President of the Underground (indecision 2007) - Vote now!

[Russell Kanning]

It is time to choose the next President of the New Hampshire Underground.

For a couple of years we had El Presidente and that seemed to be a decent administration.
Currently we are under the William the Pirate interim government.

Do I hear any nominations?
We could vote next week

Current Nominees:

William the Pirate (William the Conqueror) interim President (Pirate)
Hollywood (FSP)
Caleb (Economic Rent Party)
Money Dollars (former President) (NHNative)
Rocketman (various 1 issue parties including Beer, Pot, and Luv)
Rosie (NHN)
Alice (Cat)
PatK (FSP)
Ezme (Cat)
Lords and Ladies of The Shire
Kat (Cat)

the NH Primary is Friday the 13th

If we remember

[Amos Keag]

We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week,...

...but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting...

...by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,...

...but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major--

[Rocketman]

I think Money Dollars would be a good candidate.

[Russell Kanning]

I nominate:

William the Conqueror
Hollywood (he can also act as the prez of the Republic of NH)
the various current officers of "The Shire" (king, archbishop, jester, exchecker etc.)
Caleb Johnson/Franks (the gay mexican outfit looks very presidential)

and agree with:

Money Dollars (or whatever he is called nowadays)


inaccessibility by government bureaucrats is a factor in my mind

[Russell Kanning]

since we have such an arbitrary and unfair way of moderating the forum .... it will be good to have a final authority to be the "decider".

[error]

So you're not choosing a president, but a ruthless dictator?

[Russell Kanning]

we will have a delicate balance of power

I am part of the judicial branch (lifetime appointment from the original president)
Executive (currently William, who is taking a very relaxed approach)
Congress (House of Commoners) (the largest legislative body in the world ... populated by our vast group of constitutional scholars)

[Russell Kanning]

the New Hampshire Underground and the Republic of NH have a president

.... what should "The Shire" have? .... a King?

[Pat K]

I nominate Alice, for Underground Prez.

[Russell Kanning]

let's add Alice and PatK

[Russell Kanning]

remember we have to first go through the primary process with NH voting first

that will occur on Friday 7/13 during our building at Porc Manor

so get in your nominations quick .... please let us know what party the person is a part of

btw .... what parties are there? William is part of the Pirate Party (ala Sweden in the last election) .... is another party full of porcupines? ... and then we have independents ... I might not have it right.

on the day of the nh primary .... you have to choose a party for the day and then can go back to independent

others voters in other states can have their primaries on the next few days according to their own rules.

Don't ever forget the "NH Advantage" ... we vote first in the Underground primaries.

I throw parties, but I never really gave them a name.

[Fluff and Stuff]

Money dollars might be moving to CO, ID, or TX...

[Tom Sawyer]

What is this some kind of F@#$in' coup attempt by the Archbishop...

I have flown the President to his secret secure location until his security forces can quell the rebellion and restore order. The President has officially declared a state of emergency and has declared martial law.
