Democratic Alliance National Convention - April 2024 - Welcome to Springfield, IL

[RC]

x RC.

I'd like to make my objections known, that I not only disagree with your assessment, Mr. Chairman, but also that I vehemently disagree with the proposed resolution. The Democratic Alliance was founded on a cornetstone of hard work and liberal ideals as a basis to help this nation. Over the past four years, we have not only had the hardest working group of individuals to maintain a party apparatus EVER, but we have made it our mission to be the change we want.

Labor has always been the tyrant of left-wing autocracy in this nation, a coalition of those who will vote like zombies for economic policy that has failed this nation year after year, term after term. The Peace Party has proven susceptible to right wing takeover, and in recent years has stood for conservative ideals in line with the, at some times restrictive, at other times transparently diabolical positions of the SNP.

The DA stands as the only major liberal party who puts their money where their mouth is. Electing folks with ideals that work for people instead of government and big businesses. This is a party who will work day and night for the advancement of Atlasia, not the DA, not anyone's political career, we are by the people, for the people, not bought and sold, not influenced by outsiders, for freedom and democracy. Aligning ourselves with those institutions whom historically have not reflected those bedrock values, I maintain would be a mistake in the short term, and dire to the continuation of Atlasia in the long term.

I strongly urge this admirable group of individuals, those who stand for change and not for party, those who stand for maturity in our government and freedom to our citizens, not to agree to this resolution. Now is not the time to disband at the cost of extremist ideologues or those who do not know how to turn out their base. If we're gone, the reactionaries win.

I hereby yield the floor.

Aye on the resolution.
