Labor Party June Convention -- NOW UPDATING THE PLATFORM!

[Lief 🗽]

WELCOME, COMRADES!



Welcome, Comrades and Workers of Atlasia, to beautiful Ely, Minnesota, site of the June 2015 Labor Party Convention!

Comrades, friends, workers of Atlasia, I am deeply honored to welcome you all to Ely, Minnesota this month for what will surely be a historic convention. Over the past four months we have made significant strides forward in lifting the Atlasian worker, under our beloved President Bore. Our Party has grown to new heights, with many new members joining, winning election, and carrying forward the (dark) red banner of the Atlasian worker. This month we join together, in solidarity and unity, to officially adopt a platform of further change and progress and to officially endorse true champions of the Atlasian working class and the Atlasian People for elective office.

Please feel free to sign in below and make your voice publicly heard. I hereby call the the June 2015 Convention of the Labor Party of Atlasia -- the only party that has truly steadfastly stood up for the worker, that has truly stood up for the rights of the marginalized both at home and abroad, that has truly stood against oppressive forces in our society, that has truly stood up for our environment, and that has and continues to truly work for a future of solidarity, equality and justice -- to order!

I'm sure the Chairman will forgive me for opening up the debate, but every good convention has a song to go along with it. Here are some my favourites

I nominate London, Ontario.

[Adam Griffin]

I second Harper City, WV.


Please remember, everyone, that while everyone is free to nominate their own city, the by-laws state that only the top three nominations will be placed on the ballot (in the past, we have broken ties by going in chronological order; whichever ones in a tie obtained the final vote for them first are selected). This means that usually, more popular convention locations are seconded by others as a way to ensure the more popular nominations obtain ballot status.
