Statement by Senator OSR about the Secession Crises(Officially Endorsing Secession)

[OSR stands with Israel]

OSR: Today is a very sad day in Atlasia , with the breakup of our union. This roots of the secession crises  that has engulfed our nation dates back multiple years and while they have come home to roost were not planted in January but over the course of years. Years of an arrogant Federal Government that not only stopped respecting regional rights but on many occasions had refused to defend them helped lead us to this crises we face today. Years of individuals putting their personal egos over the health of our nation came to roost over the past few days when the Senate instead of doing their job and passing a compromise that could save our union , instead decided to once again decided to put their egos over what could have saved our union and as a result our union has broken.

I know this because I had negotiated a deal with the South that would have gotten them to withdraw their secession motion, in exchange for the regional rights amendment which was something many members of the senate had previously indicated they would support too.  Instead of voting for something they had previously indicated they would support, they decided to withdraw their support for the amendment because personal egos got in the way once again.

This is why I believe our current system is untenable and the only thing that can save our union is a full set Atlasian Reset where we reduce the powers of the federal government and give them to a new 5 region system. Thank You , May God Bless You and May God Bless Atlasia  

[S019]

I agree that large scale reform is needed, and a reset can definitely be part of that. More importantly, I think it is important that Senator OSR has started the discussion surrounding reform and I hope more people can contribute their ideas.

The actions of the Atlasian government in response to this last night was proof that Atlasia is dead and given that they refuse to acknowledge it , I will officially be endorsing the secessionist movement and will be working with them to make secession an official reality . I want to thank YT for helping me quickly find a new residence in Plano , Texas and I look forward to living in my new home .

Thank You , May God Bless you and May God Bless the South

You are a traitor and will be impeached.

You are a traitor and will be impeached.

Guaranteed.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

You are a traitor and will be impeached.

Guaranteed.

[Vice President Christian Man]

It's one thing to call for peace but to support secession and to move to the South is something else. I have no choice but to denounce such actions.

I just hope you realize this step locks you out of being in Fremont or Lincoln for six months (unless law on this has changed) and at least federal (potentially regional, not sure about the jurisprudence there) office for two years. And the South is already crowded with conservative politicians too.
You feel they were likely to expel you anyway. Ok. Well, you already gave your harshest critics everything they wanted. You are certainly are a...courageous...man in this saga. In the way Sir Humphrey from Yes, Minister used the term...
The Senate will decide your fate. I have every reason to expect the worst possible outcome for you.
As a Texan and Collin County resident, anyway, I do think Plano is a nice place, I hope you enjoy it, while your likely exile from being in elected office goes on...there's a lot to do here.

With the repeal of the act barring the Atlasian government from being able to send troops to the south and it being done in a way that clearly violates senate rules , it made being neutral impossible. I am fully willing to accept the consequences for my actions and I am at peace with the decision I made .

Just be beware that actions made in the heat of the moment can and in many cases are regretted.
Negotiating with YT to help save the Union without any bloodshed is admirable. But this is something else.
Just some friendly words from the man who is (still) your Attorney General. And, if the occasion merits, will involve himself in court as whatever is needed as accorded by the law, to uphold it.

You were once a good citizen that was on a Presidential Ticket I was proud to support. But it is clear you have gone your own way. I will extend the same pledge to you as I recently did to those who were on board with the SNP before YT's secession proclamation: I hereby renounce and regret all support I have given you, any vote or high pref I ever cast for you, or bill of yours I ever voted for, endorsed, or otherwise helped become law. Never again will I do such actions. Should you appear on a ballot before me again, I will simply write "No" next to your name.

You support blind ideological loyalty over the South, itself, given that you turned your back on and denounced native Southerners TimTurner, LT, and Yankee.

People are free to care or not care, but my proclamation is pretty broad. For instance, Lincoln has occasionally used bills written by Mr. R. I will endeavor to see we never do so again.

Imagine punishing Lincolnites because you disagree with Mr. R

[OSR stands with Israel]

You are a traitor and will be impeached.

Two weeks ago I was fully on the side of the Atlasian government but over the past two weeks multiple events caused me to completely change my mind:

- First it was the outrageous decision to charge everyone in the Southern Government including people like Reactionary, TPH, RFayette and that was such an obvious abuse of power that if we had a functioning system, a judge would throw out all those charges immediately . Reactionary keep in mind was not a Secessionist, he was working behind the scenes to save the union and I know this cause I was in that chat

- Second it was the decision to leak the facebook messenger posts and while yes it was good the post was taken down, the prosecutor should have been removed from the case over this


These two actions made it clear that the Atlasian Government was fundamentally broken and  that the Regional Rights Amendment was needed. This also turned more from a full supporter of the Atlasian Gov to someone who no longer trusted them but even then I still though saving the union was very important so I did these things


- I negotiated a deal with YT where he agrees not to secede over the secession ban in exchange for the RRA passing. Keep in mind the RRA was something we had done for months so calling it something that YT was taking the country hostage was completely false. Despite this the Atlasian Government decided to put their personal egos decided to completely blow the deal up even knowing it could save the union.


This made it clear to me the current system was completely broken and made me realize a reset was needed. I still thought I could push it from the inside and this crises would wake people mind up to it but instead the past two days these things happened


- Scott completely abused his powers by sending troops to blockade Nashville. This was a clear violation of the law  and the Senate completely brushed it off showing they dont care about the law

- The final straw was the Senate deciding it did not care about senate rules one but and decided to flagrantly violate them to rush through a repeal of that law .


It was clear at this point the Atlasian Government did not care about the rule of law, the legislative process and the system could not be saved at this point. It was only after all this I decided to back secession because frankly the current system deserves to be obliterated and secession is the best tool to accomplish that and my hope is we eventually have a 3 nation system where each region is its own nation as thats the only way to save this game.


So yes I will be impeached for this , but I dont care as the system deserves to be obliterated.

He is a secessionist and I am sorry we let the game get to a point where he played such a major role, and for the times I played a part in establishing that role.
