It's pretty evident the party is going to endorse Tmth for President. But what about local senate and Assembly races and such?

[Lambsbread]

If Sven is not chairing, I nominate Wormy to chair.

[Lambsbread]

I'll second that.

[Lambsbread]

okay we have some great talent in our party and some leadership positions to fill. anyone interested?

I am! I'd accept the position of Whip, if nominated in place of NiK.

we elect our party leadership, so we will have a vote, but yes, you will be on the ballot since you expressed interest.

Sweeeeeet

[Lambsbread]

I accept the nomination for party Whip.

[Lambsbread]

I recommend that we select Primus's "Sgt. Baker" as this year's party theme song

if elected to secretary, I will be in charge of keeping party records. we will be listening to Cheap Trick.

Fair enough.

[Lambsbread]

unless there is any objection, I'd like to move ahead tonight with endorsements for presidential and senate candidates so that we have that finished up well before the election.  i do not have a list of regional candidates, but if someone does, we can do endorsements for these as well.

I suggest we endorse Tmth and Dallasfan for President. I'm running for Northeast Senate, so I think it'd be cool for ya'll to endorse me

[Lambsbread]

No, they should endorse me.

Really? They'd endorse you over the candidate in their own party?

[Lambsbread]

No, they should endorse me.

Really? They'd endorse you over the candidate in their own party?

Absolutely.

Don't quite see your logic there.

[Lambsbread]

This is the list I gathered (Please feel free to respond if I missed anyone):

FallenMorgen - NE Assembly
Wormyguy - NE Assembly
Ghost_white - NE Governor
Feeblepizza - ME Assembly
20RP12 - NE Senate/Assembly
Dallasfan65 - VP on Tmth's ticket

[Lambsbread]

I nominate Wormyguy for vice-chair. 

I think there are IDS and NE Regional elections this time, is that correct?

Definitely in the NE, trust me

yeah, that's sorta what i was planning on, around 8pm eastern or so.

[Lambsbread]

Fellow Populares,

With election day fast approaching, we have to send a message. "Why should I, a citizen of Atlasia, vote for the Populares Party?" I'll tell you why. Our Government has failed, unemployment is rising and people are becoming hopeless. We run on a platform of maximum rights, minimum Government. We support liberty and we believe that the people's money is best spent by the people and not a power-hungry Government. We must send a message that will strike a chord in the hearts and minds of Atlasians. We are the Populares, we are Atlasia.

Vote Populares 2011, For a brighter tomorrow, today.

(So, what do ya'll think about my first "speech" as whip? )

[Lambsbread]

who among us has a wiki account? we need some serious updating on bylaws and such.

I do.

I do.

in that case maybe even i have a chance at getting one too  

it'd be good to have a few of us working together on this.

It would. I just recently updated the President forum and I think I edited Isaac's page, but I do have to clean up the NE regional office holders and several other things.
