Announcing my Candidacy and Asking for your Input

Day 483, 19:00 • Published in USA USA

• by HeadmistressTalia

I'm taking this time to announce that I am running for a third term representing the great state of Montana. I hope to keep standing up for what is right and letting you know what I've done.

A lot has happened in the past month - new taxes, a war, and a LOT of political strife. But I don't think all the infighting is bad - it gives us a chance to looks at an issue from ALL sides, and hopefully make a more informed decision. Better some fighting than groupthink, I believe.

But if I'm going to represent you, I need to know what your thoughts are - what should congress pursue during the next month? What do you think needs fixing?

As always, I welcome all of your input - you've changed my mind more than once!

Vote for Talia! A true voice of the people! She is one of the good ones in Congress!

I'm NOT a congressman, but I follow the debates closely. What I love about you, Talia, is that unlike many of your "peers", you actually reach out to your supporters AND detractors and ask for feedback. It will be a shame if you're not re-elected.

As for what *I* would like to see next term:

1) More Government Transparency (Conversation, Voting Thread Declassification, Spending, etc.).
2) Less Government Meddling in private industry (stop nationalizing industries - draw the line at Hospitals, DSs, & Weapons).
3) A Unbiased Review of the Result of the PANEC Tax "trial". (Get the number crunchers to give us an unbiased look at the data.)
4) A Published BUDGET of how tax revenue will be used. (Seriously - there's no reason why we can't have a PLAN for how the money will be spent.)

Thanks AGAIN for asking, Talia. Best of luck in the election!!

@Bastion:
1) You are SO right - LAST MONTH we approved declassifying all the info about the theft of our treasury - but has any of it been release? I really have secret sessions except when we're talking war plans. And even then - once we've declared what secret needs to be kept? mostly secrecy hides the fact that we divided.

2) Again, you're right. I don't like nationalizing companies although I will admit I supported the weapons companies as being the best solution. Maybe I was wrong, but I don't have enough data to make that decision.

3) April 4. Mark that on your calendar. That's when we start the PANEC review.

4) YES! We sorta have one already, but we've been pissing money at Ft Knox and I have no idea where it goes from there.
