Labor Party Standing Committee thread: Endorsement voting

[Senator Napoleon]

Now, now, boys, let's not fight. We can tear each other apart after we're done with Clarence and Yelnoc.

Ideally the tearing each other apart business stops once we are done with Clarence and Yelnoc.

[Governor Scott]

I wasn't trying to fight, necessarily... just give an observation.

So...how should I start my political career?

[Senator Napoleon]

So...how should I start my political career?

What issues do you focus on? You can propose laws in the Pacific Legislature.

[Governor Scott]

One thing you might want to consider is recruiting non-players to join and register in the Pacific Region.  I'm not even sure if the Pacific Legislature is filled due to the inactivity. :/

Isn't the Pacific Legislature universal?

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that.  It's still practically vacant in a sense, though.

Yep. I think there's a correlation between the fact that the two regions with universal legislatures are also the two regions with the lowest population and activity.

Morgieb, you may want to look at this image I threw together a couple of weeks ago to get an idea of the power structure in the region:

You'd pretty much have to run for Governor or Lt. Governor to get your start in the Pacific, or see about the vacant judicial slot if it's still open. Any election in the Pacific would be favorable for you unless you had more qualified Labor competition; a large plurality of the region is Labor.

[Governor Scott]

The Pacific already has a Governor and a Lt. Governor, but it still needs someone to really spark activity there.  PMing non-players to promote the region would be a great way to start off.

I got motivated to replicate my signature image so everybody can whore out their space!

[Emperor SJoyce]

Those are some... interesting images. Are those marijuana plants and migrant workers?

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

I think the Pacific sign represents illegal immigrants stealing hard-working Atlasians' jobs. The Midwest one looks weird, though. Why is the sky orange?

Also, Mr. Griffin, the new Northeast Lieutenant Governor is a Whig.

Maybe? Or maybe it's hemp and good, hard-working non-migrant workers. Who knows?

They're all supposed to look a little weird. I liked the original image (which had an orange sky) so I played around with it. Also, yes, some of the seats on that power graphic have changed (notably, Lt Gov of NE & my seat) but I won't be creating a new one until July 10, as it'll be a once-per-month thing for me.

I am going to file an amicus brief on behalf of the respondent in the ridiculous Supreme Court case Young Tweed v. Department of Federal Elections. I make no secret of my previous support for Tweed back when he had balls and made some degree of sense but this is just cowardly and absurd. Normally I wouldn't consider this an emergency but the Supreme Court is already acting sufficiently frivolous as to have granted certoriari so there's no telling what they might do.

Regardless of our own political sympathies and the regrettable intraparty disputes of the past I urge us to come together in support of Atlasian democracy. I'd like to be able to file my brief in the name of the Standing Committee of the Whole of the Labor Party of Atlasia. If anybody objects to this within the next two hours (as of the original posting time) I will open an emergency vote. I urge however that the Party allow her Chairman to file in her name on behalf of the candidate whom she already endorsed and who was duly elected by the people.

[Is JCL in mushy sappy love]

As a Whig is like to attach my name to this brief. There were irregularities that were counted in his favor and my write in was wrongly disallowed.

[asexual trans victimologist]

The brief is in favor of certifying Napoleon's elections on the grounds that Tweed's interpretation of the Constitution is overtly political and hence not adjudicable according to the common law. Whosoever is clear on that and would like to attach their name to the brief in knowledge of that, I'll gladly do so.

I agree. We made an endorsement, and we owe it to the candidate to stick to that promise.

[asexual trans victimologist]

Two hours have passed and there has been no objection. The brief will be signed as such.

'THE STANDING COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE OF THE LABOR PARTY OF ATLASIA
Nathan, Chairman; Snowstalker, Vice-Chairman
Cosigned by Northeast Governor Averroës Nix and Mideast Assemblyman Johannus Calvinus Libertas'

[Governor Scott]

May I sign on, too?   I find this whole thing incredibly ridiculous, as well.

[asexual trans victimologist]

Of course.

[Senator Ben]

I'd also like to sign.

[GM Griffin]

Myself as well.

[hawkeye59]

me too

[Diabolical Minds Think Alike]

You know what? F**k it. Throw my name on there. This outta be a muthaf**kin' ride.

[asexual trans victimologist]

All members of the Labor Party are on it as a matter of course, but I can add some 'especially' in there.
