Yank for Senate HQ (Victory Speech)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

What are your views on segregation?

I am 100% opposed to Segregation as a public policy. I see it as one of the most immoral, unethical, unconscionable, unconstitutional, and un-atlasian things that have ever occured, tied with Slavery.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

What are your views on Gporter 1972 timeline?

Haven't read it. Everytime I see the What if board I remember that I promised I would start my TL and yet I am no where near even being able to start.

What are your views on Wake Forest University? Now that you've graduated high school, will you attend WFU? If not, what are your reasons? Will you admit it's God's favorite school?

1) I haven't graduated just yet. June 11th is Graduation.

2) I have made my decision with regards to where I will be going. I will not disclose that at this time.

3) Well I would think that any college that has "FU" has its last two initials would have a hard time getting the All-mighty's endorsement. Just a hunch.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I will also be endorsing Yankee. We may disagree on most issues, but, he's always willing to at least listen to the other side. And anyway, it's not like he's going to get defeated.

That what people said about Martha Cloakey!!!!!!!

If I am Coakley, that means you are the guy who gets shoved to the ground.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

                                                       HELLO NASHVILLE!!!
   Ladies and Gentleman of this fine state, I come before you today to once again ask for your vote for Southeast Senate. Today we face a nation that is spiraling downward and once we desperately need strong leadership to confront our country’s problems and ensure a bright future for ourselves, our kids, our grandkids, and all future generations. It is for that reason that I run again to be your Senator. In Atlasia today, we have a crisis of apathy, of inactivity. We have a system whose deficiencies put us in a “downward spiral” of inactivity. I was fortunate to be able to introduce a bill this session which fixed oversights in previous legislation. Several new positions had been created but they had not been incorporated into the order of succession to the Presidency. This created a potential crisis down the road. It is for this reason that we need strong independent organizations like Peter’s Renaissance caucus to catch such lapses and offer legislation to correct them.

   I have always been willing to introduce bills for other people so that I might give them a voice in the Senate. This session I introduced bills from my constituents dealing with balanced budgets and restricted the use of unhealthy sugar substitutes. As we move forward I plan to introduce legislation to improve flood readiness and issue which I am sure many of you are keenly interested and concerned about. I also want plan to continue to work with our Governor and making sure that the newly created assembly is a success and that we can be an example and not an embarrassment.

   It is also important to not forget our core values, or limited government, of keeping taxes down and effectively structured to encourage growth, economic development, and job creation. We also need to make sure that regional powers are not usurped by the federal government and that equal power is maintained for regions in the Atlasian Senate.

   We also must face reality, we face the imminent situation of having a committed socialist one life away from the Presidency. With this situation existing we must have a strong conservative voice who will hold the likely new administration accountable and fight back against any potential liberal measures that could arise. I look forward to working with the new President in making important reforms that will encourage activity and move us forward.

   For our future, our ideals, our values, Vote Yankee For Senate!!!

Press Release -
With regret we must announce the cancellation of appearences by Senator Yankee in Memphis, New Orleans, Biloxi and Mobile do to an unforseen eye condition that has made it impossible to make those appearences. The Senate hopes to hit the trail again starting on Saturday with his appearence in Dallas.

- Yankee4Senate Committee



Press Release -
I would like to condemn the vile, unethical, and underhanded smear campaign which my opponent is engaging in. It has come to my attention that the campaign of GPorter is PMing people with lies about my record and gross miss interpretations of laws and reasoning behind votes I call on the candidate to stop such actions. I have decided to refuse to agree to any debates with the candidate till he stops these slanders of my record.

- Sen Yankee

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Press Release: When will GPorter stop lying to the people of the SE?

Senator GPorter said I opposed sending aide to chile when in fact I did support it and only voted against it to draw attention to the extremely ridiculous length of time it took the Senate to pass any aide package. Now GPorter says that I not only support cults but that I support them with a passion. Despite whatever comments made during my drunken ballroom fight with the Welshman, I do not, nor have I ever supported any organization which engages in brainwashing, kidnapping, holding people against their will, inducing people to committ mas suicide, or to break off all non-inner group contact with people. That includes any cult or other organization period such as FLDS, Scientologists (Which upon research I have learned are like that), the Branch Dividians (SP?) and many other groups. I do support freedom of choice and the freedom association and any group that respects that right of choice to join and leave as people wish, should not be scorned just because certain established churches do not like them and instead should be protected such as atheists, mormons, egnostics and such other religions that are not enfringing on peoples god given constitutional rights.

Again we ask when GPorter will stop liaring about my positions and start telling us the truth about his positions?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Press Release: GPorter thinks he knows what the people want?

In an effort to cover for the fact that he, GPorter, engaged in a dishonest smear campaign which included several lies about my record which resulted in us refusing to debate to him untill he stopped these distastefull tactics, now claims we are afraid to face the people's questions. This is ridiculous because my campaign office is a 24/7 townhall in which anybody can ask me any questions they like. Also since last June, with the exeption of a brief period in which some kinks had to be worked out, I have been willing to in fact let my consituents write and submit bills to me to be introduced on the floor even if I disagreed with what the bill does, in effect bringing those people to floor of the Senate, they can then make the arguements for that bill on the floor and then it can be voted upon. To say I am afraid of the people is yet another lie from the campaign of lies made by GPorter when in effect I am the Senator closest to the people.

Once again we are forced to ask, when will GPorter stop lying to the people of the southeast? The SE deserves an honest Senator.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

A Late Victory Address

  Ladies and gentlemen, I realize this is a few days late but I would like to thank the voters of the SE, for once again putting their trust and faith in me to represent them in Senate where I won't be afraid to take the responsibility to send our boys into combat if the need shall arise. I look forward to working with my old friend Franzl and my new friend Dallasfan65 in the new Senate. I have a few priorities, topping the list is working with the new administration to revive the game by instituting some common sense reforms. Other initiatives I will push will be to establish off-shore oil drill response zones, in which the oil companies will pool their resources to stock pile the skimmers, platforms, rigs, tankers, boom (sp?) and other equiptment and supplies needed to respond to such disasters should they occur. I want to work on beefing up floor and Hurricane response. And finally since much issue was made about it via false accusation, I want to strengthen our laws concerning cult activities which are harmfull to members and people outside the organization. I look forward to a successfuly term and I thank the voters of the SE for the faith and trust that they have placed in me.

Its so hard to get good help these days, especially in the area of security guards.

                          NC Yankee for Senate October 2010 Campaign Announcement
                                                        Naples, Florida

   Ladies and Gentlemen, I come down here to the great state of Florida to begin my fifth campaign for the Atlasian Senate. It has been a fun year, however I must report that the Senate has descended into such a state inactivity, worthlessness, and decay such as we have never seen in a long time. As such I made the spontaneous decision to run for PPT, fully thinking that I would probably lose but, at least it would provide some competition. Unfortunately for the poor members of that body, no one else declared. I ask you thus to keep the members in your prayers, for they shall surely need it. I plan to do what no one else in the position of PPT has done. I plan to insult members, I plan to ruffle feathers, and push people's buttons. Nothing gets a person more fired up then some insane man calling them names. If it takes that to get the votes done on time, I am all for it. I hold nothing personally against anyone particular member and I hope they feel the same way. Some have contacted me, and praised me for coming in with such a kick-ass, "Machete" style approach, and I am glad they are so understanding of my goals and objectives here.

As your Regional Senator, I have voted the way I felt best for the region and the nation as a whole. I have at times been willing to compromise on some things like the the stimulus last year and at other times go down fighting till the very end like the attempts to abolish Regional Senate seats. I have  maintained as a policy that if any IDS/DS/SE citizen is willing to write up a piece of legislation, I will gladly introduce it for them exactly as presented to me. If I have to write it though, chances are it may not be 100% of what you wanted, and that is of course a given as we likely have different viewpoints. I will try to act in the spirit of the request and move in the direction that person wants like I did when I wrote Regional Legal Drinking Age act. Of course that means nothing if some have a hard time figuring out that intent or view any progress short of 100% progress, a sellout or worse then the status quo. I can't control that, but what I can do is provide an opportunity for every citizen of this fine region to have a voice, through me, in the Atlasian Senate, should they choose to utilize it.

I look forward to completion of our current work on the budget committee and to some of the ideas being discussed to stimulate the economy. Some are brilliant ideas which should be fairly easy to pass, while others will be more controversial and could require some compromise, as I am sure the administration is acutely aware. I got some of my own proposals, some of which can be seen in my tabled bill. They include things like reforms to patenting processes to encourage innovation, changes to the tax code to encourage investments into R&D, and a permanent tax break for new start-ups which of course created between 75% and 80% of the new jobs in the last decade. Many of these would be easier with the budget process in place but if that doesn't get moving faster, I will introduce them without it.

I look forward to an active and interesting campaign season and I hope to have a chance to convince you to vote for me.

Thanks and Dave Bless Atlasia

Thanks to all that have endorsed me thus far.

                                         Townhall in Memphis, TN

Ladies and Gentleman if you have any questions I will answer them. The first one will be from the lady in the Red sweater on our left.

"Hello, my name is Ellen, and I would like to now what your opinion is on the new Game Moderator and how will you work to help him improve the position"

Yankee: Thanks, Ellen! That is a wonderfull question. The Game Moderator is an important position and I have a history of working and pushing to make sure that we have and active and passionate Game Moderator, and that he is able to use creativity while still meeting demands of the game. I have a lot of faith in Badger to get the job done. He certainly has lot on his plate and I must say the bills I will be introducing will make his first few days in office very rough.

Now you sir in the hat up front.

"Good evening!, My name is Fred and I would like to now what your plan is to deal with the economy?"

Yankee: Very important! I have always been one to rank the economy as a priority. We have taken action in the past to stimulate economy and I have voted to extend and expand the Emergency Credit Access act, the original bill in 2009 was written and sponsored by me. This will expand access to credit to numerous small businesses allowing them to create jobs. Another measure was brough forth to boast construction by spending on our delapidated highways. I am certainly partial to such an endevour but its small size led me to question its effectivenesss as stimulus and as such if its not stimulus then it should have been funded. I did vote a for a massive expenditure in infrastructure as part of the Recovery Act in 2009. I think its critical longterm to promote an effective education system, to maintain support for technology, and improve the business environment.   

And you sir in the blue shirt

"My name is Thomas and I would like to now what your opinion is of the AndrewCT's candidacy?".

Yankee: I think he is a great candidate, I will be supporting him in the up comming election and I think all the attacks about it being "Hamiltons handpicked candidate" are just ridiculous considering how this ticket was practically dead and was only resutitated at the last minute. Hamilton had no say and it could just as easily fell through and been some other candidate. And I gurrantee you our leftwing friends would label any ticket as "Hamilton's choice". It just shows how little they have left of substance, so they resort to insults and personal attacks.

Okay the woman with the green hat

"My name is Janet and I want to know why you voted for the Stimulus bill in 2009?"

Yankee: It's an important question. At the time, we had a very serious crisis and it was important to do something in response. I feel that the bill, as it ended up, was the best we could get and that only work it done to that by offering my support for the final product if thats what it looked like. If I had been a nay vote from the start, it would likely have been far worse, including counterproductive protectionism and nationalization of industries. I do think the Stimulus was necessary and that it helped boost the economy. But we would be ridiculous to think that a short term blip in Gov't spending will create growth long term, it can only jumpstart it. Only private sector investment, innovation and entrepreneurship can create long term growth and gov't policy should seek to encourage and support it and it should never get in the way of it unless for public safety or well being. That has not happened to a degree, one of the most important ways to support it, is to provide, rule of law, domestic stability, and consistency in enforcement of laws and we haven't had that, due to gov't incompetence.


I am afraid we are out of time, thanks for your questions, Good night and Dave Bless Atlasia!!!!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Ladies and Gentleman if you have any questions, my door is open.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Ladies and Gentleman if you have any questions, my door is open.

VK Reporter: Sir, are you worried about Mr. SPC, making a noinses about his mysterious internal poll, where he claims to have a lead?

I never claimed to have lead in this race. Yankee's own poll is evidence that the race is closer than one would expect, and to claim that my support has "collapsed" is disingenuous since the poll showing Yankee with a larger lead was taken first.

Actually that it is not factually accurate. Yours was both first and last. You ran it for five days meaning that best chance for exposure to as many voters as possible. My poll which was started a day after yours ran for three days and was finished while yours still had a day to go. TRC's poll also showed me with a 2-1 lead at the same time.

And ftr the record, I was just trying to juice things up, SPC, as things are kind of dull. In some ways most of what I do has that in mind actually.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Excerpt from an Address to the Atlanta Regionalist Chapter

Atlanta, Georgia

...
           It has become common on both the left and the right to criticize and attack my record as Senator and claim I am not a loyal Regionalist. This just poppycock. I have dedicated the better part of two years to the cause of Regionalism. We came the closest to seeing Regional Senate seats abolished ever. The only reason we didn't, is because I reached out across the aisle and made key alliances to insure that the amendment to abolish Regional Senate seats failed. If Mr. SPC thinks that he can mislead the voters of the IDS by pulling out a single bill from last year and say that "He is not a committed regionalist", he is wrong. I pose the question then, "Would SPC have been able to get very liberal members of the Senate to come over to his side to defeat a bill to abolish Regional Senate Seats"? That is the question that the voters of the IDS will get to answer. SPC has been in the Senate before, he was often, disrepected and ignored by the other side of the aisle. If you have no regard for some the bills that I have voted for, you can atleast acknowledge the positive impact they had on my ability to fight for other more important Regionalist causes. I think you will agree preserving Regional senate seats is far more important, then ensuring the defeat of some electric power entitlement....

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Could you provide citation for said bill to abolish regional senate seats? Additionally, the idea that my election would put regional senate seats in jeopardy is ludicrous; Such a proposal would require support from 7 senators, when we both know that one would be hard-pressed to find 7 senators to favor abolition of regional senate seats. Given that you are the Dean of the Senate and supposedly have so much sway among your fellow Senators, why not propose legislation to grant the regions more power, rather than simply trying to maintain the status quo?

I did not say your election would put them in danger. I said I am a more effective advocate of Regional rights and used that as evidence to support it.

I don't have the link available. But it was last November. And yes it was very close to passing. The final results just don't show how close we came. With Rowan facing potential prosecution and expulsion from the Senate, Franzl having shifted against regions and Afleitch on the fence. It looked like we were going to lose. Especially before Hans succeeded Jas.

You don't remember this? At all?

You don't remember this? At all? 

I think I figured out why you didn't cite the legislation in question (which I managed to find here, after searching through ten pages of Senate debates). Anyway, I combed through all fifteen pages of the bill's debate, and you only posted once to vote against it, while DWTL and PiT were actively arguing against it. I would hardly call that "effective" at persuading a supposedly hostile Senate to reject it, and I would say that you are giving yourself way too much credit for its defeat if at all. The legislation in question was not calling for the direct abolition of regional senate seats, but merely the devolving of authority on running Senate elections to the regions. While I don't favor electing senators on an at-large basis, its not as horrific as a federal mandata to do so. The fact the the anti-regionalist Franzl is now a member of the Regional Protection Party proves my point about how the Regional Protection Party has strayed from its original purpose.

Additionally, while I was doing your work for you in searching for the legislation in question, I also managed to find this bill in which you voted against competing currencies, which was a contested matter of debate for the original RPP.

You have the wrong bill.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

2009 not 2008 . And it is amazing that I posted in that thread, considering I wasn't even here when the 2008 debate occured.



This is the bill I am talking about:
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=104848.0

To make it easier to pass, the supporters tried to pass this before they moved on the Seats:
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=104302.0

And before that, much of the arguement occured here:

And who doesn't support Regions?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

That was a 2009 bill, and you even voted Nay, which was your only post in the thread.

Anyway, now that you've helped me locate the bill in question, I can see that you only made one comment during the whole debate, which was to make a sarcastic joke about Fritz's referring to regional senate races as uncompetitive. I didn't realize that your sarcasm was so effective at defeating legislation.

Read the PM I sent you.  All you have done here is display a negative consequence of your repetative periods of innactivity. I worked extensively behind the scenes and as I said, much of the debate occured in the last thread prior to the bill coming up. Most of the battle was defeating the Amendment Amendment. Notice that from the begining it was said in the Senate Reorganization Amendment debate that, "This will likely fail" even by its supporters. There is a reason they were saying that.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The sarcastic remark I thought was quite effective at destroying the assertion that At-Large seats are more competative by showing the special election history. That was one of the most prominent arguements for Abolition combined with the arguement that it would prevent strategic registration, something which was caused by elements within the RPP that I stood firmyl against some of whom left and formed the party you currently retain membership in.  Fortunately most of the Populares are now firmly Pro-Regional Senate seats and most were all along.

Since my rise to leadership the RPP has been returned to its pro-Regioanlist roots that certain folks seemed to no longer care about. This is established fact. There has not been a single organized effort to abandon regionalism within the party since.
