Here's the map you requested, Senator...



This was a really difficult scenario to think about, since I can't recall the last time a Republican candidate in the state was such a fierce libertarian. I think Paul would underperform somewhat in Fairfield County and overperform in the eastern counties, but honestly, such an unusual matchup has never occured and it's anyone's guess.

[CatoMinor]

thank you

[CatoMinor]

I would like to think I speak for everyone on the ballot for At-large senate* when I say,

debate please.

We did not have time for one in the special election a few weeks ago, but we should have enough time for this election if we get one going fairly soon.




*Except those with safe seats and nothing to worry about, *cough* Duke and Snowguy *cough*

The trouble is, we only have four declared candidates for five seats. Why debate if we know the outcome of the election already?

Hello all. I am not great at writing speeches so I will go with pasted together clips of inspirational movie speeches.

I guarantee a week won't go by in your life you won't regret walking out, letting them get the best of you. Well, I'm not going home. We've come too far! And I'm going to stay right here and fight for this lost cause. A day may come when the courage of men fails... but it is not THIS day. The line must be drawn HERE. This far, no further! I'm not saying it's going to be easy. You're going to work harder than you ever worked before. But that's fine, we'll just get tougher with it! If a person grits his teeth and shows real determination, failure is not an option. That's how winning is done! Believe me when I say we can break this army here, and win just one for the Gipper. But I say to you what every warrior has known since the beginning of time: you've got to get mad. I mean plum mad dog mean. If you would be free men, then you must fight to fulfill that promise! Let us cut out their living guts one inch at a time, and they will know what we can do! Let no man forget how menacing we are. We are lions! You're like a big bear, man! This is YOUR time! Seize the day, never surrender, victory or death... that's the Chicago Way! Who's with me? Clap! Clap! Don't let Tink die! Clap! Alright! Let's fly! And gentlemen in England now abed shall know my name is the Lord when I tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our Independence Day!

[CatoMinor]

Thanks to all those who voted for me

[CatoMinor]

Hello all,

I would like to thank you all for having elected me At-Large Senator, and then re-electing me for a full term. I have not been nearly as active in the later half of my term as I wished and promised to be, something I apologize for. It is for that reason I would like to announce that I shall not seek another term in the Senate. When I was first elected in the special election, I had came into the election expecting 3rd, maybe 2nd if I was lucky. But with the support of the people of Atlasia we defied the odds and won. It is my hope that my election will serve as a reminder that no one party has a monopoly on elections, and that the independent voice within Atlasia is alive and strong.

I would also like to take this opportunity to an ounce that once my term has expired I shall be seeking election to the IDS Legislature.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

If you need things to do I have a bill waiting for introduction to the Senate

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Do I foresee a competitive regional election?

[CatoMinor]

Thank you all for recently electing me back into the IDS Legislature. The Southern National Party has had its first of soon to be many victories! It is my hope that I can work with others in the legislature to continue to make the South the greatest place on earth!

As for the Pacific Crisis....

I cannot support the steps taken by the legislature and I will stand firmly with the Emperor to make sure this situation is defused and never happens again. The Emperor has supreme authority over the Imperial Militia and it is under the Emperor's authority only that such actions can be taken. I feel at this time the best course of action is to create refugee camps to aid and assist all the Pacific citizens fleeing the chaos that is likely to take over their region. 

[Maxwell]

Congratulations Jbrase, and obviously I agree with you on the Government of the South overreaching on this Pacific issue.

[Dereich]

How very disappointing. I had hoped you'd be a supporter of our efforts to bring order and southern hospitality to our friends in the Pacific

[CatoMinor]

Sorry to disappoint, but the use of the IDS militia and the Pacific are areas I am all too familiar with from my tenure as Governor/Emperor. I can only see this backfiring on the South if we do not handle differently.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I'm on the same page as Jbrase and Sjoyce here. I find that being in charge tends to moderate you. It's harder to justify quixotic pursuits when the buck stops with you, so to speak. Not to impugn those who voted in favor, but I find that different jobs promote different mentalities.

Press release (also with southern translation)

People of the IDS, I would like to inform you all that after much consideration, I have decided to introduce a bill that if passed would label the NM-AM a terrorist organization. From their efforts to drive Homelycooking insane in the new register thread or on ballots, to their bringing the Pacific region to it's knees, they have clearly demonstrated in their actions that this is needed.

Fella sud'ners, yours truly would like y'all to know that I have gone and wrote a bill. I say, this here bill will designate the NM-AM a terrorist group for the whole mess of trouble they have caused. If passed we will move ahead yonder in the right direction, I tell'ya what.

- Nym bless!
