at this concert?

I can't confirm or deny if he was there.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

From the office of JCL

I've been given further information that makes me reconsider a previous and now deleted post. Thus I will be retracting my endorsement. I am truly sorry.

Pray, explain.

I retracted the endorsement for now because I'm sick of the negativity the race took.

Ben: I've made the "Joe Lieberman" statement about in the past. I wasn't trying to take a dig at you. It's what I respect about you despite policy differences.

Well it looks like the ERA will pass (crowd boos). It goes to show that folks want federal intervention regarding rights betwixt the sexes and ones sexual orientation.  We the silent majority know that this is not how it was ment to be. While we agree that no one should be discriminated against based on race, creed color, national origin, gender or political idealology, we deplore further government intrusion upon the rights of the regions. Furthermore to restore the proper balance of power between the national government and the regions I propose and seek aid of a senator the amending of Article 1 Section 5 Clause 5 to take out matters regarding marriage, divorce and adoption. Regional governments are better attuned and suited for these sensative matters. Regions are better to handle this because having the national government handling authority regarding marriage law could lead to draconian and obviously centralized control over an issue most critical to an extremely local matter.

Now I've finally seen a clear distinction in the governors race. One far beyond partisan bickering and personal attack. To some who may say a certain individual got to me over certian contraverseries is flat out false. Did I let the negative aspects of that race effect me? Honestly I did. The two men running for governor have fine records of activity and have served the Mideast and Atlasia well. I wish they would put their personal issues aside and work to build a better Mideast region. Needless to say I've finally made up my mind of a formal endorsement. Earlier this week I though I had made a decision but upon further deliberation I withdrew it. I've made further deliberation in this race and I can now say with no reservation that I endorse the current Governor ZuWo. It's not that I dislike former President and Governor Tmth, it that I agree with ZuWo more on certian matters of relations between the regions and the government in Nyman. I wouldn't be making this decision if they had been united in a recent decision. Come what may Tmfth knows if he wins and I'm re-elected I would work with him on things we both agree upon. The budget and elements of game reform. This coming weekend we have an important election. Get out and vote

Thank you and may God save Atlasia

From the office of JCL

In light of Clarence's resignation, should there be a primary amongst conservatives I will submit to such a primary. I respect Clarence and thank him for his service. We hope he chooses to return when he is ready and be an important conservative voice Atlasia needs.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

As I'm leaving the assembly at the end of the term I'd like to leave the people with this thought. What is it that the people fear so much that they run to those who believe that government is the solution to whatever the problems of our Atlasian society? Do they fear being responsible for themselves and thus being more governing of themselves, or is it that they fear that individuals do much more for charity on their own than what government can do through its repressive tax policies?

I believe Tmth will make a great governor. It's only fair that I didn't get his vote because I didn't endorse him. I still believe ZuWo was the better choice. Should 20RP12 win the Whig primary and defeat Franzi for the At-Large seat vacated by Clarence, I will rematch Senator Ben.

To those who think I'm an extremist, I could throw that word right back at you. However I'm not going to. Progressives around here tend to have a rather thin skin because they have a numerical advantage. Just because they have pulled a wave election back in our faces doesnt mean we conservatives and libertarians won't hold your feet to the fire. In RL my wing of the GOP will have to hold Mitts feet to the fire and see if he holds a line that says no more to extreme spending and tax hikes.

My service to the region and Atlasia is not over. We have a presidency to take back to a place of reason and conservative stewardship. They say Napoleon has been one of the best. Tell that to the unborn in the later stages of development that he wants to allow abortions for via a ruthless practice of partial birth abortion. Late term abortions should never be allowed any sort of legal support. Thus I will be proposing a citizens referendum to ban abortion after the 16th week totally and before only allow it in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. I hope to have your support on my future endeavors.


Thank you and may God be merciful to Atlasia

JCL: would you be interested in working to develop a comprehensive infrastructure plan focusing on these five points (below) so that we can further interregional cooperation on infrastructure?

1. Energy
2. Rail/High-speed rail/high-speed bus
3. Protected areas and expansion of our national park system
4. Broader transportation development (air and road development, as well as our current infrastructure maintenance and revenue measures such as infrastructure banks)
5. Water supply

I could support some of the ideas as long as they respect the property rights of land owners.
What is your idea on a high speed bus? Like a faster version of Greyhound?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

From the office of JCL

It has come to our attention that JCL was originally left off the ballot for the Special Election for the At-Large seat vacated by Clarence. We reject this egregious omission and thereby petition President Napoleon to remove the current SOFE. Franzi was elected by acclaim and I will recgonize that. Even if he would've been on the ballot from the start (as JCL was duely entitled to as a candidate) Franzi would've still won regardless. If the SOFE isn't removed within 48 hours, JCL will sue the administration and seek the removal of Napoleon and Nathan from office due to official corruption and neglegence. The results are recognized but this omission of a candidate the administration dislikes with a passion will not be tolerated.

It might be feasible to change the brown-colored lines to high-speed bus; it is still very much on the table.

How extensive would those changes be?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Calling for homly's resignation I felt was the fairer route than throwing this election into chaos. I don't see that as excessive. As I said in the statement, even if I would've been on the ballot from the start, Franzi was elected by acclimation. A change in the SoFE is only fair over this matter. As I also said the Napoleon/Nathan administration has 48 hours from when I made the statement to remove him or I will sue for their removal for official misconduct and conspiracy to commit official misconduct.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Calling for a new election is chaotic?  Um, okay.

We're nearly half way to the next at large election. Franzi was elected. That isn't disputed. It's the negligence that must be accounted for.

A change in the SoFE is only fair over this matter.

Why?

It's a matter of somebody must take responsibility. If homely doesn't resign or the administration doesn't fire him I will sue to remove Napoleon and Nathan from office.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

The SoFE will not be fired. Please sue though, I could use more political donations from my lawyer pals.

I am sorry that mistakes were made. My administration plans to resolve this independently.

Firing the SOFE is the only fair and right thing to do.

Prediction: The Supreme Court will rule in JCL's favor and appoint Young Tweed to the presidency.

Tweed gets nothing. The highest ranked senator would assume presidency till the next president is installed.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

I have no seditious intent.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

From the office of JCL

It's almost 9pm EDT and there has been nothing done regarding the termination of homely. I hereby petition the Atlasian senate to impeach Napoleon and Nathan for official misconduct in violation of Article 1 section 4 Clause 6 of the Atlasian Constuition.

I didn't want the situation to come to this. However the administration has failed to properly address the
disenfranchisement leveled upon JCL by the administration even if by omission.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Nope, not happening.

I'm trying to defend the senate against an encroachment of its due authority by the administration Ben. If Hagrid's bill passes, I will withdraw this

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

How is Hagrid's bill unconstuitional?
