A number of amendments to the bylaws:

Section 1:

(1) The President is the official head of the DA and public representative of the Party. He/she presides over conventions and all internal votes. He/she is elected at every convention by party members, and must receive at least 50%+1 of votes cast to be deemed elected.

(i) In the event that no candidate for President receives 50%+1 or more of all votes cast, another round of voting will be held until a President is elected.

(ii) At any time during the vote, one candidate for DA President may assign all votes received to any other candidate for President.

(2) The Deputy Leader represents the DA in relations with other parties and assumes the interim leadership when the chair is unable to fulfill his duties. He/she is elected at every convention by party members, and must receive 50%+1 of votes cast to be deemed elected.

That seems fair.

I'm sure you can vote, just go ahead and vote and if the Hashemite think your vote should count he will say so.

Democratic Alliance,

I seek your endorsement in the Midwest Senate race.  I realize this will be a difficult endorsement to make, as many of you are good friends with MasterJedi and have already endorsed him.  MasterJedi and myself are both highly qualified, talented, and capable individuals.  Really the only thing that seperates us is our ideologies.  MasterJedi is on the right, I am on the left.  The DA is the party of the center.  When the endorsement vote is taken, I would ask each of you to ask yourselves: which side am I closer to?  For those of you who are truly in the center, I think my former membership in the DA ought to at least count for something.  I stand for the official DA party platform entirely.

Thank you,
Fritz

I have to ask why you left our party and now come seeking our endorsement? This is especially prevalent as you say you stand for our platform entirely, while your current party has no expressed platform.

I think I stated my reasons for changing parties fairly clearly in my campaign announcement.  I am a center-leftist, leaning towards the left.  The JCP is a more comfortable fit for me than the DA.  I stayed with the DA as long as I did mainly because I do agree with the party platform.  I left when it became clear that the party would endorse a Presidential ticket that I have no intention of voting for.

I concur with Senator Purple State's question; how do we know you're just not using the DA so you can get elected, and not because you believe in us?

I apologise but I am suffering a period of estrangement from the DA and have been for a few months now. What has 'happened' (and DA members should know what I'm talking about) isn't what I believed we stood for.
