I got a question for Kal. Why do you want to be VP again? I thought you disliked the position. If elected, will you make it more interesting? Like have hookers on the Senate floor?

Hookers was showing support. Apparently, you've never seen the kind of gals he brought in the past when I was in the Governors mansion.

Oh, position is still a bucket of warm piss, my friend, but how can I stand aside when Atlasia needs rock'n'rolling? And you know Napoleon and me will rock y'all.

I promise to provide your office with an escorts.

Post by: Napoleon on April 22, 2012, 07:52:07 PM
Thank you all for coming out tonight, I really appreciate it. As you may have concluded, I am announcing my candidacy for the Presidency of Atlasia. You may or may not know me. I have served in office continuously since I was first elected in February 2011, as a surprise write in to the Northeast Assembly. I have served as Speaker of the Northeast Assembly, two productive terms as the Northeast's Senator, and now proudly as her Governor.

I am seeking the Presidency because for too long we have heard that Atlasia is dying, that she has lost her luster, that this nation is not what it used to be. I say- there's too much talk, and it is time for some action. I cannot, with good conscience, sit idly on the sidelines at this critical juncture in our history, with our future hanging in the balance. And no doubt, there will be some radical, but thoroughly ineffective, proposals pitched from various corners. What I think this game needs, though, is a little drama, a lot of passion, and all-around good fun.

This election must be weighed not on PM scores and personal squabbles, but on the record of dedication to effective public policy and positive reform.
Over the course of my political career I have worked closely with members of many parties and adherents to various ideologies, and will use this experience effectively to work with the Senate as president. I authored and fought hard to pass a law to safely bring our troops home from the Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya Wars. I've passed bills to increase the global competitiveness of our education system, and to invest in a modernized infrastructure network. I've fought for drug law reform, and to keep the government out of our personal lives. I voted to shorten the work-week to create jobs, and I voted to lower taxes in accordance with the Polnut plan. In the Northeast, I've worked tirelessly for constitutional and institutional reform, and did the same in the Senate, and will do the same as President. Even after being out of the Senate for two months, my bill to make our national health care system more sustainable and cost-effective appears likely to pass!

To make this all possible, I have selected former Vice President Kalwejt to serve in that capacity once more. He is experienced and energetic, two qualities that I feel are needed to put some passion back into the game. Together, we will look at Vice Presidential reforms and continue making the bold proposals you have seen from us in the past. I look forward to inspiring debates, not just over the course of the campaign, but in the Senate and across Atlasia after being elected. Thank you for coming out tonight and for your dedicated support, I won't let you down in this election.

I'm excited about this, guys, and I especially hope that this campaign revitalizes our party.

You have the chance to appeal to both Labor Party members and a sizable number of independents, particularly if the Labor establishment goes Tweedist.

Thank you Nix. I hope you are right. :)

Some have questioned my decision to announce my VP pick right off the bat, but I have done so for good reasons. Kalwejt will be an essential part of my administration and I think that deserves to be reflected over the course I'd the campaign. I also prefer that the focus is on the policies we propose rather than who I may or may not be running with.

"I believe that it is important the mainstream left unite around one ticket in this election. There is too much at stake, and the far-right is stronger now than ever. We can not underestimate the need to appeal to swing voters, as the last election demonstrated."

Sure. Foreign policy is an area I have involved myself in since first elected to the Senate. As President, I will pursue a foreign policy that expands trade with other nations and opens markets. I would also like to prioritize environmental issues within the larger sphere of foreign policy, and work with other world leaders to that goal. My administration would go to war as a last resort measure only in extreme circumstances when we feel we have exhausted our other options. I would emphasize intelligence operations and collaborative international diplomacy. I can not say with certainty who I would ask to remain from President Polnut's Cabinet, but the things I will be looking for are activity,  experience, confidence, and flexibility.

I, for one, will not be preferencing the Tweed ticket despite my personal respect for bgwah. Atlasia needs a President, not a cult of personality. The Tweed campaign is not serious and certainly not serious about working with or helping to build any sort of progressive movement within Atlasia, as evidenced by his neglect in voting for anyone other than himself. It almost seems, to me, that Tweed could be considered the Whigs' best friend, should he succeed in dividing the left. I have already offered Snowstalker my second preference.

Then we need to get Tweed to offer Snowstalker his second preference and you his third. Do you really think that's immensely likely? I'm not asking you to preference Tweed second. I'm asking you only to preference him above the Whig candidate, and once polling starts we may discover that even that won't be necessary. We need to stop going around in a circle blaming one another for divisions on the left. I plan to tell Tweed this as well.

"I can't express how disappointed I am with the turn out in this election. It is unlikely we will even reach 80 votes. In my first election as a voter, there were over 100 votes.

Atlasia already has free trade with many, many nations. (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Omnibus_Trade_Reorganization_%26_Wiki_Consolidation_Act) It isn't as if I would act as an enabler to exploitative labor practices.

Great, then preference, please, unless you want a President Clarence. If Tweedism has value as a revolutionary movement then it will have value regardless of whether you or he or Napoleon is President and Napoleon as President won't actively make things worse in the short term, believe me.

Well, it's just that you're a conservative Whig. It's not anything specifically against you. The only reason we're specifying you is because a lot of us consider you one of the likelier candidates and strong if you run, which is a good thing. In the future I fully expect to be threatening my fellow left-leaning party leaders with President TJ, and TJ and I have a lot of personal respect and fondness for each other.

The problem is that each one of you has different standards as to what an "acceptable" conservative is. And pretty soon you have ground to dust such a large number of rightists, that there is no game anymore. You can't eat the cake in a political game, like you can in RL. In RL you know they will always come back in some different form because that is how the system is designed. In a game that isn't necessarily the case. The population is so small and it isn't real. Thus you run the risk of people giving up and leaving. To some extent you see this happen in real life as millions become apathetic do a variety of distractions and bs in RL politics.

In 2010, Marokai Blue and others "eliminated" Vepres. Compared to Pingvin, would any liberal think Vepres should have been driven off? Thus is the falacy of the "drive your opponents into oblivion" model. Thus why it should be abandoned, including with regards to Pingvin.

Yankee, I can speak for myself only. I believe that my entire history on Atlas in general and in Atlasia in particular proved that I'm able to remain in friendly terms with many conservative participants, regardless of our political differences. Moreso, I was working with many conservatives on common goals.

This is definitively left-liberal ticket (Napoleon and me), but don't expect us to commence a massive impalement of conservatives if elected :P

I can only hope. This election should serve as a wake up call that we have no room to be purist, that we must stay united and focus on our common goals as we push onward to victory. Even so much as one selfish player can cause us to lose. For example, candidate Young Tweed could have preferenced Snowstalker on his ballot and prevented this defeat.

Oakvale, you should come back to your party. :D

We can no longer be complacent, the last election shows us what happens when we fall asleep at the wheel. Now is the time to stay united.

Sure. Foreign policy is an area I have involved myself in since first elected to the Senate. As President, I will pursue a foreign policy that expands trade with other nations and opens markets. I would also like to prioritize environmental issues within the larger sphere of foreign policy, and work with other world leaders to that goal. My administration would go to war as a last resort measure only in extreme circumstances when we feel we have exhausted our other options. I would emphasize intelligence operations and collaborative international diplomacy. I can not say with certainty who I would ask to remain from President Polnut's Cabinet, but the things I will be looking for are activity,  experience, confidence, and flexibility.

My biggest problem with the Foreign Policy Review is the sustained use of the word "attack" to describe the goal of the tariff. Such is all but admitting economic warfare. While I support restrictions for rogue nations, describing it is an attack does more harm than good.

Look guys, I really like Pingvin as a fellow. I strongly disagree with most of his political positions, which are just too extreme when compared to Atlasian conservative mainstream, but while I might not vote for him, I wouldn't want him to be politically destroyed. I do not support political assasinations, period.

Both Napoleon and me already stated clearly we're not for any of such things, so can we finish this already?

Vepres was "driven off" because he was an idiot and became increasingly paranoid during his time on the forum at large. Though I'm flattered that you single me out in giving credit for getting rid of Vepres, I don't understand why we should have to put up with folks that just aren't good enough simply for the sake of filling seats.

And just for the record I have had basically no interaction with Pingvin and know almost nothing about him, so I'm in no way referring to him in this, I'm just speaking about your general point.

I gave credit to "others". You were the most visibly aggressive against him that I remember. And this example was bouncing around in my head for some reason at the time. :P

I had issues with him myself, but I don't remember anything that could be considered "paranoid". If he lost control or something of that nature, then it would be the job of the moderation staff to deal with him like Teddy was.

My point is from the perspective of atlasia, such is harmfull because standards of "idiocy" and "paranoia" are subjective standards.

Further discussion of this is probably better handled elsewhere.

Even my opponents agree with me!

The best government is a government where people of differnt ideologies have to come to the table and negotiate their differences-

Elect Napoleon/Kalwejt to counter-balance this right-wing Senate! My experience working with different ideologies during two terms in the Northeast Assembly, both times being the only JCP member, two terms in the Senate, and as Governor with a varied Assembly will make my the best chance to bring people together.

I think my own political experience is going to allow me to be a valuable part of Napoleon administration. I've been Northeast Representative, IDS Legislator, Midwest Lt. Governor, Midwest Senator, Al-large Senator, Attorney General and Vice President of Atlasia.

But recap of positions alone is not everything. During serving all of these offices, I've been working closely with the people representing diffrent, sometimes very diffrent, political position. Just as Napoleon did successfully in Northeast and in the Senate.

We're a ticket of experience and openess combined.

Napoleon, if you're such a passionate believer in working with everyone, why did you never seek my opinion on the End to Imperialism Act, only mentioning my existence when I started working with the President?  Don't you think it's important to work with people in leadership positions even if you loathe them?

1. I don't loathe anyone. Try harder.

2. I worked closely with President Polnut, Commander in Chief. I remember being told that he sought your advice on the matter. Obviously, the final law was a compromise that took a diverse set of views into account.

You definitely loathe me Napoleon.  Or at least cordially dislike me ;)

But I don't understand why you don't think the SoEA is someone you should work with on a foreign policy bill.  It seems like negotiations should have actively included the SoEA, not merely through the President.

I was at the end.  If I remember correctly (and if you have evidence to the contrary, please provide it so I don't criticize you unnecessarily), I was only included when I went to Polnut to get involved - you said it was useless to work with me because I was too stubborn.  Do I mis-remember?

And admit you loathe me :P

I do not know for sure but if you expect me to go back nearly a year ago to find evidence to defend myself, I regretfully must inform you I cannot oblige. This campaign is about the future of Atlasia and I will not allow distractions along the way. What does need said regarding the End of Imperialism Act, and can be easily verified by anyone if desired, is that I worked my ass off to see our troops come home securely and safely while you fought for more war and more bloodshed. I took on the political establishment and military-industrial complex to protect Atlasians and their families.

Sure. Foreign policy is an area I have involved myself in since first elected to the Senate. As President, I will pursue a foreign policy that expands trade with other nations and opens markets. I would also like to prioritize environmental issues within the larger sphere of foreign policy, and work with other world leaders to that goal. My administration would go to war as a last resort measure only in extreme circumstances when we feel we have exhausted our other options. I would emphasize intelligence operations and collaborative international diplomacy. I can not say with certainty who I would ask to remain from President Polnut's Cabinet, but the things I will be looking for are activity,  experience, confidence, and flexibility.

You avoided the second part of my question brilliantly ;)

Also, can you comment specifically on the recently posted FPR?

My biggest problem with the Foreign Policy Review is the sustained use of the word "attack" to describe the goal of the tariff. Such is all but admitting economic warfare. While I support restrictions for rogue nations, describing it is an attack does more harm than good.

On the issue of dog consumption, I will point to my support of the Canine Protection Act.

Even when Marokai and I were less than best friends, I knew he meant what he said and vice-versa. His former presidential camppaign experience should be more than helpful. Senator Scott has been a great ally in the Northeast and will be helpful in keeping the campaign in tune with Senate going-ons. His input will be of great value. I am looking forward to earning your confidence and support in June.

A Note of Intent

Myself and Kalwejt are not running to take part in a personality contest. We are running to do hard work and fix the problems that plague Atlasia. It's not about silly little personal issues, nor should we be content with votes based on party or ideological lines. There are many problems and we've got to fix them without reacting in a reactionary or bitter way. There are many candidates in this race but few have shown the dedication and creativity that Kalwejt and I have.

I endorsed Kalwejt separately from Napoleon because Kalwejt had a separate declaration of candidacy from Napoleon.  The reason I endorsed Kalwejt was because he was Napoleon's running mate.

Santa Fe, New Mexico

New Mexico, it is so great to be here today. You know, this is my first political visit out here in the Pacific Region. A great region, of course, it is lovely here. Lots of trees. I like trees.

Anyway, we're all in agreement that Atlasia needs a leader, someone who is courageous enough to do what is right, rather than what is popular. This campaign is about bringing Atlasians together. We recognize the problem, but I see no solutions! We must reject the status quo and embrace the future- and I am not talking about the current administration when I say this. I am talking about our attitude, our approach, our investment in our country. At a time when veteran members are leaving in droves, new members are hesitant to register, and active members aren't as active as before, I've been here trying to make things work. When my region had a political system that was broken and ineffective, I didn't sit on the sideline. I worked with others in my region who saw what I saw and together we fought back. Inactive governor? We can do something about that. Outdated constitution? We did something about that, too.

Now we have problems at the federal level. Since the last presidential election, five Senate seats have been vacated prematurely! That's 50% of the Senate right there! And the Senate debates now, well, let's be honest, they don't come close to the debates we had in the summer and fall of 2011. Even now, the biggest debate in the Senate is a bill I introduced! That's why I have brought in a team that I think can really help energize the politics of this nation. My running-mate Kalwejt is a bold personality with a creative streak that we desparately need for this game, and he has the right attitude about the game: we can work with anyone if we need to.

When I saw the health care reform proposals that were clearly unable to fill the holes in the system, I took action. I reached across the aisle to RPP Senator MOPolitico, who I had absolutely no previous connection with and sat down and we threw ideas back and forth. We had jobs to do, so we did it. We made the tough choices that others might have been afraid to propose, or that might have been unpopular, but now, months later, we're on track to reform health care into a fair and sustainable program that still keeps our nation healthy as ever.

Atlasia has a choice in this election. We can step in to a future where the game is lively and exciting, or we could fade away into permanent decline. This is what we are voting for, and a vote for Napoleon and Kalwejt in June 2012 will lead Atlasia down a new path- a more active, inclusive game where people want to participate in the hottest political and cultural debates of the day. A vote for Napoleon and Kalwejt is a vote for an Atlasian Renaissance. It's easier than it sounds, after all. ;)

Thank you New Mexico. I can't wait to see more of the great Pacific Region as I campaign across the country these next two months.

And here I am. They said it was a gamble trying to make it here after spending most of the day in New Mexico. That was a joke, so you guys can go ahead and laugh. *dead silence* Okay...so how is it going tonight Sin City? Everyone doing alright? Sin City...is that politically correct? Ehhh I don't care if it is or not, it's fitting! I'm here today to talk about personal freedoms. I've noticed that the business here is booming ever since my smoking ban repeal became law...good for you, Nevada! As President, I will be the same Napoleon I have always been, and let the unique culture that has developed here, and all over the Pacific Region, thrive. It isn't my priority to decide how you medicate, how you recreate, or how you generate. More than any other Senator in my time here, I've fought for your right to make your own decisions for your personal life. Any bill reaching my desk that threatens this will be vetoed with haste. Now, if you don't mind, this is Las Vegas. I'm not going to waste your time, or my time, with any more boring speeches. Vote for Napoleon and Kalwejt in June 2012, and have fun! Time to party!!

Tweed is talking about the number of political jobs in this game, and I am here to lend a voice of credibility. From before my very first Senate campaign, I have recognized that there are too many positions and not enough interested people. I have a real record of doing something about it, too. In the Northeast, I reformed the Constitution to eliminate the Lieutenant Governor and reduce Assembly seats. The result? At least as many candidates as seats available ever since. In the Senate, I pushed for Cabinet size reduction and flexibility. While many mocked my suggestion that the RG and SoFE be consolidated, Homely shows us it works quite well. Now the VP can serve in a Cabinet post and Secretaries can serve in more than one position.

A lot of candidates will be talking the talk- I will keep walking the walk. Napoleon/Kalwejt June 2012: for those who like some Substance with their Style. :)

Another candidate in this race has brought up nuclear energy. I have always been a passionate believer that the best environment is a clean environment, and moving away from fossil fuels will help accomplish this. One of the main concerns about nuclear power is keeping everything safe. I would ensure strict standards for nuclear safety, and applaud President now Vice President Tmthforu and my running mate Kalwejt for working to increase oversight of nuclear facilities with the Nuclear Safety Act of 2011.

Governor Napoleon Officially Responds to Negative Tweed Comments

 
Young Tweed, I finally got around to watching your latest video and I have a few comments.

You note animosity between yourself and Kalwejt. Interestingly, to me at least, is that your running mate "Bald Motherer" and I have traditionally been political allies.

Your video actually does raise my opinion of you (as a candidate, I have always liked you as a poster), despite your improper characterization of my candidacy, and in part because I think the positive attributes you are applying to yourself can be applied to me. Therefore, I attribute it to ignorance as opposed to malice. In fact, you can apply that label to others and be correct for the most part, but I am curious if bgwah agrees that a Napoleon presidency would be boring or lacking in passion. I once sparked enough passion to score the Worst Senator title (with 45% of Atlasians voting me as the worst) to now holding an 85% approval rating as Northeast Governor,  which to me says a lot more than "Meh".

I find Atlasia to be a game and I play it for fun. Sure I am something of a workhorse, rewriting Constitutions and all that jazz, but so is bgwah, who really put in good work on the Wiki, and we don't do it because I expect to be rewarded for it in someway, we do it so the game works and others can have fun too.

There are enough moderate heroes, if I cared about being respected or pleasing the most people, I would have probably bored myself out of this game already and picked a VP less controversial than Kal, who is a great guy by the way and we have had our own bouts of animosity at times. I do care about being a good, or great even, President if elected but not at the cost of what you correctly label "passion". I won't go around creating false controversies but you can be damn sure that I will stick to my guns. I think anyone would back me up on this, even my haters.

Our Platform of Platitudes

Most of our detailed proposals will be made known over the course of the campaign, including tonight's upcoming stop in San Diego, CA. Until then, Kal and I give you whatever good campaign needs: a general sense of what we stand for.

 The Napoleon/Kalwejt ticket believes that the environment is precious and that Atlasia must be responsible with our resources and preserve aspects of our environment that are threatened. We support moving toward more renewable energy and investing in newer, cleaner technologies.

The Napoleon/Kalwejt ticket believes that war's only purpose is as a last resort option when all other efforts are exhausted. We believe that peace can be encouraged through opening markets and offering straight-forward diplomacy. We believe tension with nations in the Middle East and South America is best resolved with understanding rather than force; at the same time, we will not tolerate human rights abuses.

The Napoleon/Kalwejt ticket believes that individuals can and should be responsible for their own actions. To that end, we maintain that the government should stay out of our personal lives as much as possible. Social policy should set fair boundaries in public and keep private matters private. We strongly support the right to privacy and believe Atlaisa is suited best by a tolerant and respectful culture.

The Napoleon/Kalwejt ticket believes that the government's role in the economy best serves its purpose when it empowers individuals. We support progressive taxation and robust, sustainable social services. We prefer to see an economy where workers' interests and business' interests are not in stark contrast with one another.

The Napoleon/Kalwejt ticket believes that game reform is best achieved when the community has an open, respectful discussion to find problems and solutions alike. We value creativity and collaboration and would like to see the game become more interactive as to encourage involvement.

Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona

Greetings Arizona!
It’s a pleasure to have this opportunity to travel your beautiful state, with her vast deserts and sturdy peaks. The diversity and beauty is representative of what the people of Atlasia embody- we are a diverse nation that has a lot to appreciate. I’m running to serve as your next President because I believe that these values are at the core of our strength as a nation. The coming together of our unique backgrounds, talents, histories, and desires laid the foundation for this house, but Atlasia must be a home, an accepting and embracing home for all.

And so I propose, if elected president, to increase legal immigration to this nation and offer immigrants opportunities that are unavailable to them in their native lands. The same opportunities our families were awarded when they first arrived, we must continue the warm, welcoming tradition. I support strengthening our ESL (English as Second Language) programs so that we can help break down that language barrier and really open the gates for immigrants to Atlasia to become full-fledged members of this great community we’ve built. And I have always stood strongly against racial discrimination; this will not change if elected your president. It is time we begin to bridge the racial gap once and for all- this is an evil we can eliminate and it will be done.

That being said, we need to protect Atlasia, and securing the border consciously will assist us in keeping the nation safe. As Commander in Chief, I won’t allow our nation to simply accept the constant threat. In the Senate, I’ve helped to reduce border crime through legalization of drugs. Cutting the financial legs off of these gangs and cartels has gotten us a long way. If we take the important steps we need to, the improvements will continue, and you can count on me to do just that.

San Diego, California

Thank you, San Diego! I had a lovely afternoon at the beach, and met a lot of San Diegans- a lot of visitors too! I know tourism is important to this economy and after seeing just what is at stake here- the natural beauty and the successful industry your city has built upon it- I understand even more the need to make our best effort to preserve our shoreline. Using cleaner fuels and toughening standards for our ports will help keep this beach beautiful as long as we want it to. I will not be a President who ignores the environment, or lets it take a backseat to other priorities while claiming that I support it. In the Senate, I pushed for green legislation- environmental protection and conservation, and a green jobs bill with my friend Fuzzy.

Now even though the Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya wars are over, and our troops have been welcomed home, we can’t afford to ignore the security of our nation. Defense has long had a large presence in this city, and even though I will be a President who utilizes diplomacy over force, there is a lot of technology we must invest in to stay competitive globally, and San Diego is going to be a part of that. The future of defense starts here, I will work alongside the Senate and the Secretary of External Affairs to modernize our military and keep us adequately prepared.

I have enjoyed seeing what San Diego has to offer. Make sure to vote for Napoleon/Kalwejt in June 2012 for a better, safer Atlasia. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to catch this flight back to New York and take care of some Northeast business. The minimum wage increase has passed the Assembly unanimously and I intend to sign the bill.

Thank you for the wonderful question Sam.

I oppose offshore drilling. The BP incident, especially, shows us how dangerous offshore drilling can be. Without a huge leak, we damage the environment, and harm tourism, fishing, and other industries. With a major leak, we risk permanent and severe environmental damage and economic turmoil for spill areas. The issue needs to be handled maturely, however. Atlasia has stringent regulations that can make the process safer whereas if the buck stops at a drilling ban, the oil industry will simply move into other nations. I intend to negotiate an international pact to reduce or eliminate offshore drilling. Additionally, we will continue to move forward with renewable industry (Atlasia is already far, far ahead of America here) so that our energy supply is not significantly affected. I will not sacrifice our long term prosperity for short term political gain.

Ideas to reinvigorate the VP position will be coming soon. I am looking at the issue very closely, taking advice from current VP Tmthforu, my campaign advisor and former VP Marokai Blue, and obviously, my running mate, former and future VP Kalwejt. It is important to me to involve people who understand the position best when moving forward with reforming the position. Kalwejt and I were major proponents of the Constitutional Amendment that allowed the VP to serve simultaneously as a Cabinet Officer. We hope to continue breathing life into a position so important yet so under-utilized.

You mean the "Kalwejt amendment"? I strongly oppose it. No one would run for it, like the previous Lieutenant Governor position in the Northeast where we only ever had one elected by write in (which we both have seen firsthand ;) ).

But as President, I have no say in the Constitutional Amendment process other than my personal vote, so I couldn't do anything about it either way. :)

Anaheim, California

Thank you all for coming out tonight. It is now the time, after much deliberation and analysis of the situation we are facing, for Kalwejt and I to unveil our plans for the Vice Presidency. I'm sure that much of this will come as no surprise to you all, but I feel it is important to elaborate more on what Kalwejt and I intend to do.

The Cainet Flexibility Amendment was initially proposed by your former Senator Bgwah when I, and many others included, sought to make it easier to fill Cabinet positions when participation rates were declining and important positions were left unfilled.

Quote from: Kalwejt
I'd, however, like to propose an amendment in ny never-ending quest to make the Vice Presidency somehow relevant.


My running mate, as a former Vice President with a deep understanding of the position, has made it a personal quest to restore dignity to the Vice Presidency, and I had no hesitation before deciding to join him while I served as Northeast Senator. Together, we fought to include the Vice Presidency in the Cabinet Flexibility Amendment against a coalition of naysayers. To our mutual disappointment, our effort has not seen production. This is because it has yet to be attempted. Who better to demonstrate its value than those who conceived it?

My discussions included a number of friends, advisors, and Atlasians experienced with the Vice Presidency. We looked at alternatives, including giving Senate privileges to the Vice President, but Kalwejt and I ultimately concluded that what we fought for in the Senate needs to be given a fair chance before we look at other reforms. The current Vice President has remarked to me of occasional boredom with the position; I will not shy away from allowing Kalwejt "room to roam" so to speak. I will be placing Kalwejt in my Cabinet if I am elected and giving him a chance to shine there, as he always has as Vice President or in the Cabinet.

Bringing relevance to the position does not stop there for us. The tools are in the shed, but we must learn to use them properly. Kalwejt will act as a policy advisor, Senate liason, and as a true partner in our Administration. Having an active Vice President with leadership capabilities of his own was important to me and was a factor leading up to my choice of Kalwejt as my running mate. His previous experience will benefit the position significantly as we seek to finally prove its worth, and we look forward to demonstrating these reforms if elected.

What I don't want to see the position become is something overburned with rules and regulations that dissuade others from wanting it. Since this effort is important to Kalwejt and I, I ask for you to place your confidence in us as we set out to finally answer the question of the Vice Presidency for the long term.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to speak to you all, and I hope you enjoy Kalwejt's upcoming statement as much as I expect you will.

First of all, I want to use this opportunity to thank Prime Verin hawkeye59 for his endorsement. I might move out from Midwest some time ago, but I shall always have *hughughug* for you!

I always believed that the Vice President, elected by all Atlasians, cannot be just a guy one click away from the White House. During my time here, I saw many great Atlasians serving on this post, whose potential could not be utilized because of our political convention, that largely ignores the vice presidency.

I came back to Atlasia from retirement to be active and when Napoleon asked me to join him, I'm not intending to be an empty chair in his administration.

I'm very happy for the opportunities Cabinet Flexibility Amendment is giving us and I'd like to see it invoked not just in my case, if elected, but for my successors as well.

During this time of crisis, we need every tool and every hand on board.

Thank you.

Manhattan, New York, New York

"Governor Napoleon speaks at a New York City meeting. Supporters, donors, and Northeastern elected public officials are present as he delivers his speech."

As a strong supporter of the President I share a party with, I applaud him for what has been achieved in his two terms. Since I am the Liberal Party's candidate to succeed President Polnut, many of you are curious of how a Napoleon administration would compare to Polnut's administration.

There are a few Atlasians who have been critical of Polnut's press releases and speeches. I find them to be a great way of communicating with Atlasians and directing policy, I will continue these with pride and expand on them if I see an opportunity. I want to establish this as a respected precedent for Presidents. I serve on the Game Reform Panel President Polnut campaigned on, and have worked with Vice President Tmthforu, Senator Scott, and even Whig Chairman Pingvin and I think some good ideas have come about because of it.
 
One idea I proposed to the Panel was to have our administration serve as an ambassador to the Forum Community to identify why so many members of our forum are not participating in Atlasia. I believe that the political persuasions of the current Administration is best fit to reach out to the entire community, and hope they act on this idea soon; if they do, and if necessary still, Kal and I intend to continue reaching out.

Polnut has had an active Administration and a well-rounded active Cabinet. I hope to maintain a Cabinet that is largely similar while finding a way to include Vice President Kalwejt. President Polnut's been active in Senate debates and helped forge compromise. My administration will work in a similar manner. I point to the current session of the Northeast Legislative Assembly as a model of how I will approach legislative debate, and Kalwejt will also be very involved with Senate debates. I will keep President Polnut's record of activity going, with perhaps a bit more of a high profile in policy input, as you would expect from me.

One of the major policy achievements has been the Labor and Liberal joint effort to establish a national broadcaster, which has come under fire from Atlasia's conservatives. While I am personally ambivalent, I firmly believe in "innocent until proven guilty" and would like to judge it after letting it establishes its positives and negatives clearly. A repeal would be counter-productive considering we haven't seen it develop.

My administration will be a degree more direct with proposing our own policies, making use of the Executive Slot for priorities, and Kalwejt, too, if the Senate makes the proper changes to procedure. As Governor, I have been making my own legislative proposals and we are working as a parliamentary legislature that respects debate, compromise, and participation. I believe this attitude can translate to the federal Senate. I believe we can have an Atlasian Renaissance. Thank you for hearing me out this late. Vote Napoleon/Kalwejt, and tell your friends, too! :)

If I may address this one as well: I did strongly support this idea in past and I still hope it can be done in future. However, as Napoleon said, there's a substantial risk no one would be really interested in running for separate vice presidency. We already see this problem with many separately elected regionwide offices. First, we need to fix the game.

There are many problems with the Regional Senate seats not limited to a lack of competition and inactivity. We should evaluate possible solutions but I do not see this amendment as a solution.

No change is not always bad.  But sometimes change from the top down causes more problems than it solves.  The concept of regional senate seats is Not a flawed one.  You are correct that lack of competition and general inactivity is a problem which effects regional senate seats.  However, those issues effect every other aspect of the game.  Remember when Pingvin and Alfred Jones were elected in an At-Large Senate election unopposed?  You can't force activity, and getting rid of regional seats won't create the veil of activity the author of the bill seems to think it will.  Our current trough is merely a reality of the Atlas Fantasy Elections board.  As we near the 2012 Election, plenty of new people will sign up on this site.  After November, we will see an infusion of new blood and the consequential uptick in activity.  At that point in time, I expect much of this conversation about structural changes will cease, until our next period of activity in 2015 or thereabouts. 

No, change isn't always bad.  But you have to be smart about what you change and how you do so.

Napoleon, how do you feel about The Equal Representation Act currently being debated in the Senate?

I disagree with it, to a slightly larger degree than my disagreement with the Clarence/Yelnoc ticket's assertion that the Senate isn't broke and doesn't need fixed. In fact, I also disagree with your statements about gerrymandering, which would make my job more fun for whoever is fortunate enough to hold it.

I have been a regional Senator for two terms so what you say is nothing new to me. It might suffice to say that my own initial Senate victory was the last competitive regional Senate election. I would rather eliminate At Large seats for districts than regional seats. But saying "Regional seats at all costs" is very counter productive. If we moved to a four region map then the regional senate seats would still exist but in a different style.

I don't think saying "wait and things will pick up" is good enough for Atlasia, either.

I don't see any alternative to letting things run their natural course other than trying to make things smaller.  One way of doing that is by decreasing the number of regions to four.  I am not opposed to that by any means, and yes I recognize that in such a scenario the size of the senate would have to be reduced or some other sort of compromise reached.  But I am not someone who thinks that the fundamentals of Atlasia are broken.

This is a game of elections. When so many of our elections are uncompetitive, the fundamentals are certainly broken. Whether that requires institutional reform is another story but there is a problem with the game's fundamentals that has been clear for a while now.

Do you have a solution in mind?  I fail to see how we can make more elections competitive without increasing activity or decreasing the effective scope of the game.  The former is mostly out of our control.  The latter is worth discussing, but if you make it to cozy then in a few months you'll have people that feel left out of the process.

Speech delivered at the Jake Matthews Memorial Bridge

Atlasia needs a leader. Atlasia needs someone with a proven record of success to lead us in to a bright future. For too long we have seen a nation of pessimism and disappointment. Atlasia cannot afford a President that sits on the sidelines. Our next President must not be part of the problem.

I ran for the position of Northeast Governor in February because I felt I was uniquely positioned to bring about necessary reforms and provide a foundation for exciting political debates and contention over regional issues that would last long after my successor’s inauguration. This has been accomplished. The Northeast, a region that once had an absentee governor and an Assembly that anyone could be elected to simply by writing one’s name on the ballot, has become a model of what regions can provide to the game. Together with a group of five diverse and active Representatives, we have debated a number of bills comparable to the Atlasian Senate, accomplished many things, had productive and informative debates, and worked together to see this region succeed regardless of party or political persuasion.

We must not take for granted this opportunity to make Atlasia a better, more active place. Kalwejt and I are both innovators, and you can trust us to help Atlasia grow and prosper. We must look forward and choose the best future. This is not your typical presidential campaign. I ask you to look at my record of accomplishment as Governor, as regional Senator, as a Constitutional reformer, and even as Northeast Representative way back when, and compare it with other candidates in this race. Atlasia needs leadership who can bring experience, ideas, and unity to the White House. Kalwejt and I will not let you down.

Thank you, and please remember to vote Napoleon/Kalwejt in June 2012!

Now Oakvale is claiming
We're the only independent ticket left in the race, beholden to no special interests or third parties.
But behind closed doors he is making back room deals with candidates for other offices to gain support. Independent? No. Not beholden to special interests? Certainly not.

Vote for a ticket you can trust. Napoleon/Kalwejt, two Atlasians who say what they mean, mean what they say, and simply get things done. Because Atlasia deserves better than quid pro quo.

I would like to thank Senators Scott, Sbane, Seatown, Ilikeverin, Ben, Andrew Big Daddy, TJ, and North Carolina Yankee for supporting the New Atlasian National Healthcare Act I introduced as a Senator. The bill dates back to the era of the two party system. Mideast Senator MoPolitico of the RPP, and I as the Northeast's JCP Senator collaborated to try and reform a failing system. While the two of us eventually joined the same party and while we have both left the Senate, I am very pleased to see the spirit of bipartisan reform intact in the final version. With support from Senators of the Labor Party, the Liberal Party, the Whig Party, the Imperial Bloc and non-affiliates, we will finally see our healthcare reflect the reality of Atlasia's fiscal situation. The Senate debate really moved things forward with input and contribution from many Senators. Thank you.

If I have the privilege of serving as your President, I look forward to working with members of all parties to make Atlasia a better , stronger nation, just as I have at the regional level as Northeast Governor. Equally, I look forward to proposals that will provide the same quality of debate as this bill did.

Thanks Jbrase! I enjoyed our time in the Senate together.

Governor Napoleon on Education

As Northeast Senator, I sponsored and passed the Student Load Protection Act, prohibiting the Bureau of Student Finance from giving loans to students at predatory for-profit universities.

I sponsored and passed the Education Expansion and Competitiveness Act, which provided funding to the regions for math and science programs, university construction, and training of educators and aids Atlasia’s ability to compete in the global marketplace now and in the future.

I voted for the Student Loan Interest Rate Fairness Act, capping interest rates on student loans at a manageable level.

I voted against the Selective Education Act, which would prohibit giving federal funds to private schools; likewise, I oppose the extreme Home and Private Schooling Tax Credit Act my opponent Senator Clarence has proposed. Since regional taxes are the primary source of funding for education, the decision to give tax credits for education costs remains with each of the five regions.

I support giving regional governments more autonomy in education within reasonable boundaries. Requiring foreign language classes may be more beneficial to students in the Pacific than in the Mideast, for example.

I support lowering tuition costs for university students. When our best and brightest enter the workforce loaded with debt, it makes it more difficult for them to start businesses or families. To accompany this, I support alternative career training programs for careers that a college education would not be essential for. This would create opportunities for more young Atlasians while also contributing to lower tuition costs.

Governor Napoleon on the Economy

As Senator, I voted for the Comprehensive Social Security Reform Act after working to make it more cost-effective for tax payers. I voted in favor of President Polnut’s 2011 tax cuts and will continue the path to deficit reduction, with the goal of having a balanced budget by the end of my term.

During my term as Northeast Governor I worked across party lines to pass a wage increase that received unanimous support from the Assembly. I voted to shorten the standard work week, keeping the law in line with modern technology that doesn’t require the same labor to produce as once was the case.

I support free trade to help our economy and the economies of developing nations. Atlasia must compete in the global marketplace and I want to empower our citizens to be able to do so. Along with trade agreements, I will work to negotiate environmental impact management and labor rights treaties. I will be straight forward with China that they will no longer get a free pass to disregard human rights without being reckless or dismissive.

I believe that labor groups can be an important check on corporate power and my region has the largest percentage of private sector unionization of any region at over 13%. I do not think that business and labor are fundamentally at odds and often we see the best results when the two work in harmony.

I am a firm believer in the market economy; at the same time, I support the robust safety net we have and the strong social services that Atlasia provides. I will bring this unemployment rate down, but it won’t happen if we increase the corporate tax, which will reduce jobs and pass costs on to consumers.

It takes more than a President to govern a nation. To build a better future and bring about an Atlasian Renaissance, we need hard-working, open-minded Senators with their own ideas. The Regional Renaissance in the Northeast would not have been possible without the assistance I received from the Northeast Assembly. We don't always agree on everything but working together we have accomplished great things. Speaker Nix, former Governor Winfield, and Representatives PyroFox, Alfred Jones, and Simfan have all brought something unique to the table.

I have not decided who to support in the August mid-term elections at this point, but I do support Senator Scott in the Northeast, Senator Sbane in the Pacific, Senator North Carolina Yankee in the IDS, Senator Ben in the Mideast, and Senator Ilikeverin in the Midwest should he seek reelection. These races will have a strong impact on how the next four months will unfold no matter who is elected President. Remember this when voting and make sure to stay in touch with your regional Senator. Constituent advice is a regional Senator's strongest asset in doing their jobs as great as possible. :)

The thing is that I'm simply enjoying better working relationships with many of the Liberal Party members, than with IB. Now, I'm de facto Liberal nominee for Vice President, so I might just very well make it all official. The same reason why I haven't joined the Labor Party, which is probably closer ideologically to me. There are a lot of my friends there, but since I returned, I never worked better with any political group other than Liberals.

It was my decision only and no member of the Liberal party has ever approached me to switch parties. I've been selected as Napoleon to be his running-mate quite time ago and party ID never played a role in the process.

For the record: I wish the Imperial Bloc the best luck and I'll gladly support their candidates for offices in the IDS. It's awesome to have a regional parties.

Hello everybody! Long time no see.

I know I have seemed like a ghost in an old house these days, but I still pay attention to the affairs of Atlasia, despite how rarely I post here.

In rare form however, I would like to state my strong and enthusiastic support of the Napoleon/Kalwejt ticket. I have been in Atlasia for a long time, but few achievements rival the recovery of the Northeast that has been seen under the stewardship of Napoleon. At one point in my career, the Assembly had less than half the amount of candidates than were seats to be filled. Today, however, the Northeast is a vibrant region with competitive elections, an overhauled constitution, and an active, full assembly. I may have not been happy about everything while the New Constitution was being adopted, but the results are hard to argue with.

Napoleon was also a model Senator. In his two terms, he pushed legislation to try and limit conscription, withdraw from Libya, and legalize substances. He was active by any measure, and I fully expect him to carry that over into the Presidency.

This is by no means a one-sided ticket. In this airplane, the tail-gunner is equally formidable. Kalwejt was one of my first forum friends, and already has the experience argument won. He has served as Northeast Representative, Midwest Governor, Vice President, and Attorney General. I have worked with him, both as a fellow legislator and as the defendant in one of his cases! If a man he's convicted is willing to support him, then surely that must speak to his stellar qualification, activity, and work ethic.

I truly believe that this is a ticket whose whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. These are two forthright, honest fellows that I have known for a long time and have full confidence that they will do justice to the office of President of Atlasia.

A new poll was released showing the Napoleon/Kalwejt ticket with a double digit lead over the nearest opponent. We asked Governor Napoleon for his thoughts.

"It goes to show that when you look beyond the surface, when you examine the issues, we are favored. The Atlasian people respond positively to our message of experience, ideas, and unity. They like that we have the most independent ticket in the race. They want an active leader. I am not surprised that we have momentum on our side going into these last two weeks of the campaign.

A Dibble is a privately minted and distributed gold coin (not legal tender) that IDS residents can use voluntarily as a unit of barter. Fuzzy does not like such private enterprise and is using something in the Constitution to make a (flimsy) case that a privately made non-legal tender coinage (that's not a currency) is prohibited.

On behalf of a constituent:

Quote
Census Deep Cleaning Act of 2012

1. The Registrar General of the Census bureau shall, after the conclusion of a regular federal election, remove from the voting rolls all citizens who:

- failed to cast a ballot in that same regular federal election
- were not registered with the Census Bureau as being eligible to cast a ballot at the beginning of the previous regular federal election AND
- did not cast a ballot in any federal special election occurring within the previous two months

2. No prohibition shall be made of the subsequent re-registration, at any time, of persons removed from the voter rolls through section 1 of this act.

I do not believe this would hurt the game at all, as this bill simply removes clutter and allows inactive players to re-register if they would like.

Personally, I am glad Redalgo wasn't deregistered and is eligible to run for the Senate. Then again, I value functionality over...whatever one might call kicking voters out and forcing them to re-register...unnecessary hassle?

There are many reasons why one might miss an election...especially there first one, when they might not know the election dates. Even our President missed the last election. It happens. I hope you withdraw this bill.

I believe in growing Atlasia. We don't have enough players. Kicking people out of the game for silly reasons is crazy. I hate seeing unopposed elections. I don't like having empty offices. This bill is not a solution; it creates problems. I am proud of the fact that as Governor, there has never been less declared candidates than offices being elected during my term in the Northeast, which is hopefully going to be the new norm.

I disagree that the process is, or would become, tedious. If a citizen finds voting in an election tedious or is unwilling to enter all of five words into the New Register thread at most, and in only the most improbable and extreme of cases every two months after deregistration because he finds it tedious, I would be led to doubt whether that citizen has anything meaningful to contribute to Atlasia at all.

And as I have already demonstrated, your position is misguided, maybe even offensive. A new Atlasian may not know the election schedule. Once deregistered, may not be aware of it. Maybe the poster was unable to vote for some reason or another, as happened to even our own President. Too bad, good bye- that isn't how Atlasia should be operating. Not at all.

This is all aside from the fact that I don't believe that the RG needs to have to manage all of this on top of the normal duties- I highly doubt you plan on serving forever and it is a pretty thankless position as is.

I respect your opinion, Governor, but I disagree with it. I apologize if you have taken offense - it was far from my intent. Regardless, I think we've both laid out good cases for our ways of thinking - we'll let the Senate decide. I will say no more on this matter unless asked to do so by that esteemed body. I have strayed too far already from the impartiality of my office.

As I've said in another thread, I would be willing to compromise on the bill so that registries would have to miss multiple elections to be removed from the registry.  I understand if someone forgets to vote in an election or two, but people who never do anything don't have much of a reason to stay on the list, and it takes a mere five seconds to re-register if necessary.

I wasn't referring to offending me, by the way, but the "rejected" new members. I think our country should allow for innocent mistakes and I think our country should be doing what we can to retain and invite members. I use the example of Redalgo, who happened to miss his first election. I have no idea why, but he clearly wants to participate and I think he will make a great Senator. And I would point out that if he hadn't known he had been deregistered, and tried to declare for the Senate seat when he did, he wouldn't be able to run and we would still have zero candidates. I hope you and the supporters of this bill are able to give some consideration to the practical concerns I see in this bill even if you don't share my belief that the bill is unnecessary and complicating.

Also, I disagree that serving us as RG should prohibit you from taking political stands. As long as you aren't abusing your power, you should feel comfortable doing what you would like (though I would consider toning down the pessimism toward new members- my preferred approach is positive encouragement).

This is a totally ridiculous thing to get worked up over.  If you do absolutely nothing in Atlasia and have shown your inactivity time and time again, there's nothing wrong with being asked to take a few seconds to post in the registration thread again.  At least taking off the people who don't do anything gives us a good idea of how many people actually do anything.  As I have said for the third time, I will make compromises to the legislation (raising the limit to how many elections someone can miss, PMing warnings, etc.), but I am not withdrawing it.

Post by: Napoleon on June 19, 2012, 01:32:26 AM
Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch have been fired. My new campaign song will be Connecticut Uber Alles, written by Snowstalker and performed by Snoop Dogg.

Atlasia needs a President that can transcend typical partisan divides to get things done. I know that I can be that leader. Despite the attacks made against me by rival campaigns, I proudly stand by my record of working across partisan and political divides. My pragmatic approach works.

Throughout my "career", we have accomplished Constitutional reform, OSPR reform, Cabinet reform, VP reform, SOAP reform: all nonpartisan efforts. We ended the wars with support from leftists and rightists. We saved health care by working across the aisle. We invested in education and infrastructure with proposals that had bipartisan support. Remember these facts when they try to tell you otherwise.

As Governor of the Northeast, I learned what it is like to be a successful executive. I have had to work with right wing majorities in the legislature and I have had to work with left wing majorities in the legislature and progress was made no matter what. In fact, this most recent session had an Assembly that was only 20% Liberal: I haven't had a problem working with Labor, Whigs, and Independents. These skills will come handy as President- the job is tougher, the legislature is twice as large, a Cabinet needs managed, there are more bills being debated- but I believe that my pragmatic approach will work.

As President, I will work with all Senators to reduce unemployment, which I hope to push below 6% nationally. I will work with all Senators to reduce the deficit without slashing the programs Atlasians rely on. I will work closely with the Senate and party will not matter. Kalwejt and I are tested and trusted: we will get the job done and are honored to have your support. Thank you.

Governor Napoleon (for now)

Im not really interested in your positions. I am interested in what you plan to actually do. Not exactly the same thing. Without a moderator I don't see much purpose. My thread is always open for any questions at any time.

Presidential Policy Priorities

I will seek the creation of a national university system, with campuses in all five regions. This system will give us the capacity to educate more of our young people and expand their opportunities for future careers, with the additional benefit of construction ans education job creation.

I will seek the prohibition of federal "land swaps", a modified version of a previous proposal of mine that will not interfere with regional lands.

I will seek to prohibit using tips or commissions from counting toward an employee's minimum compensation.

I will seek to diversify the tax code and decrease income tax rates if possible. It is too easy to evade an income tax for the very wealthy.

I will negotiate fair agreements with China regarding their currency and work to mediate conflicts in the Middle East through diplomatic means.

I will reconsider our use of drone technology and the moral hazards associated with it.

I will push for programs designed to help those struggling with mental health and disabilities by giving them options for treatment or therapy with compassionate care.

I will reform immigration laws and allow foreign students studying in Atlasia the opportunity to work here and apply for citizenship.

These policies will help Atlasia move forward and I will closely with Senators of any party to ensure they become law, in addition to proposals from individual Senators that may come forward.:)

I am now a Mideast resident. I will always love the Northeast region, but it is time to see what others can do there. If I am needed for anything, I am here and willing to help. The reason for my move: a simple change of pace. Being a political minority has its own sort of fun. :)

Now, back to business, I have tried to present to you the policies I support and will pursue as best as I can and I have used examples from my time in the Assembly, Senate and as Governor to back up what I present. Hopefully, you found this campaign informative enough. I would have liked to see more discussion of critical issues, and I still do not know what exactly some of my opponents intend to actually do if elected, but I trust that voters will make the right choice when they go to vote. I encourage anyone voting for me to give their second and third preferences to the Tweed and Oakvale tickets in any order, and stay united. While the bulk of the campaign is now complete, the election is just getting started, if you know what I mean. My record of accomplishment, activity, and ability to compromise is unrivaled in this race, excepting perhaps my own running mate. If you find these as important as I do, I would appreciate your support. :)

In the meantime we will be criss-crossing the country, and refusing to back down in the fight for progress. It is easy to talk a good game in campaign mode; it is more difficult to actually show something for it while governing. Napoleon/Kalwejt June 2012- Results over Rhetoric. Time to revive this game. :)
