Campaign Headquarters - Fairfax, VA
Are you tired of the two establishment left parties dominating Atlasia? Vote for change and reform in this weekend's Southern Senate election!
If you have any questions on policies, I will gladly answer, but I
generally agree with the Lib Dem platform laid out here:
Platform
1.) Economy - We at the Atlas Liberal Democrats believe the economy works best when we're at our best. We believe in a mixed market approach to the economy, by this we mean that businesses should not have to worry about major government interference but at the same time there needs to be regulations that will protect workers and guarantee rights for all workers.
2.) Taxes - we at the Atlas Liberal Democrats believe that those who are struggling should not be burdened with taxes, those who make $10,000 or less should pay 0%, we also believe that those who make $250,000+ need to pay their fair share and be taxed at 55%. The added revenue we expect will go to funding low income schools and hospitals.
3.) LGBT+ rights - we at the Atlas Liberal Democrats believe the LGBT+ community to be an integral part of the country and we will work to keep the effort to protect these rights and expand on them. We will oppose any effort to repeal marriage rights or to rollback any LGBT+ rights we in Atlasia worked so hard for. However, we also believe religious organizations should have the freedom to deny or give marriage rights to anyone in their community and we will oppose any state effort to attack the religious community for this.
4.) Education - We need better schools, we are all aware education is important for our future and as such, we believe more state funding is needed to ensure our students have the right supplies they need and the technology. Schools that do not meet the basic standards will have more invested and if this does not help them improve we will offer vouchers for students and parents who wish to transfer to a better school. STEM programs are the future and we believe those should be invested in.
5.) Foreign policy - We are a non-interventionist party who believes we do not need to be involved in conflicts that do not involve us, there are nations who hate us for this simple reason and we must not further this anger. We will seek allies where there is opportunity and thus would be open to meeting with any world leader who wants to establish dialogue and relations with us. We do not see the need to have any troops on foreign soil and if the Liberal Democrats are in power we promise no Atlasian troops on foreign soil.
6.) Term Limits - we believe the populace and government works best when the government is held accountable to its people. We oppose endless elections and and believe that all offices bar governor and president should be limited to 4 terms at most and we will be fighting hard for this in all regions and offices. President and Governors will be limited to 2 terms.
Platform update Pt. 2!
1.) Environment - We at the Liberal Democrats believe the environment is a vital importance to Atlasia, we believe that the environment needs even greater protections to ensure our children and their children have a clean and safe planet to play and live on.
2.) Guns - We believe gun ownership is a fundamental right, however, we believe checks should be placed so that people who shouldn't own guns don't own them, we believe mandatory background checks are necessary to own a weapon, and unless you have a hunters permit, no one should be allowed to own military grade weapons.
3.) Criminal Justice Reform - We believe that non-violent, victimless crimes should not be subject to long sentences. We believe that possession of marijuana is not a crime and those who are caught with any other drug such as Crack, etc., should be sent to rehab instead of prison, the Liberal Democrats believe that regions have the right to dictate sentencing policy in regard to more serious crimes such as murder or manslaughter, but as a party we are against the Death Penalty.
4.) Immigration - we believe that immigration is an overall good force for our nation, however we are opposed to limitless immigration, we believe those who do not have the skills necessary should not be allowed entry into our nation if they can't contribute to the economy, however that does not mean we are anti-immigrant.
5.) Abortion - We are a pro-choice party but believe each region has the right to determine its legality, we understand that abortion is a very emotionally taxing on a woman and it's a very intimate moment between her, her SO and her doctor. We believe resources should be set up to make sure abortion is a LAST OPTION for women, such as adoption counseling, etc.
