[Pericles]

I request the Alliance endorsement for my House candidacy. I have a proven record of being bipartisan and working across party lines-whether in the Senate or in Fremont's Parliament, and I will do the same in the House. An example of this is the Let's Try This Act which I co-sponsored with Senator Reactionary to improve our gun laws, as well as working with Senator Lumine and wxtransit(then a Representative) on game reform, such as sponsoring dual office-holding reform legislation and voting for much of the Sulla Plan. I support, and will support, constructive efforts to improve our government, and I will be open with the Atlasian people-to inform my constituents about what I'm doing in the House.
I have been an active office-holder, and have improved recently-in Fremont's Parliament I have a 100% activity record and that's what will be my goal if I am elected to the House. We haven't always seen eye to eye, but I don't think Atlasia deserves an ideologue of any ideology and with me you won't get an ideologue but an active Representative who can work across party lines. I can listen to other views and work together to create the best legislation-and best outcomes-possible. That's what I believe you'd want in the House, and that's what I believe we deserve in the House.

[wxtransit]

Alright, if you've declared for our nomination and have not yet given a speech, now's the time! It'll significantly help your chances of getting nominated if you do.

Additionally, I'll extend the period for declarations for our primary until the end of this speech period (see schedule at top).

The North Carolina Yankee/dfwlibertylover ticket requests a 2nd preference endorsement from the Alliance Party, speech to come!

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Good Afternoon Dallas! We are very sorry North Carolina Yankee could not be here but he is presently negotiating with Walmart to get them on board with helping supply the House with cardboard flavored pizzas! (He is at work right now) Alliance has always been an interesting party to me, it started off as what I saw as a continuation of the old United Alternative Party/Conservative Renewal and has morphed into its own form which pushes for many reforms which Yankee and I both agree with. That is why we are requesting the 2nd preference endorsement from this esteemed party (not the first preference as we recognize that your own party is already running its own ticket which is quite good on its own). Reform is something that North Carolina Yankee has been pushing for since he joined the game and he always recognizes that it helps keep the game afloat, parties such as Alliance help keep the drive for reform going and help keep the game alive. In addition to supporting some of Alliance's proposed reforms and being open to other reforms in the future, this ticket will always have the door open for anyone to discuss ideas for the game that they believe will help improve gameplay and the country as a whole gamewise. Furthermore by helping to elect a truly Independent Vice President, Alliance will be ensuring that partisanship starts to lose its grip on the White House, a point shared by both the Yankee/dfw and the Lumine/Siren tickets! Regardless of whether or not you offer us your 2nd preference endorsement, if elected, we look forward to working with Alliance come July!

 Ninja and I  would like to request your parties second preference for President/VP. Speech to come tonight.

Requesting an Endorsement for my House Candidacy

[Pragmatic Conservative]

Good evening honourable Alliance party member.

Today Ninja and I are running for your second preference for the Presidential race. As we face an increasingly close race second preferences will be vital for determining who becomes the next President of Atlasia. As a ticket we will bring real change to Atlasia by reforming are tax code, introducing practical game reform and making Atlasia more affordable.

As a ticket we believe that personal tax cuts are not overly effective for economic growth and only add   to our deficit. So while we will not be cutting taxes we will not be raising them for the middle class either instead we will slightly increase taxes for the wealthiest Atlasians while lowering small businesses taxes.

As a ticket we believe we need to promote game reform that will revive are game and push  Atlasia forward. We will closely work with cabinet to ensure their doing their job while strengthening their power. We will strengthen the power of the GM to ensure this position is treated more seriously.

As a ticket we will push for policies that will make Atlasia more affordable. We will push for greater construction of affordable housing and introduce a grant of up to $10000 for new homeowners to afford to pay for a down payment for a house. We will also introduce a speculators tax to target those that wish to just own a house for investment purposes.

Thank you for your time and we hope to earn your second preferences.
