Northeast Assembly Thread II

[Lincoln Republican]

I wish to thank  Governor SirNick for the confidence he has shown in me in appointing me to the Northeast Assembly.

As a former Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Representative, and Speaker, I have a history in this esteemed legislative institution, and I have every confidence, that, together, we, as the representatives of the good people of the Northeast, will be moving this great region forward in their service.

I look forward to the debate and the enactment of positive legislation during this term.

Congratulations to all those elected.

(Expressing my views prior to the session opening)

With reference to the Uniform December Election Day Amendment, this amendment makes sense.

Due to the holiday season, December is a month where many people are unavailable and have many other engagements.  

Therefore, special provisions should be made to accommodate these circumstances, such as in this amendment.

The only changes I would make would be for clarification, wherever it states his should be changed to his or her, and wherever it states he should be changed to he or she.

Best wishes to you Earthling in whatever path you choose to follow. 

[Lincoln Republican]

Mr. Lieutenant Governor, could you not re-introduce this amendment for the vote on the amendment for Non-Sitting Days?

I believe it is important that these dates become non-sitting days.

I will certainly vote aye on this amendment should the amendment be re-introduced.

I believe  the other Representatives have simply not yet checked into the Assembly thread, otherwise, I am sure this amendment would receive unanimous support.  

[Lincoln Republican]

I nominate SirNick for Speaker.

[Lincoln Republican]

I would like to nominate Winfield for Speaker.

Thank you very much.  I am honored, however, I respectfully decline the nomination.

[Lincoln Republican]

Aye

[Lincoln Republican]

I would like to take just a moment to bid adieu to my colleagues in the Assembly.  Until quite recently, I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of this body, and I wish all of luck going forward.  I hope that the reasons for my resignation will persuade members to adopt more constructive and conciliatory methods of debate.  See you all around.

Barnes, I am sorry to see you resign from the Assembly under these unfortunate circumstances, and would, at this time, like to personally thank you for your service to the Northeast and to Atlasia.

I would much rather that the Assembly could have worked out differences amicably rather than acrimoniously.

I have to say that I feel as responsible as anyone for this situation, and for that I am sorry.  However, of late, debate, discussion, and statements in the Assembly, from various individuals, myself and others, have been less than admirable.

I am hopeful that we in the Assembly can work out our differences in a mutually acceptable and agreeable way.

In the meanwhile, all the best to you in your future endeavors.  

[Lincoln Republican]

I will be supporting Blair for Speaker when the election for Speaker is held.

[Lincoln Republican]

24 hours has now passed, and since no other names have been nominated I hereby declared that Blair has been elected as Speaker to the Northeast Assembly, and shall assume the position as of now

Does that feel awkward, Representative Blair declares Representative Blair as Speaker Blair? 

[Lincoln Republican]

If nominated, I shall not run.

If elected, I shall not serve.

[Lincoln Republican]

Most of you know me, for better or for worse. 

Governor Pikachu has asked me to serve in the Assembly until the end of this term to fill the vacancy that exists, and I have accepted.

It is a privilege for me to continue my work as a servant of the people of the Northeast.

I look forward to working with each of you.

[Lincoln Republican]

Is anything happening in the Northeast Assembly? 

Since my appointment August 12 to fill in the rest of the term because of a vacancy, I have been checking in every day, more than once a day, and there is nothing going on in the Assembly.

Is it going to be like this until the election? 

If so, why bother even appointing anyone to the Assembly to fill a vacancy?
