My official office as Speaker of the Mideast Assembly.

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

Press Release: Speaker Inks.LWC makes fiery speech on Assembly floor this evening

During a period of open discussion, a visibly frustrated Speaker Inks.LWC walks up to his chair at the front of the Assembly.

Fellow Assemblymen and citizens of the Mideast, today this Assembly passed two very short-sighted amendments.  As a life-long resident of the Mideast, and someone who has seen this region go through many cycles of activity and inactivity, I am deeply disappointed that my advice was ignored.  This assembly has now passed two amendments to our Constitution that will be on the ballot: one that will place back the Lt. Governorship and strip this Assembly of its ability to choose its leader, and another that will raise the size of the Assembly to 5 members (at least until 2014).

These amendments are the result of short-sightedness from some of my colleagues (for whom I still have much respect and generally agree with) and a select few influential citizens of this region.

I urge the citizens of this region to reject these amendments, at least for the time being.  Before we begin growing the size of our government, we should ensure that we have active members in our government.  I should also point out that these two votes were the first time that all five of our Assembly members actually engaged in voting in the Assembly.

I am deeply disappointed that these amendments made it out of this Assembly, but I have faith and confidence in the citizens of this region to reject these shortsighted amendments.

Why is it so easy to pass Constitutional amendments?

Why is it so easy to pass Constitutional amendments?

The Assembly merely votes and that puts them on the ballot.  It'll still require 2/3 majority when the people vote on it.

Press Release: Inks.LWC rejoins the Whig Party

After much consideration over the past few weeks, I have decided to return to the Whig Party.  There was no single reason for my change back, and I have no hard feelings toward the MCPR or Tmthforu94 whatsoever.  I simply feel that the Whig Party is a better fit for me.

No worries. We were glad to have you!

Oh, I completely missed that! I was of the opinion that a simple majority would be enough for an amendment to pass but what you say is obviously correct. Ok, that makes more sense - it's good to see that constitutional amendments face some obstacles.

Welcome back to the Whig Party, btw!

Press Release: Inks.LWC comments on the recent votes by the citizens

Recently the citizens of this great region cast votes on 3 important issues.  I was happy to see a rejection of the amendments to bring back the Lt. Governor position and  change the Assembly size to a permanent 5 members.

I was also happy to see the citizens vote for the amendment to the alcohol bill, overruling the Assembly who rejected the bill in what I considered to be a severe disconnect with what the people of the region want.

I was very pleased with the turnout and outcome of these votes.

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

Press Release: Inks.LWC is running for reelection!

Yes, it's true.  I am running for reelection in next week's election.  Most of you already know my stances on policies.  I'll take questions if anyone has any.

Press Release: The Upcoming Gubernatorial Election

Fellow citizens, we are now days away from our next election, and in this election we have 2 great candidates for Governor.  I have known both of them a long time, and both of them, if elected, will serve this region very well.

It is for this reason that I have decided against endorsing anyone for that race.  I wish both of them the best, and I look forward to working with whoever is elected.

###

[Jayhawker]

Thank you for your kind comments. Best of luck on reelection - you should have nothing to worry about.

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

I'll be running again.  If you have any questions, I welcome them.

[ZuWo]

You have both my support and vote.

I have one question, though: Are you happy with your nearly 'life-time' position as Speaker of the Mideast Assembly or could you imagine to run for any other office again?

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

I've held every position in the region at one time or another, and I've run a couple times for federal positions, and was appointed to one.  My time as Governor saw one of the most successful periods of time for the Mideast, and I really enjoyed it.

But I love being in the Assembly, so as long as the citizens would like to keep me there, that's where I would like to stay.

Press Release from the Speaker

I have decided I will be releasing a weekly statistical analysis of activity in the Assembly for the session.  This will be released on Fridays but accounts for all activity for the session, not just the past week.  This will include a breakdown of the percentage of time that people vote or don't vote, and how often people cast a decisive vote (AYE/NAY) or abstain.

Final Votes: 13
Amendment Votes: 12

Member	Not Voting	Voting	ABSTAIN	YES/NO
Inks.LWC	0%	100%	0%	100%
20RP12	13%	88%	17%	71%
Gass3268	21%	79%	4%	75%
Mr. X	4%	96%	9%	87%
TexasDemocrat	5%	95%	5%	89%

I also thought it'd be fun to break down the percentages that people vote with each other.  Any time a member did not vote, that vote was not counted; however an abstention was counted.

Member 1	Member 2	Matching Vote Percentage
Inks.LWC	20RP12	76%
Inks.LWC	Gass3268	53%
Inks.LWC	Mr. X	35%

Darn, I didn't realized i missed so many votes. This is something I will work to correct!

[For Oklahoma]

To be fair, I was experiencing intermittent internet failure for most of the past week, so my activity levels are lower than they should be

Although we disagree on some issues, you're a credit and a half to the Assembly. Endorsed!

[Jayhawker]

Inks has been a valuable asset to our region for as long as I can remember, and it would be a crying shame if he didn't win reelection. He's an excellent legislator and representative for Mideasterners.

[Sibboleth]

Inks has a long record of fascism and crypto-nazi politics. He must be voted out. No! He must be chased away from this place with fire and, perhaps, the sword.
