Labor Snap Convention Fall 2018 - Chicago, IL

[Sestak]

The Labor Party is getting revived! Months of slumber for Labor have seen tough times in Atlasia and the left. We have recently grown frustrated about the Progressive Union Party for a few reasons. Notably, they have unanimously voted for a number of right-wing bills in Congress, and embarrassingly flopped in the midterms last weekend, losing the house and two Senate seats. Now a small group of dedicated leftists has gathered together to revive the Labor Party to better serve the interests of the left. And as registration this week suggests, it's shaping up to be a success.

Our goal with this convention is to stand with the labor movement. After all, we're the Labor Party, and this convention is being called on Labor Day. Plus, we're in Chicago, where unions are alive and well and have a long history. Isn't that neat?

Just realized I never finalized this vote. Yes, I'm chair, Jimmy is Vice Chair, and Zay is General Secretary.

[Sestak]

Okay, all members have 24 hours to nominate a city for the Jan-Feb convention. The city must be in the Southern region - the 3 cities with the most nominations shall be placed on the final ballot.

[Sestak]

Remember, you can renominate cities previously nominated by others. In fact, only the three cities with the most nominations will make the final ballot.

[Sestak]

Right then. Vote will last 72 hours.
