The Federalist Party of Atlasia

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I want to endorse all of them, and probably Mr. X, too.  If I'd known we'd be voting on a song I would've voted for the Battle Hymn.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

I am happy to announce that I've appointed Oldiesfreak1854 as Interim Party Secretary to help me and PiT lead our party in the December elections to get our Senators elected...I thank him for stepping up

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Thank you, Clarence.

I'm assuming that you mean the Union version of "Battle Cry".  

And have we voted on color yet?

I'm also considering forming a caucus within the party.  Anybody interested?

[TJ in Oregon]

Guys we have 4 people running from our own party. I think we can't really endorse anyone else at this point.

You're correct, TJ- I've discussed this with the candidates tonight and I will be making an announcement to the party tomorrow about the way forward

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Best of luck. Atlasia would be quite boring without a powerful right.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Party Members-

With the agreements of the candidates, recognizing the difficulty of having too many nominees- we will be having a party primary. The candidates have agreed to endorse Hagrid for reelection and he will carry our official party endorsement. There will be two days before we hold a 24-hour vote on the other one of our candidates to endorse, after which we will hold an endorsement vote for non-party candidates

I ask Spamage, Goldwater, and JCL to make their case to the party via speeches, messages, you name it...

[Spamage]

People of the Federalist Party,
   With the primary forthcoming I shall be giving this speech in order to convince you I am one of the candidates this party needs.
   
   The Federalist Party is today faced with a huge choice. We must hold a primary to downsize the number of candidates we have in order to win seats in the General Senate Election. I'll be honest, there are some very good candidates this party has to offer. But this is why I think you should choose me in the primary.
   
   Ever since I joined Atlasia and was elected Governor I've been active and activity is something both our party and our nation really could benefit from. I've served the people of the Pacific my best and I hope to someday do the same with all Atlasians as an At-Large Senator. If elected I will hold myself accountable to be active for all my constituents regardless of whether they voted for me or not. I realize many of you may not know me too well but I truly hope to change that. In the last 6 months or so I've met many new users, no two the same, and I'd be honored to be introduced to you.
   
   My record speaks for itself. When I was elected Governor in August I made it my goal to serve the citizens of the Pacific through regional government reform. Although my Pacific Elected Legislature Amendment never came to fruition a similar one did so just a few months later. Since the Pacific Council was opened (see here: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=164786.0 ) Activity has gone up 100% if not more. I realize the area I serve isn't conservative in the least but I'd like to use that to also mention that I am able to work with others. Parties today need to build bridges, not tear them down, as the sense of unity and bipartisanship will not only better our government but it will benefit our constituents as well. I will hold firm on my beliefs but I believe there is always room to work together.
   
   As governor I've also learned about regional management. Since my introduction the Pacific has gained 10 members and, if you look at population growth since August, is currently second place for fastest growing. If you elect me my goals will be much larger. Atlasia has always benefited from an increase in activity and whether it was newbies or returning players I will welcome all. I believe, based on both my activity as well as tenure as governor, ultimately I would be an asset for this primary in the upcoming Senatorial Election.
   
   A recent Senate poll had me 2nd of the members of the party running for this primary. Although this is early and JCL has since joined the race I believe it will represent good chances for me being elected to the Senate. I understand I may not be eye to eye with this party on every issue but I assure you, I'm in this party for a reason and that reason is that I think it best fits my political views.
   
   I believe that with your support we can become an effective team with regional and national governments becoming cohesive. Each region is very unique, I understand this and will protect their rights. What works for one may not necessarily work for the others and I'll examine that when I'm analyzing bills and amendments to vote on if I am elected. Together we'll make this nation a better place. No one man can change our future, but a group of committed ones can and that's why I ask for your vote.

        Throughout the next few weeks feel free to PM me or post in my campaign thread asking questions on my policies, plans, ideas, and convictions. I hope to be an open Senator and the people's involvement is the primary core of that position.

   Overall I hope you decide to vote for me because I will be an active, listening, and open Senator. I've gained experience from my tenure as regional governor and that helps me both remember to be open to bipartisan solutions as well as understand regional right's and each ones relationship with the Federal Government. I've always tried to make this nation a better place and I believe if I'm elected to the Senate it will not only be me helping to improve our future but all of you. Thanks for reading and I hope I'm able to have your support in the upcoming primary.
                                     Gov. Spamage

Thank you for that excellent speech, Spamage- I invite Goldwater and JCL to give their speeches in the next 24 hours before the primary beings

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Are we only voting for one Senate candidate in the primary?

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Yes- between Spamage, Goldwater, and JCL

[Goldwater]

Fellow Federalist Party members,
   First of all, I would like to start by saying that this is a good group of candidates and I would happily vote for any one of them. Unfortunately, however, only one of us can represent this great Parry in the upcoming senate election. So I'm going to take this time to tell you why I should be that person.

   Although I'm still fairly new to the Atlasian political scene, I think my few months serving as an Assemblyman in the Northeast have proven by willingness to work with others & my ability to be an active Senator. I also believe I have proven that I am a loyal member of the party who won't abandon my principles,

  If I am elected Senator I will fight for individual freedom, regional rights, free enterprise, & fiscal responsibility. I believe that my ideology & goals are in line with those of the Federalist Party, and I think that if you would give me the chance I could accomplish these goals in the Senate through debate & bipartisanship.

  So, in conclusion, I think that we need a candidate who can work across party lines in order to maintain a responsible Government that protects it's citizens & their freedoms, and I would like to humbly request that you let me be that candidate.

Pardon the interruption, Gentleman, but I request an Endorsement for the Governorship of the PRP.

What's the last P stand for?

Federalist Party members and fellow Atlasians

In recent weeks the Atlasian center-right has been in a wilderness. A wilderness that has caused the quality of our fine game to suffer needlessly. My concerns over the previous party reconfiquring were proven correct. Conservatism as a whole suffered as needlessly as the game itself. Thus out of those ashes The Federalist Party rose. A party that could potentially be a true child of the RPP.

We have great candidates running for the at-large. Goldwater and Spamage are fine Atlasians who would make great senators. Yet with this being our first national race as a party we should start with a monumentous bang. Who would be better suited to do that than someone who stands their ground on an important social issue even when the tide among Atlasians is massively against him. Yet when someone come to seek their advice on potential legislation designed to set a system to help in the reform and potential restoration of criminals though still being adequatly tough on crime they to jump at the chance. Who stood with victims of abuse when they sponsored a bill to get traffickers and abusers of kids off the streets? Who has been a near tireless advocate of not only conservative principals but also defending the rights of the regions against the growing government in Nyman? That has been my stance and thus why i should recieve this opprotunity.If I stand as a candidate for this party, I will be as active as my real life permits. I will fight on the principals I always have. That of limited government, religious freedom, multipartisan education reform, tax reform, debt reduction and elimination and the reduction of abortion with the goal of ending it.

To those who may not agree with me on many of the issues,
That's ok. On that is where the beauty of Atlasia lies. Our freedom to have these debates to determine the future of our nation. I want that debate to be robust and healthy. Also that debate should be one that is respectful and civil. We all saw what happened when it failed to be so. We have issues that need addressed swiftly and in a way that the people can see that even though we don't agree we can work together for a better Atlasia.


Thank you and may God Bless and keep you
May His face shine upon you and give you peace

I hate to interrupt the primary, but with Ben Kenobi's secession actions, I think he needs to be thrown out of the party, as his actions are blatantly unconstitutional.

[Wisconsin+17]

I have no desire to break apart what we just worked to put together. After consultation with party officials both in the region, outside the region and my own constituents, I have decided to shut this down.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

This is a tough decision, but what puts me over the edge for Spamage is the gracious way he handled the October At-Large Senate Special Election.
