Dearest Party members,

I am addressing you today not only as a candidate for Party President, but as a brother. We've spent these last few months engaged in a battle of ideals, fighting against the complacency and ignorance that has crippled this nation for so long. We have made enemies, but we have also formed bonds that I hope will last for years to come. And, today, we have emerged victorious. All of our hard work and hard fights were not in vain, as new generations of party members become influential leaders and prove exactly how our party, our programs and our ideas can benefit this nation.

But this is hardly a time to claim Mission Accomplished. While our party has done some great things, there is still more to do. As a devoted member of this party, and an experienced party leader, I hope to earn your vote for Party President and together we can work toward an even greater future.

My top priority as Party President will be to promote nonpartisanship in all we do. I promise to never view this party as any better or worse than any other group. You have my word that I will always give the opinions of other parties as much, if not more, consideration than that of our own members. In these difficult times, the last thing we need is focused dedication to our small group and a clear message to rally behind. We have a responsibility to blur lines and be involved with absolutely every organization so no one thinks we don't like them. If we aren't constantly expanding our list of passive acquaintances, then we aren't making progress.

With this as my focus, I know we can move forward and show the nation what being a political party is all about.

Herp. Derp.
