Former White House of Purple State/Marokai Blue

[Bacon King]

Does this mean Bluey is president?

With the specific use of the phrase "leave of absence," it would seem MB is Acting President, yes.

I love this kind of "end of the world".

I imagine the RPP are currently having multiple heart attacks.

The Major Legislation Clarification Bill and the Make Internet Sales Fair Act are both on the President's desk.

I'm back after some much needed R&R. Leave of absence terminated.

The equality in healthcare act is now on your desk.

BK, can you post a clean version of this bill so that I know I'm signing the right thing?

With Franzl's and BK's amendments, I can fully support the current version of the Hiring Incentives Act and I look forward to signing it into law. This is especially important in light of recent news by the GM, who is reporting a likely rise in unemployment.

I also plan to work with my SoIA and GM and with the Senate to improve relations between workers and management in the private and public sector.

Safe Scallops and Clean Clams Act is on your desk.

Many thanks to VP Blue for proposing this bill in its initial state and much appreciate to the Senate for its willingness to work overtime to produce this a quality piece of legislation. Congratulations.

Announcement

Due to the difficulty in finding a new Attorney General with both the willingness and qualifications to enact many of the duties set forth by recent legislation, I will personally be overseeing the Wiki reform process while the search continues.

EDIT: I've done the first four Senates and the last few. Look over those pages and let me know if you would prefer I keep it as is (i.e. by Senate by month) or if I should do away completely with the Senates and only do by months.

[Marokai Backbeat]

That's change I can believe in.

August Elections Announcement

In the coming days I will announce endorsements for various candidates for both the federal and regional elections. I invite all candidates for any position to PM me with endorsement requests (this is recommended, though not necessarily mandatory).

If you are considering a run for Senate, remember the deadline for candidacy declarations is 12:00am EST on August 18.

Good luck to everyone!

Diplomacy

With a heavy heart I extend condolences to the family of those Atlasians killed in the attacks on our embassy in Pakistan. Their lives were dedicated to improving relations in the region and the attack was a blatant attack on the ideals and values which they each embodied.

In light of recent events in Pakistan, the Secretary of External Affairs will be flying to Pakistan tomorrow for discussions with President Zardari.

I will also instruct SoEA Benconstine to immediately direct $50 million, in addition to the $150 million in aid already already appropriated for to Pakistan, for relief efforts from the flooding. Despite the violence perpetrated by a few extremists, the vast majority of the people affected by the flood are innocent and deserve our help.

The Atlasian Navy will be dispatched to the region for the delivery of supplies and aid to the region, as well as to coordinate and conduct rescue operations.

[Purple State]

Announcement

I ask that a Senator please present the following piece of legislation on my behalf:

What this will do is ensure that the GM does not need to report on every natural disaster (i.e. flooding in Pakistan, Gulf oil spill) for us to know that it occurred, which has hitherto been an ambiguous area. This will give the GM more time to focus on Atlasia-centric stories or to develop those real world stories in uniquely Atlsian ways. It will also allow the executive and legislative branches and regional governments to react to events quickly and as they occur.

Presidential Endorsements

With the start of elections right around the corner, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight those candidates that I believe have shown the courage and conviction to deserve election or re-election.

Without further ado, I hereby endorse the following candidates:

Bacon King, reelection to the Senate. BK has been one of the most active participants in the Senate for over two years now. Even during his two terms as Vice President, he regularly ran the Senate's operations. It is hard to find anyone as committed to the success of the Senate as BK and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him for the second half of my term.

A-Bob, election to the Senate. A-Bob has been an active and extremely productive voice in the Mideast Assembly even before his election to the body in March. He has come to play a similar role in the Mideast as BK does on the federal level: ensuring that all the trains are entering and leaving the station on time. A-Bob's efforts, especially on the Mideast budget, have made the Mideast Assembly more productive and better organized and I hope to see that brought to the Senate.

That is all for now, but is subject to change as I consider additional requests.

Below is my intended ballot for Senate:

[7]AndrewCT (POP - NE)
[1]Bacon King (JCP - SE)
[3]Badger (JCP - ME)
[4]Libertas (POP - NE)
[6]Kalwejt (JCP - WY)
[2]A-Bob (RPP - VA)
[5]Duke (RPP - SC)

~PS

[Purple State]

Announcement

In light of recent unemployment figures posted by the GM, I request that the Senate immediately begin consideration of a second economic stimulus package that focuses primarily on maintaining current jobs. This will ensure that much needed skills remain in the economy and are also much easier to identify and support, giving us the biggest bang for our buck.

I also hope the GM and SoIA will provide details on where employment figures are weakest and what steps can and should be taken to lower the unemployment rate.

While I understand that the current rate reflects a shift in how we calculate unemployment, taking into account the oftentimes chaotic nature of this game over the years, I hope that the relative stability and productivity of my administration will help bring those numbers down quickly.

~PS

[AndrewTX]

With the high rate of unemployment at this current time, I hope to be able to help out in anyway possible. As we all already know, high unemployment does not help to stimulate the economy and market, which is obviously dangerous for Atlasia, but hits very hard in the Northeast Region. Having large cities like Boston, NYC, Philly, and others can really make our region go into a downward spin, which also will effect the other regions.

 We need to do something about this, and hope to bring the unemployment rate to a more acceptable figure.
