Question:
Do you approve my work so far?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Nice suburban place.

[Pingvin]

On the Issues:
Abortion: Life is given us by the God. Only allow abortion in cases where the mother's life is at risk. Ban partial-birth abortion.

Goverment Spending: Deficit spending should be outlawed as overall government spending is reduced to minimal levels. Use less - receive more.

Education: School vouchers for everybody. Get the federal government out of education completely!

Energy: Reduce dependence from oil and coal, especially foreign. More research on alternate energy sources.

Enviroment: The environment is very important. Find market based solutions to environmental problems so our children can live in a clean and safe country.

Gun control: Any gun control legislation is an attack to safety of Atlasia. No restrictions on firearms!

Healthcare: The health care system should be completely private, it isn't a responsibility of the federal government.

Immigration: Stop all immigration completely. Deport illegal aliens and build massive security fence on Mexican and Canadian borders. Accept a detailed plan to fight illegal border crossing.

Defense Spending: Defense spending should be reduced so as to focus on other things. No overseas deployments without a reason.

Iran: We should prepare to attack Iran but be sure that we have the proper intelligence. Current regime is too radical and dangerous to own nuclear programme.

Military Intervention: We should intervene when our national interests are threatened. NO to resource wars!

Role of Goverment: The smaller and less activist the Government, the better the country. Government can run the military, the police, and the courts - that's it.

Trade: We need to encourage businesses to do whatever is necessary to generate profit, but consider new free trade deals VERY carefully and create incentives to keep jobs in Atlasia.

Tax Rates: A single rate flat tax for citizens, and a very low tax rate for corporations, but eliminate all loopholes and remove all small hidden taxes.

Marriage: Marriage is between a man and a woman. Support a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages.

Social Security: Let workers privately invest all retirement payments. Social Security System as now is a complete joke and should be reformed.

Unions: Unions are undermining our economy by blackmailing companies to overpay their workers. Find a solution to balance labor demands with business concerns.

War at Terror: We should not hesitate to use military force against terrorism, but NO to limiting civil liberties at home.

My Immigration Plan:
10-year moratorium on all legal immigration at a level between 150,000 and 250,000 per year

A 2,000-mile (3,200 km) double-line security fence between the Atlasia and Mexico

A federally legislated end to all social welfare benefits for illegal aliens, except for emergency medical services

A crackdown on major businesses that chronically hire illegal aliens and the elimination of deductibility for all wages paid to illegals

A policy allowing immigrants to bring in only wives and non-adult children

Ban of dual citizenship in the Atlasia

A deportation program beginning with all aliens convicted of felonies and every gang member who is not a citizen of the Atlasia

[Pingvin]

My Game Reform Plan:
1. Extend Presidential Term to one six-month term.

2. Senate Reform - At-large senate seats abolished, instead two additional seats to the regions (15 members)

3. Set Senate terms to coincide with all presidential elections

4. Appoint all former Presidents and Vice Presidents to the new office of "National Senator"

5. Establish term limit in the Regional Legislatures and Senate - 1 year.

6. Extend SC Judges term to 1,5 year.

7. Extend Supreme Court to 10 members.

8. Fixes number of Regional Legislators - 10 members.

9. 50 Regional Legislators should meet 2 sessions in the year as members of National Assembly. One session = one week.

10. Cabinet Reform
   10.1 - Secretary of Federal Elections renamed into the Head of Federal Electoral Comittee.
   10.2 - Register General renamed into the Head of Federal  Statistics Service.
   10.3 - Secretary of Internal Affairs position is abolished and his duties are re-shared between Secretary of National Defense, Secretary of State Treasury and Chief of Staff.

[Pingvin]

Bumpin' for re-election.

[Barnes]

That's quite an extensive and interesting platform, but what, may I ask will this change accomplish?

10. Cabinet Reform
   10.1 - Secretary of Federal Elections renamed into the Head of Federal Electoral Comittee.
   10.2 - Register General renamed into the Head of Federal  Statistics Service.

TOWNHALL! TOWNHALL!
I'm ready to answer all your questions!

Why hasn't the IDS invaded the Midwest, claimed it as it's own, while playing Iron Maiden's The Trooper in the background?

Why hasn't the IDS invaded the Midwest, claimed it as it's own, while playing Iron Maiden's The Trooper in the background?

Because I don't listen to Iron Maiden, that's why.

We're currently having problems with ammo.

    But The Trooper is about a soldier getting killed, which isn't exactly appropriate in an anthem for imperial conquest. I would suggest Asator by Amon Amarth instead.

I found a solution - we'll attack you from the air with the Aces High in the background. I'll lead the first squadron - my plane is painted black with Jolly Roger and Confederate flags on the wings

NO CLEAR LEADER; WRITE-INS GAINING THE STEAMI can say that this race is one of the greatest that I will remember. Main reasons are the candidates:
1. Clarence - Veteran who is very popular among conservatives and conservative-leaning indies.
2. Earl - the guy who de facto represents far-left of Atlasian political spectrum.
3. (W) Oakvale - liberal icon who can very well become a first (correct me if I'm wrong) person elected to senate as write-in.
4. (W) Jbrase - a well-known politican who is popular for his honesty and multi-partisan work.
And one more note: winner of this senate race would most likely be our next president in June.

OUR CONGRATULATIONS

[ZuWo]

It seems a bit early to me to make such a projection, but I certainly wouldn't complain about such a result.

However, I was running for re-election at the time.  Had a late change of mind about retiring.

[bgwah]

Ebowed was elected District 5 Senator as a write-in in like 2006 or something.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Also note CultureKing, August 2008. This may be the first time a write-in has won a Senate special election, though.
