It's generally considered poor form to heckle at another party's convention—just saying.

I've noticed something about the logo. It's the Georgia State Seal with the Whitfield County Democratic Party's motto (Adam's their chair). It's funny. Labor was built with Adam in charge, and Labor died with Adam in charge.

Alright Laborites, let us begin the processes that need to be completed at this convention. Laborites are encouraged to continue to sign in even after the convention has begun. Here are some orders of business that we must attend to:

Draft a platform for this election cycle

Create a slate of a list of endorsements for the Labor Party

Review the existing bylaws and make changes if necessary

Vote on the location for the next convention

First, let's attend to the business of the creation of a platform. Here is a preliminary platform that I have just written:

Laborites have 48 hours to offer amendments to the platform. After an amendment is proposed, if there are no objections within 24 hours then it will automatically be approved if deemed friendly by the original author of the platform. If deemed unfriendly or objected to, it will be voted on by the convention.

I move to supporting the change of the Labor Platform to make it clear that middle and lower class family's will receive some form of tax cut under a Labor Government. Payment for Welfare programs shall be clear to one from the destruction of waste and fraud in the military sector, a overall decrease in defense funding, and a tax increase on those making what would be considered a "rich" salary.

VPH's amendment is friendly. Laborites have 24 hours to object to the amendment.

To propose such an amendment, modify the original text of the platform using bold text and strikethroughs. If you wish to see such an amendment enacted, you must act quickly, as the period for amendment proposals ends tonight.

I'm honored to address the Labor Party convention. I'm here to make sure that Labor can help elect a progressive President and change Atlasia.

Both me and my running mate Mike Wells are former Labor Party members. I was in fact your last federal elected office-holder. But while I no longer share your party registration, I still share your values. I will make sure criminals and terrorists can't exploit our gun laws to terrorize law abiding citizens. I will reform the financial sector and support efforts to prevent another disastrous financial crash. I wholehearedyedlt believe we can do better than 7% unemployment and I will reduce that rate and work to full employment with infrastructure spending that creates millions of good paying jobs, and do so while being fiscally responsible. I'll make sure those at the top pay their fair share in taxes and cut waste in the military budget. And I will have a responsible foreign policy that avoids a repeat of the Korea debacle. Like you, I believe Atlasia needs change. And only Mike and I can deliver that change. No other ticket will. Ultimately it isn't the registration that matters but the values. And with me you'll have a President who shares your values. So please, endorse my candidacy and let's go together and win this election. We can, and with your help we Will, change Atlasia!
