It is with great pleasure that I announce the return of the above portrait of TR. With effective assistance from the people and scouring the country, we have found it, we have found what we were looking for. We have found the People!
In finding it we have gotten in touch with the people and from the Campaign to the Congress, as you People's Representative, I hope to do everything in my power to represent that People who elected me. To fight for their interests, their causes and their desires. We will pass healthcare, we will fix our infrastructure, we will have tough, but simple regulations on Wall Street and we will turn the House around.
On that that last note. I am pleased to announce that the People rose up this election in demand for a change, a change not only of ideas but in leadership. With the utmost respect for Speaker Clark and Speaker NeverAgain, It is with great pride that I announce today that I am running to be the People's Speaker of the People's House of Representatives and I will restore the chamber fully to the People.
As the People's Speaker I will do following:
1. Appoint a Deputy Speaker on day one who is both active and will ensure that things keep moving forward, even if the Speaker is sick or busy in RL
2. I will maintain a public, fully functional Noticeboard with all bills linked, activity listed and dates and times listed both for the members to use as their dashboard and for the Press and Public to hold their People's Representatives accountable*.
3. No amendments will be missed, no amendment votes forgotten or ignored.
4. I will hold regular Townhalls/Question Time Periods for all of the People to ask all of their members questions. These will be held during set periods over the course of 48 or 72 hours. I encourage the Press to take part in these as well.
5. Each day that a vote starts or a bill is brought up, will result in a PM to all the members.
6. Along with Vice President Goldwater and PPT Leinad (Who I hope the Senate reelects to the PPTship) are going to form an IRC channel dedicated to making sure there is complete coordination from the leadership. We will sign all bills that pass our chambers certifying their passage, and they will be passed along to Goldwater who will verify that they have passed both chambers, sign it as President of Congress and pass it along to President Dfwlibertylover.
* When we had this in the old Senate, people could more easily calculate vote charts to see who missed votes, what members were offering amendments and so on. I hope that the newspapers will do so again.
As your Speaker, as the People's Speaker, I pledge to make the House as transparent, as accountable, as open, as flexible and as effective as possible.
