Imperial Bloc - A Party for the South

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

What if there is more then one for single office?

[CatoMinor]

I think we should endorse Clarence because we should endorse Clarence.

Lets follow the By-Laws

I say the bylaws should be amended to read "any citizen of the IDS seeking a federal office shall be automatically endorsed by the Imperial Bloc, unless explicitly stated otherwise."  What do you guys think?

I disagree, unless they are within the party, no one should get an auto-endorsement. Someone who is hackishly anti-regional rights could end up with our endorsement simply for living in the south.

My hope was that we would be aware enough to de-endorse them.  And that's a good point, Yankee.  Let's at least amend the bylaws to not require the candidate to ask for our endorsement.  It's a nice courtesy, but I dislike hamstringing organizations in red tape.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Xahar, Hashemite and Kalwejt have at various points resided in the IDS and would be auto-endorsed if they ran. By auto-endorsing we create situaiton where if any delay or problem happens and time runs out, they can't be dis-endorsed. As a former party chairman, what is supposed to be seemless, efficient and easy can often get messed up and missed entirely simiply because a few hours weren't accounted for. I am not saying wouldn't endorse them regardless of the race or the circumstances, I am just saying that we shouldn't auto-endorse anyone.

@ Yelnoc
I am confused, are you referring to same thing or about a new proposal that puts all declare candidates on the endorsement ballot?

If it is "auto-ballot access", I don't have a problem, provided they can request they not be considered and provided a window to express such like 24 hours or something.

[Yelnoc]

Yes, we are on the same page.

[Tidewater_Wave]

I'm joining this party.

[Yelnoc]

I'm joining this party.

Welcome to the Imperial Bloc!

And I'll take the radio silence as agreement.  Article III, Section 2, Part A has been amended to read "The Imperial Bloc may choose by majority vote to cross-endorse candidates from other parties running for federal offices, assuming no Imperial Bloc candidate is already in the race."

[CatoMinor]

While not a member of the party, the south has had a victory tonight in the Senate race in Clarence winning.

[Yelnoc]

Congratulations Clarence!

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Thank you very much Jbrase and Yelnoc- I will be proud to work with the Imperial Bloc

[Yelnoc]

Just so everyone is aware, the Imperial Bloc is still active.  We're just waiting our moment to pounce.

And still accepting all southerners.  I can think of a few people that really should join

[Yelnoc]

Everybody give a warm welcome to...

*drum roll*

The Emperor!

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Im am interested in joining the bloc with the PLP's failure.

Awesome, just register and you're in!

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I am pleased to be here. Despite the speed bump of recent inactivity, make no mistake: the South is here & it will not be ignored.

[Pingvin]

So what do you guys think about coalition agreement?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Al-Ba'ath Party (Atlasian Section) is principaly in favor of advancement of the Imperial interests.

[Yelnoc]

So what do you guys think about coalition agreement?

While we support friendly collaboration with other parties, I don't know that any coalition agreement would bring tangible results, at least not at this time.

Al-Ba'ath Party (Atlasian Section) is principaly in favor of advancement of the Imperial interests.

Excellent.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

After long talks with our comrades we decided that the eintire Al-Ba'ath Party (Atlasian Section) is going to join our comrades within the Imperial Bloc!

[Mechaman]

Comrade Mechaman has answered the call to service in the arms of the Imperial Bloc.  A Bloc dedicated to advocating the fullest ideals of the revolutionary South and it's contributions to the Atlasian society.  I humbly believe that at this time I've been called by a higher power to join Comrade Yelnoc, Comrade Kalwejt, and all of my other friends in this glorious party to bring forwards a better future for the Greatest Southland.

Alright, what about Non-Competition Agreement?

Heh, let's talk when we can find some competition in the south.  All we're doing now is scrambling to fill vacancies

[Yelnoc]

Oh hey, we've got a mega-election weekend coming up.  The at-large senate elections begin this Friday, I believe, and we also have regional elections this weekend.  Emperor PiT is up for reelection, as are our two Class B legislators, Taft4Prez and ChairmanSanchez.  They are all party mates who, in my opinion, have done a very good job in their offices and should be reelected.

As to the At-Large election, I'll let you all know upfront I plan on preferencing TJ and Clarence 1 and 2, as they are both buds of mine.  This is kind of short notice, so I don't know that we have time to do a formal endorsement process, but any candidate for the AL-Senate seats that want the Imperial Bloc endorsement, post here to ask for it and we will consider it.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Thank you Yelnoc- I am honored by your support

As a Southerner I ask for the Imperial Bloc endorsement... I spent time in the Legislature and was active there and have been an active Senator. I have put forward and debated many pieces of legislation in my short term and of course will always stand up for the South

Let me know if anyone has any questions...Iwould be grateful to have your endorsement
