politicalmasta73 for Lincoln Assembly

[Bidenworth2020]

my platform-

Campaign Finance Reform                                                                

We need to limit the power of big money donors by making the maximum donation 2,700 dollars. We shouldn't value money over a voters vote. This also means banning all super PACs or forms of political interest group contributions of money

Health Care

We can not trust the insurance companies at all in the health of ones life without heavy regulations by our government. A single payer system is our best option, and you can trust the government to regulate your costs more than a corporation.

Abortion

I believe that abortion should be an option for teenagers, rape victims, and in cases of incest, but not in any other cases I believe it shouldn’t be an option. However, I still do believe PP should be funded.

LGBT Community

Easy. Same rights as anyone else in all cases.

Foreign Policy

I believe we need to focus on issues at home before we get swamped in debt by nation building and fighting other people’s wars.

Local Chamber

I will work with the Governor to shrink the size of the chamber and put stricter rules on inactivity

Taxes

We need to take the tax burden of hard working Atlasians and put it on the top 1%. We need stronger regulations against offshore tax havens and make them pay for the government they abuse

Free Expression

All have the right to stand for what they believe in, but of course of threats of violence and similar exceptions aren’t the case.

Education

We will use the extra taxes from the top 1% to fund free college and create a free lunch program.

Housing
 
I support cheaper, more accessible housing by using a voucher for low income families



Death Penalty

Oppose it overall, although I could support it for a few particularly heinous crimes

Gun Regulation

We need instant background checks to make sure none of the wrong people get their hands on a gun.


help me win for a more prosperous lincoln!

So you're challenging a Senator who has been a stalwart supporter of just about everything you've outlined here...why? Why not run for Assembly? The regional legislature is a great way to get your feet wet and also help quell the inactivity issues that we've had in recent sessions.

i would, but they seem to be more engraved incumbents

[Bidenworth2020]

Two questions, purely for my curiosity.

1. Why are you a Federalist?
2. What are these "districts" of which you speak?

1. I am a federalist in the mold of the moderate wave that is taking over the party

2. I guess adding that to my platform didn't make much sense

3. I wish us both luck this election!

And Scott, who has served in the Class II Senate seat since August of 2016, is not an "engraved incumbent"?

of course he is, but the chamber virtually guarantees re-election currently

[Bidenworth2020]

Always great to see people getting involved; but in regards to your plans the the last thing we need to do is shrink the size of a 3 member Assembly that has already been relatively lethargic

of course we can adjust the rules to accomodate people as we go, but in general a small, active chamber is better then a large, inactive chamber. Thank's for sharing your concern!

  I will not let corporations tilt our sacred election process to one side or another. We need to establish a system of limited donations from corporations as they are not people and do not deserve to be recognized like the people

So since the Washington Post is a corporation, and an op/ed in their national newspaper endorsing the Dems is of value, you support limiting the length of time the Washington Post can post such an op/ed on their website, yes?

Because otherwise im not sure what you mean, since non-PAC corporate entities arent even allowed to donate $1 to candidates.

are you saying money=free speech? by that standard, bribery should be legalized if money=free speech. I know he have differing opinions, but thank you for the questioN!

No, he was pointing out a flaw in your platform. You argue that corporate donations to candidates should be limited, despite the fact that it is illegal for corporations to donate money to candidates anyway.

oh lol. I apologize. I guess I will remake this part of my platform

[Bidenworth2020]

bump.

[Bidenworth2020]

bump, again

[Bidenworth2020]

I am declaring my candidacy for the special election Lok announced

[Bidenworth2020]

I have reached out to governor Lok to discuss negotiating rules for the assembly in order to have an assembly that more progressively works for the people. Hopefully, he is willing to listen.

[Bidenworth2020]

We have kicked off the start of the special election. Make sure you get out and vote for one of the two great candidates!

Update on my message to Lok-

He has responded. I suggested a 3 strike system, and rewards to people who are active.

[Bidenworth2020]

glad to see more votes have come in!

I currently hold a lead of 7-4-1!

thank you for our current progress!

[Bidenworth2020]

Go out and vote for Politicalmasta! Lincoln needs an alternative to these old career politicians. Politicalmasta will work to make Lincoln better for the people.

thank you sir! we need an alternative to the status quo!

[Bidenworth2020]

not gonna lie, the outlook for this race is grim. FEDERALISTS, PLEASE VOTE!

[Bidenworth2020]

sadly, I must concede this race at this time, as Clyde's lead appears to be insurmountable. I appreciate all that voted for me and hope Clyde can make a difference in the assembly!

[Bidenworth2020]

well, I have given it some thought, and I am running for this election!

[Bidenworth2020]

One_j has announced his bid for this assembly seat. It disturbs me quite a bit though that he is still running for the Senate. C'mon man, put your money where your mouth is!

In other words, you just want to run unopposed because you feel entitled to being elected.

in no way do I feel entitled. I am a federalist, which will make it impossible for me to be entitled to any seat in Lincoln. I respect you R2D2, but this assumption is absurd and insulting. Let's not make this ugly, man.

I’ve made the argument about Blair before, at the moment, One_J has too many fingers in the Atlasia Politics pie. He should withdraw from one race.

I appreciate the concern, but I just felt that since there was no law against running in multiple races simultaneously (plus it has been done before) and due to the lack of engagement in the game that it would be nice to do something different for a change. I'll likely reconsider to revert back to running for one race later this morning because I didn't realize that both elections were held on the same day and it would be best to avoid delays.

Thank you for trying to respect the natural order a bit more. I encourage someone else to run for this seat, assuming if you decide to run the senate campaign, of course. Happy Thanksgiving to all in Lincoln.

[Bidenworth2020]

SamTilden has officially announced his campaign for this seat. I welcome the competition but hope I can be your voice in the assembly, not loyal to any party. To those in Labour who are wary of supporting me, I'll make you one promise. I will always respond to PM's concerning issues I will vote on, and hell, maybe I do exactly that. Don't vote by party, vote by candidate.
