I'll just point out one glaring error

Quote from: Platform
"abortion restricted until after the third trimester"

This means abortion is banned in the first and second trimester, but allowed in the third? How does that make any sense at all?

Also, I'd recommend you amend this or scrap it:

Trade: Believing in protectionist measures to restore the balance of trade abroad and increasing domestic production at home to stimulate the regional economy.

Protectionism is a disastrous policy that makes goods cheaper for consumers.

Debate has ended but I will answer this. Abortion is not banned at any point according to this just could be regulated at that point. (After third trimester)

well this reads as if it's regulated in the 1st and 2nd, but not in the 3rd

It is not regulated in the first or second, it is something I do oppose (abortion) but we welcome all views.

Then the wording should be changed to reflect that

there's still an issue


the word "until" implies up until that point

Believing in the sanctity of life at conception and abortion can only be restricted until after the third trimester and allowed in cases such as rape, incest, or danger to life of mother.

"Until" needs to be omitted, for it to mean, what you want, this now means, it can be restricted at any point

S019 must have seen the word Moderate and thought that meant his 2 cents were warranted in a party and a caucus he's not even a party of.

I'd like to ask of people not in this party, let alone this caucus, to please refrain from making a scene. We welcome our fellow moderate Feds and any who want to observe, but if you come intending to put a single word under a microscope, please refrain.

I was just pointing out an extremely vague part of the platform, which seemed to have been an oversight by the chair. In any case, the issue is now resolved, but the platform should be clear to those who read it, and I was frankly shocked that no one noticed that issue.

Voting on the caucus platform shall last 48 hours. Then we will proceed to candidate forums and official caucus endorsements of candidates for the June elections.

New Leadership Elections

As one of the interim chairs, I move to convene a leadership election pending approval of the party chair.

Exciting things are to come!

Leadership Election and Vision

I have decided to bring the Moderate Federalist Caucus back and pending the approval of our party chair, NCY, will hold another leadership election to chart our future.

We should also put forth a vision for this caucus as it relates to priorities and recruitment of new members.

Thank you.

As interim chair, I propose that we hold leadership elections every six months to promote a revolving door of people who serve on the caucus. I will bring this to a simple majority vote, after permission to hold this leadership election.
