That shouldn't be too difficult.

Although now I have to write a app up for John McCain, whom I know nothing about bar his name and party. Ah well. To the wiki!

ANDDDDD, SOMEONE JUST TOOK IT!

Guess I'll take VP then.

@Lunas Legion

You could be Vice President (Sarah Palin) instead if you like.

Beware of the executive positions though, there's always a chance someone else in your own party might be after it.

[Lykens]

I went to sleep early because nothing exciting was happening. Really bad choice.

Guess I'll just have to ensure I continue to hold said position then.

Background: Alijah Haider was born in rural Nebraska to a Conservative Evangelical Christian Family, as the second of 6 Children. His dad, Matthias Haider, an Accountant immigrated from Austria to escape the Nazi invasion, quickly learned English, converted to Evangelicalism before marrying an American woman in 1943. His mother, Julia Haider was a Nebraska native and a homemaker. When Alijah was 3, his family moved to North Carolina following Matthias' job reassignment. There, Alijah attended school, where he did very well in English and Social Studies, while doing average in other classes. After graduating High School, Alijah attended Duke University as an Economics Major and later attended law school. There, he formed his political beliefs and made a few comments on blacks that can be interpreted as racist when attacking Affirmative Action during an out of class discussion about the aforementioned law. After graduating from Law School in the top 30% of his class, Haider found a job at a mid-end law firm. There, he met his future wife, Abigail Haider, who was also working as a lawyer. Haider had 4 children with her. In 1983, Alijah decided to leave his law firm to pursue his passion of gunsmithing. As a GOA and NRA member, Alijah was a gun enthusiast and constantly took his family out to shooting. He owned dozens of firearms and made a few dozen more. Alijah created a local gunsmithing business, which made Hunting and Competition Rifles. Alijah's business would soon grow from a family managed business to a state wide corporation. In 1995, at the age of 49, Alijah left his gunsmithing business to his children, who would continue to manage the gunsmithing business up until today. Alijah became more and more interested in running for office after leaving his business, so in 2002, he ran for Senate as a Conservative Democrat and surprisingly won the seat. Alijah would later be more influenced by Libertarians from the Cato and Von Mises institute and support legalizing medical marijuana, while leaving gay marriage and recreational marijuana to the states. This would lead Alijah to join the Constitution Party in 2006. Alijah would be then re-elected as a Constitution Party Senator, the first of its kind.

[Waztaskio]

I think I'll make a post later, fully detailing the tasks of my SHIELD Division. Just so their is no confusion.

[Lykens]

Waztaskio, I thought Buj said we would debate bills in our parties before submitting them to the house floor?

[Waztaskio]

I would recommend that, but I don't know where that is posted to really back it up. You're supposed to talk it out in your party, then put it on the floor for everyone. To be honest, it probably wouldn't matter either way, as not everyone will support it regardless.

Alrighty.

And also, slightly confused, and you're a co-op now so I can bug you about it >:P, I thought Hannover had submitted his app with the speaker of the house position on it?

[Valentir]

Bachmann/Barton 2016!

[Britanno]

Are there party threads or should we keep it through TG?

[Valentir]

I think we should keep it TG. I don't want those filthy Liberals to know what the Tea Party has in store for them! Oh, I also forgot, I'm the Leader of the Tea Party!

[Waztaskio]

I actually made a meeting thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=305634

*Facepalm*. No one put the Speaker as Reserved, so it was open to whoever could finish their app first.

[Britanno]

Respect for Marriage Act anyone?

I think my first bill might make some enemies in the GOP.

Hannover posted it a bit after seven thirty last night. His reservation expired a bit earlier, but no one posted an app before he did.

If the reservation expired, then I must allow the next person who finishes a app for it to take it. I can probably talk to Buj as I believe he was handling that app, but he didn't put it in the roaster as reserved so we'll see.

[Britanno]

I think I'll do a mixture of the meeting thread and TG when looking for support.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

So much to read, such little effort.

Anything I should be filled in on?

[Valentir]

NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! DO YOU WANT GOD TO KILL US ALL AND PUNISH THE UNITED STATES EVEN FURTHER? MICHELE BACHMANN WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS! I WILL USE ALL OF MY INFLUENCE TO CRUSH YOUR CAREER IF YOU DARE TRY TO GET THAT SATANIC ACT PASSED!

[Waztaskio]

So much to read, such little effort.

Anything I should be filled in on?

No one knows what the first bill should be.

[Britanno]

Would a subtle tag in the senate be acceptable?

That is what I did. Just say hello and ask what is going on.

You do realise you're majority leader of the Senate, and not the House?

No, not really.

Yes...
I never posted in the House Thread.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

I see a marriage act ey?

Nah, DOMA will be going down in the courts soon enough, just need to fire up the gays, but that is gonna happen after the Giffords incident, too soon after that is never a good thing. Press won't talk about anything but that.
