First off, thanks to everyone for your support so far. I am very thankful to Snowguy for giving me the chance to run again for the Vice Presidency. I am very impressed with his zeal to reform and improve our nation, and if our ticket is elected next month, I'll do everything I can to push these goals forward.

I must say, though, that I strongly disagree with the notion that I'm the "token moderate hero candidate"; in fact, I think this is the first time I've ever been called a Moderate Hero Tongue I do consider myself quite progressive (but I'll refrain from making an off-topic tangent about my political views Grin), though I will admit that I tend to be a bit pragmatic when in office. Look at my record as a Senator, for example: I even worked together with DWTL and Libertas when we shared common ground on specific issues, in order to make Atlasia stronger.

Honestly, to be somewhat frank, I really enjoy being Vice President. I think I've done well, so far, and I do hope I'll be allowed another term. Smiley

I was recently asked by Polnut what I'd do to show spending restraint as president.  I can't say there are any specifics. 

I will, however, set a new policy as president.  All non-emergency spending bills In excess of $1bn Will be required to be paid for, or I will veto the legislation.  Exceptions can be made, but the case for such exceptions will have to be made.  Stimulus measures could be one such case, for example.

I just want to add that I wholeheartedly agree with the principle behind this proposal. While Atlasian budgetary issues have never been conducted perfectly, I definitely agree that such an effort to prevent unneccesary deficit spending is in Atlasia's best interest.

I just wanted to thank everyone who voted this weekend; and to thank both of the other tickets who made this such a good race. Congratulations especially to Duke and Cincinattus; I believe this is the first time both main tickets have gotten at least fifty votes.
