Cassius has my full support for Vice-Chair!

This. I also endorse North Carolina Yankee for Chairman.

Just dropping in because there's been some confusion about your party's midterm conventions.

I moved to amend the by-laws to remove these conventions from the schedule some time ago. They were a bitch to run, and oftentimes we still had business going on in the thread for the last convention; it didn't make sense to uproot everything and move it to a new place. We also found that not too much was even going on for the midterms. We'd have, like, two candidates running, and opening up a convention just for that seemed unnecessary. The goal was to make our conventions meaningful and important. Six per year watered down their importance. The party agreed with me and voted to eliminate them.

That being said, the current Federalist Party by-laws are very specific about a ton of dates and other obscure things. The rules had gotten us in trouble in the past, so I wanted to make sure they were clear. The thing is, under my leadership as well as the leadership of subsequent chairmen, we didn't really follow some of the rules.

I know it's not a giant priority for a struggling party, but my advice is to take a look at the by-laws and see where they can be watered down. I'm more than happy to help and give advice whenever needed, but it would be great if you could get to a place where the rules are clear and easy to understand, not laborious to read. The by-laws can be quite challenging at times, even for me. And I wrote them.

Best of luck.

We can definately look at some bylaw changes once the leadership elections are over. My only concern is that we don't forget the location selection for the next Convention. Perhaps we should select the city and then work on the bylaws to be safe in case it takes long.

I'd like to ask the Federalist Party for their endorsement in the upcoming Emperor race in the IDS.

Simfan is endorsed for Pacific Governor.

I'd like to ask the Federalist Party for their endorsement in the upcoming Emperor race in the IDS.

That is next weekend no? If so, we can tack it onto the leadership election.
