We will be extending the sign in time through February 2nd, so please make sure to sign in!


We will also be working on incorporating the caucuses into the convention, so for anyone interested in our current caucuses, see the list below:

Federalist Main Street Partnership
Liberty or Death!
Coolidge Society
Non-Interventionists
The Perot Group


And lastly, those interested in running for office, please be sure to declare!

I propose a merger of the Liberty or Death and the Coolidge Society caucuses. I also support the idea of a merger of the Perot Group and the Non-Interventionists.

Seconded.

I'd be fine with doing this (since no one has been running some of these in a while).

If we do this, would anyone be interested in running the merged Non-Interventionists/Perot Group caucus, since both of those were lacking a Chair?

Another idea is that we could do away with the Non-Interventionists entirely, as the main goals of that caucus could arguably be covered in more than one caucus.

As for The Perot Group and Coolidge Society, I see Leinad's point and can see how MSP could be easily merge with The Perot Group considering it's current leadership structure and basic goals of the caucuses. I also agree that since Liberty or Death! is a more libertarian-based caucus that we could keep Coolidge Society as a more conservative caucus and keep those interests separate.

Certainly open to other suggestions, or if there's anyone interested in taking on one of the caucuses currently without leadership, that could solve the issue of "what do we did with this inactive caucus?"

Given that it appears we will not be looking at an actual primary for any positions, I am considering extending the sign in period and period of declaration and candidate speeches through February 5th (Vice President and President speeches will still be taking place on the 5th). If there are any objections, or in the event that a positions faces a primary, we can revisit this and shift around some of the dates as needed.

Just a friendly reminder, everyone should have received PMs, but there is one day left for signing in and candidate speeches. Vice President PiT and I will also be delivering our speeches tomorrow night.

Also waiting for more feedback on folks on how we want to proceed with the caucuses and how they are structured within the party.

As a friendly reminder since my post last night, sign in, nominations, and candidate declarations ends tonight!

Candidates who have yet to give their speeches must do so tonight as well!

Starting tomorrow, we move on with the rest of the schedule!

Good evening, fellow Federalists!

Wow! It hardly feels like it has been four months already since I've been on stage, speaking to all of you, and asking for your support for me and my friend and Vice President, PiT.

I remember back when I was first considering running, approaching PiT as a potential running mate, and speaking for weeks and even months on the kinds of things we were going to run on, and policies we both can support. I chose PiT because as someone who was going through an ideological shift, he was there to help understand and support such changes. Over the months our friendship began to grow, and we've learned that we have much in common ideologically, and personally. And over these last four months of the blood, sweat, and tears we put into our jobs, where most friendships and working relationships might have easily fallen apart, ours grew stronger. I don't know what I would do without all the he has contributed, not only to our campaigns, but to the message we send to all of Atlasia, to his work in Congress, and as a source of stability in times where the job became more stressful than most could handle.

Which brings me here to you all. What we both have provided together since taking office has been that source of stability that Atlasia needs. And when things seemed to have been falling apart, we spent countless hours rolling up our sleeves and making sure we fix it. We did this by keeping our involvement in the Second Korean War as limited as possible and ending the war quickly. We did this by tackling issues that have long been ignored by previous administrations, such as the Foreign Relations Review and the Budget. We did this by fighting what appeared to be tough battles to ensure that our rights shall not be infringed under any circumstances. We did this by protecting our environment and finding ways to hold ourselves accountable.  We did this by re-establishing the National Security Council, so that we could better coordinate and protect our military and security of our great nation. We did this by protecting our workers and students, and ensuring that all Atlasians, no matter their income or political affiliation, have more opportunities to achieve the Atlasian Dream. But our work here is not finished.

I am here tonight because next weekend, Atlasia will once again choose who leads us. I am proud to be part of the ticket representing the Federalist Party. I am forever grateful of the support that we have received from all of you throughout this journey. And I will be proud once again when we are standing before you all delivering another victory speech! Thank you all for your time for tuning in, have an amazing night, and Dave bless Atlasia!

A bit delayed (my apologies):

I am opening up a 48 hours declaration period for Leadership positions, to offer amendments to the platform and bylaws, and nominations for the city for the next Convention.

The election will of course be this weekend and last for 72 hours. Once this over with we can then focus on the general election campaign.

As for the caucuses, as there has been some interest from folks to lead the caucuses, discussing caucus options with Yankee, and running this in his place while he is away, we will be appointing Mr. Reactionary as Interim Chair of the Coolidge Society, and Leinad as Interim Chair for the Non-Interventionists Caucus.

As for the Perot Group, after discussing with LouisvilleThunder, as he is running both caucuses, there are many similarities between the two, and there are few Perot Group members, he has agreed to the merging with the Main Street Partnership, and holding all activities related to them under the Federalist Main Street Partnership thread.

While it's after the time period we would normally do this, since we have both Lincoln Senate candidates asking for our endorsement, let's go ahead and bring this to a vote.

Because of how close it is to the start of elections, this won't be able to run as long as I'd like.
I'll run this vote for a little over 36 hours, ending at 11PM on Thursday, February 15th.
