Well, this is disappointing - Why?
Based on your speeches, in which you do not mention my name, it doesn't seem to be an issue with me...
I certainly have nothing against you personally, Mr. Representative, but I'm disappointed with the way you've managed your campaign recently. Your near total absence from the campaign trail and your decision to endorse what is essentially an anti-democratic troll ticket for the presidency has led me to question whether this is the right time for you to join the Senate.
Because I feel like i owe you, Truman, and you, the Atlasian people an explanation/apology, here goes nothing:
Why I haven't been on the campaign trail:
-I was not challenged for this seat
-I have duties in the House
-I've been busy in life recently
I understand that it's still inexcusable, but I've been an active citizen in Atlasia in the public sphere and in the government since I declared my candidacy, and apparently that speaks less than I thought it did
The Xahar gambit:
You know why I play Atlasia? Because I think it should be fun. I know Xahar will never be elected, and he's, at best, a spoiler. But BaconKing and Xahar promise to inject fun into the game. I talked over this all with Sen. Blair, and he was, surprisingly, cool with it. You will note that Blair received my second preference, and I will say that I did that with a smile on my face. I fully support Blair and hope that he becomes the next president.
I only issue this apology because I truly want to serve my people in the Atlasian Senate.
Thank you. Any questions?
