Official Mr. X for Mideast Assembly Campaign Headquarters

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Welcome, glad you could stop by  Please make yourself at home and help yourself to some refreshments.



I welcome your questions, concerns, and thoughts on the issues of the day, the campaign, or really whatever you would like to ask or tell me.  The mideast has always been the backbone of Atlasia and if you do me the honor of reelecting me to the Mideast Assembly, I promise that I will continue to be a tireless advocate for the mideast.  While I am a proud liberal and will never downplay this fact I have always done everything in my power to work with members of all parties to further the interests of Atlasia and, most importantly, the mideast.  I know that together we can continue our beloved region's legacy of greatness!  I also want to say that it has been a privilege to work with Assemblymen Gass3268, 20RP12, TexasDem, Speaker Inks, and Governor Tmthforu94.  Although we may not always agree, I think you have all been excellent public servants and you have all done the Mideast proud!  This session, we have already passed comprehensive education reform bill and we are on the cusp of reforming the region's labor laws, passing major immigration reform, and we have made a great deal of progress towards the passage of the region's first balanced budget.  I hope that I can count on your support, but regardless of how you vote my door will always be open.  Thank you for your time and Dave bless the Mideast

Mr. X on some of the major issues of the day:

The Budget: I believe that Governor Tmthforu94, myself, and my colleagues in the Mideast Assembly have made great strides towards a balanced budget and while there is still much work to do, we have demonstrated that we are serious about passing the region's first balanced budget.  If you do me the honor of reelecting me to the Assembly, I promise to continue to fight for a responsible balanced budget.  

Immigration: During my first term in the Assembly, I sponsored the Mideast Immigration Reform Act which includes a number of important reforms to our immigration system designed to provide an easier path to citizenship for immigrants.

Unions/Labor laws: I will not run away from the fact that I supported the controversial Union Liberation Act.  However, after Governor Tmthforu94 vetoed it, I worked closely with Assemblyman Gass3268 and the Governor to craft a compromise bill/amendment to the Labor Relations Act which I believe represents a tremendous step forward for our region's labor laws.  This was also a victory for pragmatic governance over ideological rigidity.

Education: I am proud to have cast a crucial vote for the Teaching Reform Act of 2012 which, though not perfect, represents a vast improvement in our great region's education system.

Mideasternism: The party that coined the term may have dissolved, but I remain an enthusiastic supporter of Mideasternism

Pragmatism not extremism:  I believe that I have made good on my promise to govern not as an ideological partisan nor a calculating flip-flopper, but as a principled pragmatist.  If reelected, I will remain a strong liberal voice in the Assembly, but I will also continue to work with the Governor and my fellow Assemblymen to develop compromises that incorporate the best of both sides' positions whenever possible.  I'm sure Governor Tmthforu94 can attest to the fact that while we may not always agree, my door has always been open and I am more than willing to try work out fair compromises.  Remember my friends, the road to prosperity leads not through ideological extremism, but through pragmatism.  

If anyone would like to know more about my positions on these or any other issues, I welcome your questions, comments, criticisms, etc.  I hope that I can count on your support  Thank you and Dave bless the Mideast!

No one has any questions

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I want to thank Senator Ben for his endorsement and thank Governor Tmthforu94 for his extremely kind words (the feeling is mutual, Governor ).

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Okay I can ask questions.

What's your stance on euthanasia ?

Are you in favor of some sort of protectionism ?

What would you do to reduce the number of people dying of tobacco-related illnesses in the future ?

What would you change in the UNO ? (you cannot say "nothing" )

Euthanasia: I think physician assisted suicide should be legal.

Protectionism: I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a protectionist, but I do think that there should be some limits on free trade.  I think there is a good deal of middle ground between absolutist support for free trade and being an anti-globalism-style protectionist.

Tabacco related illness: Maybe increase the cigarette tax so that it can act as a better deterrent against smoking.  

I'm not sure what the abbreviation UNO stands for, but if you mean the United Nations organization than I would say that there definitely need to be major reforms regarding the UN human rights committee.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Mr. President, it is an honor to receive your endorsement
