Matt from VT for Northeast Assembly Campaign HQ (Special Election Friday)

[Sopranos Republican]

Thanks you so much to all of my supporters! If any of you have questions, I still welcome them of course.

[Penelope]

You seem like a reasonable guy, and even though I already told you this over PM, might as well formally announce my support for your campaign here.

[Sopranos Republican]

We are still alive as of this morning folks! I just want to say that I hope Jerry runs for something at the Federal level soon, because he could definitely help Atlasia. Any questions or comments you have for me?

[Napoleon]

After much thought, I endorse you. This was a really hard decision, but I have ti make it at some point so here ya go.

[Lincoln Republican]

Endorsed for the at large special Senate election.

[Goldwater]

Matt, what your position on the use of force against North Korea?

[tmthforu94]

After serious contemplation, I endorse you in the upcoming Special Senate election. Best of luck!

[Sopranos Republican]

Matt, what your position on the use of force against North Korea?

Listen, I would hate to go to war with North Korea, because it would be a brutal war. I can't even imagine the horrors they would put Atlasian POW's through. However, I think we should very much consider a strike against them. Their leadership truly is composed of a bunch of deranged sociopaths who do not care one ounce about human life. If they threaten us then we cannot be weak, we must show them that we are not afraid to fight them, and that we very much are willing to use military force. If we strike fear into them, then we might be able to avoid war, and hopefully make them start taking steps towards treating the people of their country like actual human beings.

This is the issue here. The North Koreans are not deranged sociopaths. Nor are the Iranians, nor the Syrians, nor most other dictatorial-flavor-of-the-weeks. They are very much concerned with human lives - namely, their own, and aren't these nutty extremists. They have a very strong instinct for self-preservation. Quite simply, they want to stay in power. They'll make blustery threats against us to try to raise their status in negotiations, sure, but they won't attack. That would result in them getting crushed, and thus them losing power.

North Korea has sunk a South Korean destroyer, shelled a South Korean island, attempted to assassinate a South Korean President.... and the Kims remain in power. What are they to assume?

North Korea is different then the rest SJoyce. I don't think they pose much of a threat to Atlasia, but even if they don't I wouldn't put it past them. There are other terrible regimes I would put it past, but I truly believe there is high chance that Kim Jong Un believes his family are gods, that will help him defeat the United States of Atlasia. Just look what they've done to our Allies in South Korea, who they have attacked in the past, and have attempted other atrocities against. I'm not saying South Korea is the same power as us, but if North Korea does gain any more power, then all bets are off, because they certainly have the hatred of us to act on it, and with the help of their "gods" there is a chance they believe they could actually win.

Alright, we are less than 3.5 hours away from the polls opening, so any questions, please ask.

[Talleyrand]

While I don't have a question right now, I just wanted to say that regardless of the results of this special election, you will have a great future in Atlasian politics. It's rare to see someone of your enthusiasm (combined with competence, of course!) in this country. I wish you the best of luck in tomorrow's election and your political career as a whole.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Go, Matt!

I encourage every one to go out and vote for this rising star...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Congrats on your win. Don't disappoint us.

[Sopranos Republican]

Thank you very much to everyone who has voted for me, if you haven't voted yet go vote!

[Lincoln Republican]

(Duke, I refer to your reply #57 of Mar 29/13, which I do not wish to quote here)

VP Duke, as Atlasia's first openly gay Vice President, do you plan on pursuing your radical gay agenda while in office?

[Sopranos Republican]

*bump*

Thank you so much to everyone who supported me! Victory speech to come soon and than it is on to the Senate!

[Napoleon]

Congratulations my friend!

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Congratulations. I'm pleased to be able to work with you.

[Sopranos Republican]

Congratulations. I'm pleased to be able to work with you.

Congratulations, Senator Matt!

Congratulations my friend!

Thanks Senators!!

Friends, we must come to realize that there is nothing that can stop the progress of a nation, when people of all party affiliations, classes, races, come together and decide, we must do this. If Atlasia collectively decides to work together, then amazing accomplishments towards a better nation and better world will happen. We must treat our friends with the same kindness we always have. Nations, who seem to always have our back no matter what. We also must deal with those who oppress people who would otherwise be able to make great contributions to this world, we must boldly stand up for democracy, and not be afraid, for we realize the cause of freedom is one worth fighting for. We cannot rest yet, for we have work to do! As Atlasia's highest legislative body, the Senate must always be willing to work together, because if we do, it will be hard to stop this nation, from accomplishing awesome things!

Thank You,

Senator Matt

Thank you for your question, Winfield.

I have not come out as an openly gay man, which assumes I have a long list of lovers. Fact is, I only show love for a few men in this game. I would like to point out that sthis is nothing new. AndrewCT and I ran on that very platform as partners a few elections ago, and Marokai and I have simply continued that while in office, by sharing a bed, by sharing a bathroom, and by sharing ideas and meals together. I do not see this behavior as radical. In fact, I find it admirable that we are able to do such things. It takes courage, commitment, and strong will.  

So in short, no, I will not be pursuing a radical agenda while in office, as I am not radical, but I will fight to make sure we are all free to love whoever we want to love. Policies like these merely make Atlasia a better place for all men, women and children.

Thank you again for your question. You are truly a man of The People.

Congrats!
