[AL4CP] Steady on the rudder while reaching for the brass ring (Day 2230)
Addy Lawrence
THE MANDATE I SEEK
On January 5th, I will be seeking your support for a mandate to govern with a steady hand and to provide war where eCanada has an opportunity to shine.
STATE OF THE CAMPAIGN
Opening Remarks
Yes, I'm running again.
This candidacy is one part lack of interest from fresh faces, one part fantastic opportunity to lead a war, and another part something exciting in this game.
I have a two pronged platform; keep the things that are working in control and steady, and provide a military campaign with staying power that engages and excites the nation. I want to achieve the genius of the "and" by keeping one hand steady on the rudder AND one hand reaching for the brass ring.
On the steady hand holding the rudder...
I commit to an update in my paper every three days.
I commit to proposing a budget to congress before January 15th.
I commit to leaving taxes alone.
I commit to maintaining a rational and objective frame of mind as the surprises of a CP term unfold.
I am experienced in these areas and you can count on me to deliver all of these commitments. Naysayers will point to my fourth CP term as a breakdown in objectivity and I would have to agree, that is why I no longer aspire to the CP chair for consecutive terms; its demanding and you can lose perspective when you role play for that long.
But, all of this is pretty mundane. It's not a sexy platform. If you know me, you know all of this stuff about me already so I really am not getting anyone excited.. In the interests of looking forward and finding excitement, what else do I have to offer?
On the hand reaching for the brass ring...
I will bring war. I will not be a push to NE eUK neither. I would very much like to hit the ground running on January 6th by launching an Air Strike. A concurrent campaign to my CP campaign is an Air Strike Energy Campaign. We learned a lot from the eEstonia Stumble and I'd like to build on that with a more polished strike. I am offering eCanadians TP damage and a chance to showcase eCanada on the world stage. Consider it an audition for eCanada in the military theater.
Fortune favours the bold...
I developed a reputation as a numbers and finance guy, then I developed a reputation as a political builder. I have failed to develop a reputation as a military leader, despite championing the removal of ePoland from North America and championing the first wipe of eUK along with eIreland and eFrance two years ago. I would very much like the opportunity to lead you all in a war campaign that puts medals on your chests and earns the respect of our allies on the international scene.
Obviously, I can't get into a lot of details without alerting opponents, so I am asking you, hat in hand, for a leap of faith. To borrow a phrase from a friend and nemesis, fortune truly does favour the bold and I am bold enough to ask you to take a leap of faith with me.
[POST SCRIPT] TCO willing, I would like to dedicate the military campaign to The Crimson Order so that they can truly go out with a bang. If they think my plan is weak, I wouldn't want to associate the two together.
On my cabinet...
As for my cabinet, I have nobody in place at this point. I will be looking for steady hands as well as military strategists, hopefully from MDP, as well as some fresh faces looking for a development opportunity.
I like small cabinets. It won't be an entourage. The people that are there will be reliable and engaged and committed. They will deliver the goods. I'm taking applications, pm me with your interest.
On chasing the ghost of Jacobi...
I am not going for the highest total of CP medals. Again, this is a candidacy of opportunity, hopefully I get the chance to show you. I anticipate this to be a one term deal.
Denouement...
I will end this with a picture.
Who's your daddy?

Air Strike? The last guy tried that.
Good luck Addy o>
Good luck Addy!
Lack of new faces?
That Red Head chick and IBB not new enough for you?
Within CPF
Are you trying to say there are no new leaders and only followers in the CPF? - Say it aint so.....
lol, no other interest in running in January
What's so wrong with CPF just supporting another candidate?
We would - if we felt they were a good candidate. Sadly, the other parties haven't presented such a candidate.
@IBB
Did you approach Lelouch seeking the CPF's CP nomination?
Of course I have, I currently have a dialogue going on with some CPF Leaders, Lelouch obviously included, discussing potential endorsement.
The red head chick? My work here is done, I now wish to be forever known in eCan as the red head chick \o/
and
"On chasing the ghost of Jacobi...

QUIT TOUCHING MY RUDDER
😃
and then everyone else gave up
Never!
In honor of your running. I'm going to help evict what you started with Netherlands. Am no longer co-operating at all with any CPF candidates tired of there same old failure and bullSh*t.
Spite gets you nowhere. I've tried that and have learned from experience.
I have spoken to you several times about improving the situation, you do not suggest anything. You reject proposals and then rebel in ways like this.
What do you propose Rylde?
Yay! dAddy is running for CP again!!!!
who will fund the air strike this time?
On a seperate, but not unrelated note, did you buy votes for your article Addy?
If so, I am disappointed.
I think you lost the right to be disappointed when your "Temporary Article" aged out of the media.
Still looks like its there to me.
Still, I've been unconscious for too long, and I'd like to get another article out tomorrow morning (morning being when I get up).
I did not buy votes for my article.
If you say so, I just found it rather strange that it jumped upwards of 50 votes in around 2. 5 hours yesterday. Must've been some well timed shouts
I'm confident votes were bought, I just wasn't the one who bought them, i don't know who did.
Ah, don't you just hate meddlers?
What's with the COI border on the first pic? Political pandering?
Possible land swap/rental with the eAmericans in the cards? They need fish 'n deer which can be connected for them on the east or the west coast. Could be a buffer as well.
