Whig Party Convention (2-7 February): Voting on Party Symbols

[Jerseyrules]

I'm jerseyrules of the IFP and I'd greatly appreciate your endorsement for governor of the Northeast this election.  I'm strongly pro-capitalism, and I'm a strong advocate of civil liberties.  I'm opposed to outright repeal of the NE blue laws, and believe that individual communities should be able to decide their own rules regarding them.  I'm also greatly in favor of a balanced Budget, and keeping spending at or below inflation level.  I'm not a wingnut on abortion, though I believe that the morning after pill is a much preferable alternative to outright abortion, and especially partial-birth.  I would veto any cap-and-trade bill that crosses my desk, and I am adamantly opposed to it, though I am for private incentives for donations to green energy and wildlife preserves as an alternative.  While I'm against state income taxes on top of federal taxation, I believe my compromise bill with a maximum of 10% taxation is better than tax hikes proposed by the Speaker recently, some of which are well over 30%

Anyone sane prefers alternatives to abortion, whether out of conscience or concern for women's health. I'd like to point out that the Northeast already has a balanced budget requirement in the Constitution and all budgets under my administration will comply with that.

But, would you hold spending at or below inflation without raising revenues to accomplish it?

I appreciate a good debate, and while the gentleman from Connecticut may have lost his way on certain issues, I believe he is entitled to his opinions .  Btw, I have nothing against you, Napoleon, and I'm happy to be your opponent this election.

Clarence has announced.his.resignation from the IDS legislature. He ail be missed. It looked like he would have been a great Whig leader.

A great loss to us all...

Not to be pushy, but will there be a "primary" or "convention" for who gets your nomination for NE governor?
