Office of NE Speaker Alfred F. Jones: At Least Now I Won't Be Bothering Yankee

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Victory!

Again, wow.

I am honored to be elected Senator in this great nation, and as my first foray into politics at that.

I'd like to thank my friends, my family, and Snowstalker (for not running in the special election ). I'd also like to congratulate Senator PIngvin on his win, as I am not the only victor tonight.

My fellow Atlasians, tonight I stand before you prepared to fight for the values you hold dear. I am ready to stand up for the shrinking Atlasian middle class, and to slay the beat of wealth-coddling Whigs. I am here to stand up for the worker as well, if you can't tell by my party affiliation.

I'm ready. We're all ready. And when we start fighting for the change we want and need, the sleeping giant known as Atlasia will wake up, rub the sleep from its eyes, and see .

It will see that we are above all this, that we are above petty squabbles, and that we are ready.

We are going to do this, Atlasia.

Thank you, Dave bless you, and Dave bless the Republic of Atlasia!

[pillage the village, trash the scene]

Grats!

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Grats!

You too.

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Well, I think we've had a good start.

We've already helped everyday Atlasian workers with the Homeonwner Protection Act, and are in the process of helping people with the Health Care Act. I'm also fulfilling my promises with the National Muffin Act.

But there are some who would have me out of office in only a few weeks. The election comes soon, Atlasia, and we can't afford to take all the progress away.

We need to keep fighting. Fighting for you, the middle class. Fighting for you, the poor, downtrodden, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. I'm going to stay right where I am, but Atlasia will keep moving forward. Thank you, and Dave bless you.

[pillage the village, trash the scene]

Senator, are you considering joninig Pirate Caucus?

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Oh, I already have .

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

OK!

We've got no less than 4 Labor candidates running for office, and I hope sincerely that my friendly friends in Atlasia (16 voters) will help give us a quadruple-win and knock out the Whig Party.

You see, Senator Pingvin is my good friend, but I abhor the party of the Whigs. We must stand up against their POTENTIAL tyranny and fight for the rights of the working and middle classes.

We can't afford to lose now, Atlasia! This economy is sending the good people of this country down the drain, and the Whig Party is not helping! I urge you, my countrymen to replace Senators TJ, Pingvin, and Clarence with Senators Seatown, Snowstalker, and Dr. Cynic. But please, preference them after me; I'd like to continue serving you.

Thank you, and Dave bless you all.

[Senator Clarence]

You've got issues kid

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

You've got issues kid

I'm campaigning, what do you expect me to do?

[Senator Clarence]

Tyranny of the Whigs? I am not sure if that is a characterization of our views- which is inaccurate- or at how we are "tyrants"- which is impossible when we have only three Senators and we do not have the Presidency...

[Yelnoc]

I'm campaigning, what do you expect me to do?

I expect subtlety.  I expect to persuaded, not told what to do.  I expect to see the truth misrepresented rather than outright lies.

Just some friendly tips

I've always thought that misrepresentation was for politicians and lying was for candidates. Look at Gov. Gingrich (R-Moon).

[Senator Snowstalker]

Endorsed.

If we could, we'd all be tyrants.

I'll add a 'potential' in there. And--excuse me on this; I've only really learned much about Pingvin's positions-you guys seem to enjoy controlling women.

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

A Statement

When *not if ) you guys vote for me, I'd like you to place Seatown as your 2nd preference. He's a good guy who knows his issues well and has got some heart to him. You know what? Here's my ideal voting ballot:

1. Alfred F. Jones
2. Seatown
3. Snowstalker
4. Dr. Cynic

Sorry, Snowy!

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

OK, it's voting time! I'd like to thank my family and stuff, and if I don't win, at least I'll have had a good run! Now:

Let's do this! Alfred F. Jones at #1!

And Seatown and Snowy at 2 and 3 (in whichever order). Also, Andrew's cool, so put him at 4, OK.

OBEY.

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Okay...

I lost.

Well, I'd like to thank the three or so people who voted for me, and that's about it.

However, I will be back! I intend to run for Northeast Assembly once a vacancy is available, probably because wormyguy will be elected Senator.

Gov. Napoleon: Watch out, because I'm going to show up and make some enemies.

Maybe.

Anyway, see y'all!

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

I wouldn't count on Wormy's being elected just yet, but you'll be welcome in the Assembly if there is a special election and you do choose to run. (And I'm sure that you'll have an easier time holding down a Senate seat with the experience and connections that come from being active in regional politics.)

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Yeah. I think both Pingvin's seat and mine were flukes caused by the facts that we were pretty much the only candidates running.

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Rochester, NY (my hometown, in fact):

All right, folks. I'm coming home!

Now, I'm probably going to win the special election, seeing as I'm pretty much the unofficial LibLab establishment candidate right now, but I'm going to fight every step of the way. Especially when/if I'm in office.

We're going to make the Northeast a better place for everyone. You, me, him, her, it, that dog. We're saving everyone right now, because we're going to help you.

You, the common man/woman/other.

When/if elected, I will fight for the working Atlasian. Just take a look at my party affiliation.

Now, let's get out there, and let's take back the future! If it doesn't need taking back, let's keep moving forward!

Thank you Rochester, and Dave bless.

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

Henrietta? Do you attend RIT? You're only a few miles downstream from me.

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Hey, guys, I'm back!

Now, I don't mean to intrude upon the Presidential campaign, which is far more important than a lowly down-ballot campaign, but I'd just like to remind y'all of who the Northeast's real candidate is:

Me.

Now, I know that Jerseyrules is probably a mainstay of Atlasian politics (he seems like one, at least) but his economic policies are the exact opposite of what the Northeast, and Atlasia as a whole, needs.

I'm going to fight for the Northeast worker. I'm going to make sure that every Northeasterner has a happy, shiny life, because I support the middle class! I support the Atlasian Dream, if such a dream exists. I know that people are hurting, and taking away a helping hand from those who need it most is one of the worst possible roads we could go down. We've got to stand up for the good people of the Northeast, because I believe in a better life.

I'm Alfred F. Jones, and I approve this message.

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

You have my endorsement, as Northeast Speaker, and my vote.

While Jerseyrules' colorful participation in Northeastern politics predates my involvement, I'm confident that you will do more to contribute to the atmosphere of open, honest debate and respectful congeniality that now reigns in the Northeastern Assembly.

Best of luck!

[Governor Scott]

Once again, I proudly endorse Alfred F. Jones for tomorrow's special election!

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Thanks, amigos!
