Office of Razze, 68th vice president of Atlasia

[fhtagn]

I hope we have earned another term in the majority from the voters!

So the House can continue getting very little done? This is the least active Congress, and the Labor/Peace ticket seems to think that's completely fine when it isn't. 

You've served in several congresses at this point, how many bills have you written or problems you took the lead on solving to show for it?

Congratulations on your victory!

Congratulations! I trust this next Congress and the renewed majority will bring Atlasia forward!

The War is Over!

Three cheers for peace!

At long last, the North Korean Civil War is over. Our conflict with China is at an end, and East Asia can finally get back its stability. Xi Jinping has announced that Atlasian prisoners of war will be returned home, and the blockade of their country is ending. Thank you to President Weatherboy and Secretary Lumine for their efforts in bringing about this peace agreement! A year ago (exactly one year, actually), our country fumbled into a war, and now we have finally gotten out of it.

On top of this, our country is strengthening our alliances with other countries like Japan, and helping to protect peace in the region. The Senate should be passing these new treaties soon:


It's important that Atlasia provides humanitarian assistance to the communities that need and want it from us. Now that we already appear to be in February presidential campaign season (the new Congress hasn't even sworn in yet!), I can't wait to see what each presidential candidate believes should be Atlasia's follow-up to these last few months of war.

Thank you,
Representative Razze

Statement on Frivolous Legislation

Good afternoon, my fellow Atlasians,

Just today I proposed an amendment to fulfill two important duties to my constituents: sticking to what I said and lifting up my community. As a proud, card-carrying member of the Peace Party, I pledge to endorse free hugs for every Atlasian citizen. This new amendment will enshrine this value into law!

Secondly, I have proposed that Atlasia have its own National Palm Tree. The royal palm (Roystonea regia) is an iconic tropical plant, dominating the skylines of South Florida. They represent the pride and strength of our South Florida community, and just like them I'm standing tall in the name of our values!

I can't really remember what was the original bill I amended though, but I'm sure it wasn't that important

Thank you,

Happy Valentine's Day!
Election Weekend Approacheth

Happy Valentine's, Atlasia!

Election weekend begins tomorrow and goes through Sunday. I thought I should take some time to address what I've been up to since you all last re-elected me in December.

As you can see at the bottom of this noticeboard posted by our esteemed Speaker Jimmy, we have passed ten pieces of legislation through the House. There are even more bills on the House floor as I write this. I'm especially proud that we passed the Parental Leave Act, which protects the rights of parents to care for their families without risking their job security, as well as the Criminal Justice Reform and Sentencing Act, which abolishes unpaid prison labor and solitary confinement. I was also very proud to lead the charge against the ridiculous and anti-Atlasian proposal to ban birthright citizenship in this country. You can see the post directly above this one if you want to dig deeper!

A special shout-out goes to my former colleague (now Senator), Devout Centrist (L–Ariz). He has proposed wonderful legislation (including both the bills I previously mentioned) and his level of activity should be a comfort for everyone in Atlasia.

Moreover, I been the vice chair of the Peace Party for about half a year now, and our little club is doing quite well as of late! Our party's endorsed candidates have won numerous elections over the last two months, including my friends Frémont MP Galaxie (Pax–Hawaii) and Frémont First Minister Scott (Pax-Wyo), who was elected in an unprecedented landslide. Not to mention the fact that our party chair (who is already the first Peace Party Vice President in history) might just become the first Peace Party President in history!

I would also like to mention the fact that it's now been over a year since I've been a part of Atlasia! I first entered office as Southern Delegate on January 30, 2018, and since then I've made some good friends and done some fun stuff. Here's to another great year!

At last, I hope you will choose to keep me in office for another term as Representative! The voting booth opens tonight at midnight and will be open until midnight on Sunday night.

Thank you,
Representative Razze

Strongly and emphatically endorsed!

Thank you everyone! It's an honor to have such support.

For everyone else who hasn't voted: Here is the link to vote in the federal election.

I hope that you'll vote not just for me, but also my colleagues in the House plus the others who are trying to join us. I would encourage votes for the candidates of the Labor Party, since that party have (with the support of the Peace Party!) achieved some important accomplishments in the last four months. You can see what I'm talking about in the posts above, as well as my post from before the December midterms where I covered the two months before that.

Thank you!

Vote Spiral for Governor
Paint the South purple!

Good afternoon, my fellow Southerners!

As vice chair of the Peace Party, it's up to me to do my best to get out the vote for my party's candidate in the Southern Governor election: Spiral of Missouri.

BACKGROUND: Spiral has served in Atlasian politics for a few years now. He served as our region's Senator in the past, performed admirably in the Feb. 2018 presidential election, and even served as the final governor of the Southeast region before Atlasian Reset in 2016! (link to Spiral's wiki page)

PLEDGES: Spiral has promised to be a unifying governor, and prioritize transparency. (link to Spiral's campaign thread) Transparency in Atlasian politics has been a problem as of late, especially given the recent rise of Discord as a tool for communication. Spiral, who is not active on Discord, will be a public servant for everyone in the South.

RECORD: While he served in the Senate, Spiral sponsored the Atlasian Workers’ Restoration Act, which repealed the infamous Taft-Hartley Act of 1947. (link to the bill's debate thread) Spiral’s bill was passed and resulted in more rights for unionized Atlasian workers.

I hope everyone will consider voting for Spiral this weekend!

Speaker Razze?!

Well, who woulda thought I'd end up on top of the congressional dogpile?

In case you don't religiously watch the Atlas Fantasy Government board (you should), I have been graced with the honor of serving as Speaker of the House! Thank you to my colleagues who selected me. I was very sorry to see Speaker Ninja resign so soon in his term, but I know he's serving our country to the best of his ability in the Dept. of Internal Affairs.

Just to be clear, if I am so lucky as to be re-elected to the House in the upcoming midterm elections, I will not be running for a full, two-month term as Speaker in May when the new Congress is seated. It's nearly finals season in real life, so it would be irresponsible to let my responsibility in Atlasia suffer because of other commitments.

I am going to re-appoint acting Speaker Tea Party Hater to his role as Deputy Speaker in the interest of maintaining continuity. I'm sure the two of us will manage the House quite effectively, not falling prey to partisan nonsense, but acting on behalf of the people who ultimately gave us our jobs: the voters of Atlasia.

Thank you,
Representative Razze
Dean and Speaker of the House
