Inequality Matters

As President I'd want to lead the discussion on how we tackle the most important issue for Atlasia, and all those around the world; Inequality. We have not done enough in our first term since the ConCon to tackle the big issues that Atlasia faces. We need a President who will stand up, and say that vast inequalities- around healthcare, around education, around zipcode, around race and around economic wealth. During my whole time in Atlasia I've always fought to tackle these fundamental policies. That's why today I'm outlying the 20 policies and initiatives that I would pass as President to break down these inequalities.

Even in right to work states irl, retail and service workers have to that right. I would think they do here too.

Looking forward to policies like these being implemented in Atlasia. It was a hard decision, but this tipped the scales.

Senator Blair, do you have any specific plans for criminal justice reform?

Thanks for the question. I'd want to take a number of steps to fix the criminal justice system. Back in 2015 I authored a bipartisan bill in the Senate that truly was a Herculean task (I think it went into 17 pages) but we got a massive reform undertaken which included...
+expansion of police cameras,
+civilian oversight boards, which included police unions
+ Support for historically prosecuted groups in the community
+ Increased funding for Police forces; along with protective equipment.

This is very much the model that I'd want to take as President; I'd want to do what I've always done- work across the isle.

Onto the actual policy aspect I'd want to heavily review the role of private prisons; even though they make up a small number of prisons there's a serious case for reform to be made. There's numerous cases of abuse reported from private prisons. I'd want to work with the Regional Governors to address this issue and phase private prisons out of use in both the regional and federal level.

Likewise I'd want to fund social programs for prisoners; working with the private sector to provide quality education and training for all prisoners. The speech by the Finnish prision office who said 'one day I want to be able to live next to you' is certainly a case for inspiration- we shouldn't write off our prisoners.

I'd want to reach out to Police Unions to work together for real reform- police officers are on the front-line, and are greatly valued by all those in Atlasia. However we need to work together as nation to end police brutality, racial profiling (as practiced by Joe Arpaio) and ensure that police officers have quality training, and support.

Mr. Senator, I am asking this to both you and Fmr. Sen. Yankee: Would you support/overturn the veto on the Ukrainian Freedom Bill by President Leinad?

[Blair]

Mr. Senator, I am asking this to both you and Fmr. Sen. Yankee: Would you support/overturn the veto on the Ukrainian Freedom Bill by President Leinad?

Yes.

I'm deeply concerned about the veto of the Ukrainian bill which passed with Bi-Partisan support in both houses. By blocking much needed aid to Ukraine we're not only giving Russian backed forces in the region a boost but we're sending a message to the people of Eastern Europe that Atlasia doesn't care about their plight, about their enduring struggle for Liberty and their concerns about Russian Expansion.

The idea that we're 'meddling' by supporting the democratically elected government of Ukraine whilst unmarked Russian troops break international law, shoot down passenger planes and cast a specter of darkness over eastern Europe

[Blair]

Statement on Santander

'I'm sure many Atlasians were disgusted by the comments made by Santander last night, who claimed that if you say 'seasons greetings' you're a terrorist sympathizer. That's a quote from someone who's running for Congress. Let that sink in guys, let that sink it.

It's not an isolated incident; Santander even questioned if being a racist is a bad trait, he then praised Ian Smith, and declared the founder of the KKK was 'misunderstood' and finished off by saying Asian Immigrants are a threat to our cultural integrity.

Is this honestly the friendlier Atlasia we've been promised? Are the federalists going to raise their banner at the House elections, and expect their voters to elect Santander to the house? I hope that Yankee sends out a clear message to his federalist supporters that antisemitic dog-whistles have no home in the federalist party.
