Would Spamage, Speed of Sound and anyone else who would like to receive our endorsement like to give us brief explanation of why you want to receive the endorsement of the Labor Party and what you will do as a Senator to help promote our values? Your answers could help all of us make a more informed decision on who we should endorse! =)
I would love to, thank you for the chance!
As the founder of the first
Social Democratic Party, I have a long record of promoting social freedom and equality and of working hand-in-hand with the middle and lower classes of Atlasia.
I am a firm believer in doing more than guarding the average Atlasian from attacks against them, but also giving them the opportunities to raise himself up to their own highest potential. I have sponsored Senate bills to
reduce our defense spending to help the national deficit and pay for our social programs,
replace developers' profits with funding for our schools, and
create a National Public Radio to clearly record news for our citizens without the political leanings of private newspapers, and I have argued for
making green energy options more affordable for the middle class while also
making farmers' voices heard in Nyman. I also voted to
reduce the tax burden on the first $7,500 earned and
expand government healthcare systems.
I think I've made my point. I plan to continue to sponsor and support bills which reduce unnecessary tax breaks and defense spending, which push for diplomatic ties and aid for struggling or threatened peoples across the world, which protect productive trades and agriculture, (and I am especially keen on re-introducing a revision which will finally remove tipping as an acceptable alternative to a standard income), and which help get average Atlasians more involved in governing (I am seriously rolling this idea over in my mind, and I hope to have few specific ideas for this soon). I invite you to consider the platform and opinions which are in the process of being published in my
thread, which will later tonight include a more general platform and, notably, list of proposals I wish to make should I reach the Senate.
I know that speaking to an organized party this made be an unusual angle, but I believe that being an independent is an especially important and attractive part of my candidacy for Labor to consider, especially compared to my Liberal opponent. While it is known that I voted for the re-election of the President and have a high opinion of him, I will stand in the Senate without ties to a party line, but instead only ties to the values of equality, opportunity, and social freedom that we all share. Hardline party members find it hard to reach across the aisle to get important legislation passed, but I will work hard to create majorities and get bills onto the President's desk.
Phew! Thank you taking the time to listen to my wordy argument and I sincerely hope that you will consider me for endorsement!
