Office of Constitutional Convention Delegate Winfield

[Lincoln Republican]

Hi

Welcome to my office that I will be using while I am a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention.

To all Northeast citizens, should you wish to discuss any business to do with the Con Con, or should there be any resolutions or proposals you would like to see introduced or incorporated into the new constitution, please feel free to send me a PM or contact me in this office.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And I with you.

I witnessed your speech in the convention defending the voters right to choose directly who represent them in the Senate and I agree with you. Thank you for speaking on this.

Thank you Poirot.

I simply cannot stand silently by and watch the most fundamental expression of democracy, which is the vote for all eligible citizens, be trodden underfoot.

I am hopeful the convention will agree with me.

I think the people of the region's should vote on their Senators, but I also think that is a decision that the region's should make for themselves just like they should be able to choose their own names. The removal of responsibility, the babying of regions, will guarrantee they fail. If the votes are meaningless, participation will suffer, and with it, activity.

[Lincoln Republican]

I would remind the honorable Senator that the votes of eligible voters in Atlasia are never meaningless, and that is all eligible voters in Atlasia.

Save the populist cannard for a minute! I never said they were. This is the impression I get that the voters themselves by an large have from trying to find and fill legislative spots in all five regions and then turning people out for those races, across the past two years, Winfield.

The voters would seem to beg to differ, simply by looking at the turnout and participation in the legislative elections over the past several years. That is what happens when you remove power from the officials they are voting on. There are many who would argue that a vote for regional legislator is meaningless right now and there is a reason for that. It is because the Federal government has usurped so much authority from the regions, that they have precious little that they are responsible for.

[Lincoln Republican]

There is never a good reason to disenfranchise the citizens of Atlasia.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

There is never a good reason to disenfranchise the citizens of Atlasia.

I agree, though I am not sure who is proposing doing that at this present juncture. Depriving a region's voters the right the select their own name is probably the closet to that right now. Glad to see you have changed your mind on that matter.

[Lincoln Republican]

How very disingenuous of you.

You know very well the context,  so I do not understand your back door approach.

Delegate Winfield, how do you defend disenfranchising people on their own region's name while condemning the same with regards to Senators?

Honorable Senator, we have seen what happens when we leave it to the regions to name their own region, ridiculousness run rampant.

Surely it makes more sense to have a sensible name and to maintain that name.

When was the last time, for example, that the state of Missouri changed their name to The Most Serene Principality Of Middle Earth?

I never much cared for Dirty South being of Northern origin, and I was one of only three people (I think Duke and BK were the other two), who voted against changing the name to IDS in 2010. That being said, it is our region's right to make those choices and it is not for a constitution to impose them upon us from on high.

[Lincoln Republican]

It's will only be a matter of time before some region gives themselves some wingnut, crackpot name.

But that's what we get when failing to take action when we had the opportunity.

But alas, such is life.
