[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I am running for Vice Chair.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Greetings my fellow Federalists at this wonderful convention at Atlanta, GA in the South. I am running for Vice-Chair because I believe in not surrendering when things get tough and despair takes over rational stable thought. I'll say it like it is. We have been utterly thrashed in the previous few elections. This is a result of complacency among our party. The elections last weekend have really been a wake up call to action that led to many of us in the party to take a real good reality check of the situation. It made us realize that either we make the changes we need or we risk losing everything that's good in the game.

Now, I believe we are just beginning to head back on the right track as we have a superb House slate lined up for December, and we have a good team of leadership including those also running for Vice-Chair. Ultimately, Vice-Chair is merely a title. We can't get back what was ours in the game as whole unless we all pitch in and do each of our parts to allow us to win again. I know lfromnj, ReaganClinton, and Fairbol all have great things to bring to the table, and we will continue working for this glorious cause. Under my leadership alongside the legend, NC Yankee, we will rebuild an Atlasian right we all can be proud of. We need to embrace our diversity of talents and personalities so that we can move forward in a way that benefits us all. Anyone who is willing to contribute in good faith to our cause should be welcomed with open arms. Recruiting must be a priority alongside actually integrating and getting those who register with our Party to get engaged and have a real stake in our party winning and growing further.

I have always been about supporting a proper balance in all situations since that's how you build and maintain a solid movement that can last rather than let it be an ephemeral cult. I believe in being fair and just to those who are willing to take on the challenge of running for and serving in offices, especially new people. However, respect must be earned as much as it's given, and that is the social contract of mutual success in the game. I have seen plenty of crazy and unnecessary drama unfold over the past two years that I've been in the game and a Federalist. This contributed to my perspective on handling party affairs and leadership.

Thank you all very much for reading this. Whether or not you vote for me for Vice-Chair, I hope we all unite and work to take back the power in the game we love and cherish.

just saying from an outside perspective, it would be dumb of the Feds not to vote for Lfromnj. He's practically the only one on the right who gives a sh!t.

Are you implying that I don't give a sh!t?

You've been decently active but Lfromnj has been doing all the recruiting for the Feds.

Recruiting isn't the whole job of Vice Chair. We have the appointed position of Outreach Coordinator for instance. Being Vice Chair means being a face of the party itself and being someone able to run things both behind and in front of the scenes. Having a vision also matters as well as being able to integrate new members into the party so we can avoid mistakes of the past.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I would like to congratulate lfromnj on winning the VC race as well as all of the people who came out to vote and give a sh!t about what's going on in our party. I'll still be here doing what I think is best so that we can win again and make the Feds great again!

Here are the results of the city vote. It looks like our next convention will be in Toledo, OH, Lincoln.
