[tmthforu94]

I just made this banner. Tell me if you like it:

Here's a rough-draft of the party bylaws, mostly taken from the RPP's old bylaws. Discuss this as well.

Party Bylaws

Chair and Vice-Chair

1.) The chairman and vice-chair shall serve a term of at least four months
2.) This term shall conclude two weeks before the beginning of a presidential election
3.) The chairman and vice-chair are voted on at the party convention by approval voting
4.) If the chair or vice-chair fails to gain 50% of the party's support, they are removed from office and a new election is held for the position
5.) Should the Chairman not be available at the start of the convention, the Vice Chairman shall run the convention, and may delegate specific tasks to trusted members of the MCPR.
 
Endorsements
 
1.) To receive the endorsement of the Mideast Citizens for Progress and Reform, a candidate must make it publically known in the party or convention thread that he would like an endorsement.
 
2.) All party members shall be automatically endorsed by the MCPR. All other candidates must be voted on to receieve an endorsement.
 
Conventions
 
1.) The MCPR convention shall begin approximately two weeks prior to a Presidential Election. The Chairman or Vice Chairman may close the convention when all business has been conducted.
2.) When the Chairman or Vice Chairmen opens the convention, a list of all party members must be listed. Party members are encouraged to sign in when a convention starts. A link to the bylaws should also be listed.
3.) All conventions must be held within the Mideast region.

As of now, I'm proud to say the MCPR has a majority of Assembly seats as well as the Regional Senator. Our Governor and one of our at-large Senator's is also in the group, just not the party.

Woohoo!

This is good.

Should we mandate that the Convention be held in the Mideast Region as well?

[tmthforu94]

Nice catch! I'll include it.

Is everyone OK with the logo? Feel free to come up with something better if you don't like it.

[tmthforu94]

Got it

Is everyone OK with the logo? If not, feel free to make a better one.

I like it

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'm content

[tmthforu94]

Seeing as there were no objections, we will proceed to vote on the party bylaws and party logo. This shall last 48 hours.

Bylaws: AYE
Logo: AYE

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Aye to both.

[tmthforu94]

An idea...

Why don't the MCPR sponsor a debate for the Assembly? I don't think an Assembly debate has been done, but considering our high number of candidates, it may be a good idea.

That would be nice and since we have so many candidates it also makes sense.

[tmthforu94]

Props to the Governor for carrying out one of our ideas!

- Publish a monthly "newsletter" which citizens can easily access to see what's been going on in the Mideast in the past month, from bills passed to arguments to election results.

Also, I've been working hard on the Wiki today -
- First, I update the citizen list on the Mideast page, though it's not in ABC order.
- I also created a Wiki Page for the party:
https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/MCPR
- Finally, I'm in the process of creating a page for every Mideast citizen - if any Mideasterners want something added to their page, just message me, and I'll be MORE than happy to add it!

[ZuWo]

If I may vote as an "other member" it's
 
Aye
Aye

[Simfan34]

I'd like to join as an other member.

[tmthforu94]

I'd like to join as an other member.

Welcome!

[tmthforu94]

Having both recieved unanimous support, the party bylaws and logo have been adopted.


Some Good News:
I just got finished creating a Wiki Page for all Mideast residents! Unfortunately, some of our older members have outdated pages, and newer member pages aren't too detailed. I encourage all Mideast residents to head over to the Wiki and check out their page. If you have anything they'd like to have added or changed, please contact me via PM and I'd be more than happy to work on your page.

Just for the sake of maps and whatnot, what is this party's official color?

Purple for now, as I don't think any other party has it.
