Second Peace Party National Convention (Con over, 3rd in Virginia City, NV)

[Pericles]

I request the Peace endorsement for my candidacy for the House. While there are Peace candidates too, a high preference for my candidacy would be greatly appreciated. I share many Peace values; my foreign policy views are dovish and we should seek to avoid conflict overseas. On economics, I am progressive and think the government can, and should, play a positive role in the economy. I find the present levels of income inequality and unemployment in Atlasia to be unacceptable, and I will fight day and night to reduce them and create a fairer and more prosperous Atlasia for all Atlasians. I am broadly socially liberal, and I am also an environmentalist-and will oppose efforts to roll back environmental regulations. I'm not perfect, but I have learned from my mistakes-and promise to be an active, dedicated, progressive Representative if I'm elected. It would be an honor to have your support and your vote in this election. Thank you for your time.

Good Evening Peace Party members, I am sorry North Carolina Yankee could not be here but he is presently at a Woodstock reenactment! (He is not actually chillin but rather working at the moment ) I am here to duly request on behalf of North Carolina Yankee, the 2nd preference endorsement for the Yankee/dfw ticket, we are respectfully ceding the endorsement for 1st preference to the Lumine/Siren ticket given that its amazing founder, Siren, is on the ticket. That being said, we as a ticket understand how awful war is and also hope for a speedy end to the war in North Korea. We understand as well however that there are certain tasks that must be accomplished before the war can come to an end. Part of why I as a person want to be Vice President is to make up for some of the mistakes I made as President, including my resignation which indirectly led to the start of this awful war. I have advocated for non-interventionist policies throughout my career in Atlasia. I helped lobby President Leinad to veto new condemnations on Russia which may have led to an escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and dragged us closer to the brink of war, I proposed ending our alliance with Saudi Arabia as they continue to bomb Yemen and continue to escalate various conflicts in the Middle East and continue to abuse civil rights. Furthermore, during Yankee's brief Presidency, he took steps to ensure we were less involved in the Yemen conflict mentioned prior to. Both North Carolina Yankee and myself have a history of making sure Atlasia is not involved in any more conflicts and withdrawing from some of the conflicts we are involved with now. Our doors and especially my door will always be open to Peace Party members starting in July if elected as I understand and stand with the Peace Party on foreign policy and also support that it helped start a new movement in the left wing to make the left wing even more non-interventionist then it has been. Thank you Peace Party members and we do hope for your 2nd preference endorsement!

Members and delegates of the Peace Party,

As a lot of you might know, I have had the honor and privilege of knowing Siren and Lumine since they both started out in this game.  Particularly, it was Siren who was among the first to join my shortly-lived Light Party.  The Light Party stood for much of what the Peace Party does today: non-intervention, progress in science, sustainable economic growth that promotes eco-responsibility, equal opportunity, and the freedom for all people to live their lives in accordance with their values.  Today it is Peace - the party founded by her - that best enshrines these principles, and that's why I'm proud to be addressing this convention as your new Chair.

And as Chair, it is my honor to duly endorse this ticket, for both sides have fought for what we stood for when this country needed them most: Siren against reckless foreign military interventions, and Lumine for the protection of our environment.  Indeed, I do believe that with Senator Lumine, Peace has had an ally in someone who cares for our environment, voting to keep the commonsense tax on carbon on our books, in addition to a multitude of protections that the Atlasian right has been targeting.

Furthermore, I have no doubt that Lumine and Siren are the most qualified of all the tickets.  Both of them have earned the trust and respect of the greater Atlas community, as each of them moderate one of two of our sister sites.

Both of them are tested leaders, and together in the White House they will usher in an era of pragmatic leadership that represents Atlasia at its best.

My friends and colleagues, I urge you to vote for the team that will, truly, make Atlasia great again.

[Virginiá]

Here ye here ye, distinguished members of the Peace Party,

While out looking for the Chinese food place I ordered takeout from, I took a wrong turn and ended up in this convention (I always wear my nicest dresses to pick up food). Before I knew it, someone was pushing me up these stairs and here I am. It is then I noticed two wonderful politicians I know running for office.

Lumine has been a voice of reason in the heavens of Atlasia, and a benevolent Supreme Overlord of the territories of Atlasia and the Land of Atlas Election Games. His edicts have been fair, and input impartial. He is a guiding light in a storm of uncertainty.

Siren is a goddess of wisdom and a woman bound to do great things, and even greater things if the good people of Atlasia find it fit to support her in her quest to make Atlasia lavenous again. A stunning warrior princess and vocal advocate for the environment and the impoverished, she represents the kind of person Atlasia not only needs but deserves.

A vote for Lumine and Siren is a vote for peace and prosperity!

Let's allow 72 hours for requests/speeches, and then we'll proceed to a vote.

Is this limit up?

Let's allow 72 hours for requests/speeches, and then we'll proceed to a vote.

Is this limit up?

Yes, unless you had something to say.

Do we vote on all the House candidates/Lincoln Assembly/etc. or just the people who asked for our endorsement?

Given the low number of asks, I move to vote on all candidates

[You don't see any blue avatars now]

I agree.

[OneJ]

I agree.

So nobody has the full list of candidates for House?  That isn't good.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Thanks, OneJ_!  Hopefully it is correct, because it's what we're going by.

[Anna Komnene]

My friendly suggestion for the House is to only endorse our (wonderful) three Peace candidates. We're a small party and we're going to need to stick together to support our candidates.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

How do you all feel about Siren's suggestion?

[OneJ]

How do you all feel about Siren's suggestion?

I will support Siren’s suggestion, especially  if everyone else agrees.

[Vern]

I would love to have the endorsement for 4th preference in the house race.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

I also support Siren's suggestion.

[You don't see any blue avatars now]

Another person in favor of Siren's suggestion.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Ok, I think that's a majority of the party who don't want to endorse others for the House. Also, I'm declining to vote on the presidential endorsement.

Does anyone think we should endorse for Senate, since none of our party's members are running? Or we could just treat it like the House.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

With three votes in, Lumine and Siren unanimously win the Peace Party endorsement!

If the majority of the party doesn't want to endorse other candidates, I think we should proceed to drafting a platform, as we currently lack one.
