Franzl/Swedish Cheese campaign CONCESSION SPEECH

[Sewer]

I'll have to think about who I will vote for. Either way, good luck to you Franzl!

Surely Midwestereners support their own.

A Midwesterener is runing?

Yes.

Who?

Your regional Senator, MasterJedi. You should probably know that.

MasterJedi is not my senator.

MasterJedi

No.

[Marokai Backbeat]

You will of course have my second preference.

Best of luck to you Franzl, my friend!

[Vepres]

MasterJedi is a MWINO (ma-whine-oh)

[Antonio the Sixth]

I'm glad to see that DA finally chose to run independently to the RPP. I'm not gonna chose you as first preference, but your presence on the ballot is necessary.

[Franzl]

I want to say thank you to all the people that expressed their endorsements, their support and their best wishes.

I'm happy that we have a competitive race going, but I also hope that the partisan fighting will stop so that we can start debating the issues that matter to Atlasians.

We owe it to our citizens to try and work in their best interest. That is our main purpose as public servants.


I just wanted to mention that I plan on introducing my running mate sometime around next weekend. Oh the suspense!

[AndrewTX]

I would like to wish Franzl the best of luck in the race. He has been a great friend to me, and helped me a lot in my past Presidential campaign. Good luck friend!

[DownWithTheLeft]

Will Franzl counter with an RPP member as VP?

That would be a shocker, although I think every RPP member has already declared support for Jedi

[Alexander Hamilton]

The question is would the RPP ostracize a member for participating on another party's ticket. I'd hope not.

[Alexander Hamilton]

I'd lol if it were AndrewCT.

AndrewCT was not ostracised and trust me those of us in the DA on the forum right now are trying to work out who told him privately otherwise...

I wasn't intending to imply that. The RPP is frequently accused of ostracizing members who disagree with one or two powerful members.

[Хahar 🤔]

Maybe because your secret bylaw bans voting for non-endorsed candidates?

[Alexander Hamilton]

Maybe because your secret bylaw bans voting for non-endorsed candidates?

I guess Duke should be punished. And me.

Yeah, you ought to get on that.

I'd be thrilled if he picked you or any of the others because it seems a change in camp hasn't changed your views.  As I pointed out, you have been the most conservative senator and certainly have a better voting record than NCYank.  It would actually be that kind of selection that could cause the RPP to second preference the DA ticket.  However, I suspect that it will be someone boring and mundane like HappyWarrior or Afleitch or something that the RPP will run to the hills because of

When I read sh**t like that it is liable to put me in a very bad mood and make my insanity start showing again. If its a problem, run against me, if not, Shut the f**k up!!!! . We can't all be rich Joizeyites.

[Alexander Hamilton]

If RB is the running mate Franzl may get a second pref from me.

[tmthforu94]

Good luck Franzl! Unless you pick someone I really don't like as VP, you'll get my 2nd preference.

As I've said before I won't be running for anything this cycle.

[RI]

As always, Franzl, you have my utmost support and endorsement.

I actually have the feeling you will be quite pleased with the pick, although I assure you it had nothing to do with RPP preferences, but rather with Franzl-compatibility, if you would.

I know who it is.

I'm very happy to hear that....I appreciate it

Update:

I'm looking forward to the bill about the pornography age that will soon be on the Senate floor. It is my intention to attempt to amend it to completely eliminate the minimum age instead of changing it from 18 to 14. I am aware that some people (one senator in particular) won't be pleased with that idea, but I don't see anything that would make such a move irrational. I believe that restricting freedom can only be an option if there are legitimate negative consequences that are the result of certain behavior, such as banning smoking in public, due to the health risks imposed through second hand smoke.

I also wish to state that I completely oppose the current bill illegalizing abortion in Atlasia. I was at one point "pro-life", and indeed, I still find abortion to be a disgusting practice, but I no longer believe that it is in the best interest of Atlasians to criminalize it. We certainly need to work to reduce the number of abortions that take place, but I won't support such a draconian method.


Oh, and I'll be making my running mate announcement on Monday evening. Feel free to start the guessing game
