Scott for Fremont Parliament (Meadowlark) - Running in special election

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Today I formally announce that I am running for reelection to the Fremont Parliament.  I have prepared a report card on legislation I have proposed for this term, most of which have passed with broad, bipartisan support:

Passed:
- Legislation protecting our great forests, particularly the Yellowstone Gateway, from mining and exploitation
- Legislation that preserves the outdoor way of life, protecting both hunters' rights and the environment
- Expanding self-defense and home security protections
- Making Fremont the first region in the nation to have its own public bank to promote agriculture, commerce, and industry throughout the Commonwealth
- A commonsense amendment to our Constitution to cap the number of seats in Parliament, which so far has received overwhelming support from Fremont citizens

In Progress/Awaiting Consideration:
- Taking a zero tolerance approach to human trafficking and child exploitation, protecting victims and bringing traffickers to justice
- Providing two years' free education to high school graduates (community college and trade schools)
- Reforming policing in the Commonwealth
- A constitutional amendment banning elected judges and bringing public accountability to prosecutors
- Legislation which, putting Fremont in line with the federal government and both other regions, protects free speech and freedom of association

In addition to these proposals, since becoming Speaker I have also been maintaining a noticeboard to keep track of legislation and amendments.

Overall, I am proud of what our government has accomplished, which is why I endorse YE for reelection as First Minister.  And I encourage citizens who support our populist agenda to join the Centre movement and vote for Centre candidates up and down the ballot in July.

Now with less than a day remaining, I urge those who haven't voted yet to vote for Lumine and Siren for our next president and vice president, and our three great Peace candidates for Congress, Peebs, OneJ_, and Razze!

Even though our next elections for Parliament are a couple months away, I have officially announced my candidacy for January, or earlier, in the event of a special election.

Currently, three bills are being considered by our region along with the budget.  Here is where I stand on each of them:

First, I support the FremontConnect Extension Act that is currently under consideration in Parliament.  While matters of cost are still being determined, the Rural High-Speed Internet Improvement Act has been essential in expanding internet access to rural communities.  Expanding this infrastructure to cover all of Fremont is common sense, as internet access is a vital necessity for modern life and our economy.

Secondly, I oppose the Fremont Assault Weapons Ban Act that is also under consideration.  Throughout my career in Atlasia I have fought to protect the rights of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms as well as commonsense measures to stop weapons from ending up in the hands of criminals.  This bill as written doesn't do either, and its current language fails to adequately define what type of gun it seeks to outlaw.  As MP, I will fight government overreach and protect our constitutional right to bear arms, as well as Fremont's rich outdoor heritage.

Lastly, I voted no on the public veto override of the Food Card Act, as its poorly-written language consists of loopholes and technical errors which render the bill unenforceable.  Fortunately, most Fremonters (including the MPs who voted for the bill) recognize these errors, and I am optimistic that the First Minister's veto will be sustained.

Next, our priority must be to sustain the economic gains we've made over the past year and to diversify the economies of states that are chiefly dependent on energy.  For small states like Wyoming, new investment in tourism will create thousands of new jobs and its benefits will be felt virtually everywhere, and it will generate millions of dollars in revenue for regional, state, and local governments.

Over the coming months, I look forward to traveling across Fremont and hearing directly from you.  Fremont's potential is vast, and our region can only prosper when everyone in our region prospers.  That is why I'm running - because Fremont matters.

I meant that as you are the founder of Centre I obviously endorse you.
As usual, I didn't make myself sufficiently clear and unambiguous with regards to my writing style.
And all I needed was a pronoun and a plural verb to fix the ambiguity.
