It's probably time to elect someone for Senator who actually gets things done in Talossa. As Minister of STUFF, I oversaw TalossaWiki through a difficult but critically essential software upgrade, then repaired the appearance to restore it to its former glory. I built the Talossa.com portal that other governments talked about but never got around to actually doing. As a local businessman, I've also been providing the technological infrastructure for other organizations to host and run their own websites in Talossa free of charge: The Talossan Press Association, The Talossan Gazelle (ETT) and the soon-to-relaunch PengoTimes, to name just a few. Elect me, and I'll ask your opinion about the upcoming bills. I will listen to your concerns. I will represent this province in the Ziu in a way that represents your interests, not just my own. What has the alternative choice done for you lately? |

Ahum, the northenmost province is certainly the best province. However, it isnt Atatürk. You're only the second northenmost province, which isn't really interesting at all.

Are you talking about the barren desolated rock that is Cézembre??? Don't get me started on that province full of losers. (This message was posted as Elder of Ataturk and former Senator and not as Secretary of State). |

Ok, I will Bite Mr Pinatsch... What do you plan to do for Ataturk, the greatest, hum, northest of the 8 provinces? I can promise three things: Accessibility, accountability, and progress. In all the time I've been a citizen, the current senator has never asked us what we think, nor replied to anything we've ever written to him, and he's certainly never reported on his activities. He doesn't believe he should. Look at his last campaign: No, I do not post threads or emails soliciting input during Clark votes. And I have yet to receive any input on business before the Ziu. So far, I have not had any complaints, so I continue to operate under the assumption that I've been adequately representing the people of Atatürk. And I have absolutely no plans for the next term. I intend only on showing up, participating, and enjoying currency. I have no idea what more can be done. As for what I would like to see across Talossa: less drama. But that is more of a personality issue than a legislative one. I'd always like to see more activity in Atatürk. But the Senator is not the focal point of provincial activity. "No plans for the next term." In that, Senator Holmes has been very successful. "No complaints" is certainly no longer the case thus past term. I've been a vocal critic, but, as I said, nothing I've ever written him has been answered. In addition to actually being here, listening to what Ataurkers have to say, responding, and considering wide perspectives I promise to vote on every Clark. Our current Senator has missed votes on 3 of the last 12 Clarks Clark or 33%! As an MC, I have a perfect voting record. I'd like to know what your priorities are for the coming year. Engagement? Tourism? Constitutional reform? |

"No complaints" is an outright lie. I've been a vocal critic, but, as I said, nothing I've ever written him has been answered. I respectfully suggest that you correct your characterisation of S:reu Holmes's statement. It was, as you can see, made on 3 February 2013. As you did not become a citizen until more than a year after that date, it does not seem plausible that S:reu Holmes could have been lying about any vocal criticism from you. |

I do apologize: let me clarify. It is true that I was only an applicant in August 2013; not granted citizenship until the following February. I will leave it to other residents who were never responded to to offer their own accounts.
It is certainly true that Senator Holmes has never written anything back to me, ever.
I understand he is busy and I understand why. What I don't understand is why he would continue to run for an office he doesn't have time to manage.
I debated whether or not I should run, given my own personal and professional life outside Talossa... I concluded that despite it, I have more to give than the province has received over the last term.

People of Ataturk: this election, let's vote for someone who actually gets things done, a representative who wants to be our voice in the Ziu. Let's vote for Pinátsch!

Thanks Glüc. As I also said privately, I appreciate all the advice and support you provided during the campaign. I really couldn't have done it alone.
