MinnaCaroline for New Republica South 5/11

Thank you Eist, these are two very thought provoking questions. I founded TIP because at the time there were no active political parties. I wanted to start something that would get newer islanders feeling welcomed, I didn’t mean for it to get as large as it did, I really founded it on the hopes that others would follow suit and we could have a bunch of political parties to choose from. When Klington founded TOP I was extremely supportive and more recently when Val founded TDP I was very enthusiastic about it to him, to the point that he asked me if I wanted to join! Unfortunately, I had to decline. I think it is fantastic to see so many new political parties coming into light Mayor Shelter Political Party has taken off quite nicely in fact has members running in this election! Religious and Spiritual Theocratic Party is slowly recruiting members, hopefully soon they will be a full-fledged party.

I think we should have a well rounded political party atmosphere where if a new Islander is surfing the boards they will find something for them there and if not they will feel free to create their own. I love the competition and I think having more political parties generates bigger elections with more people running.

I don’t think me being the founder of TIP would be in anyway a conflict of interest for this particular job.





Support is key for helping less experienced newer islanders run for office. When someone comes to me with an idea I tell them to run with it. I think we’re all about supporting each other here in the islands and making each other feel welcome like we’ve come home. I always encourage others to run for office, I think it’s a great way to get folks together to hear ideas and come up with plans. Does that answer your question?

Wait from my experience I know when I first joined the islands I was very shy and quiet, I really kept to myself. HNV and Sinn were my first friends. Sinn ran UPP and HNV was just really funny, they both made me feel really welcome and Sinn was the one who came to me personally to ask me to run for office that first time around, its people like that who make the islands what they are today and I’m happy to say that I see those same kind of people here 5 years later striving to make a difference.

Support is key.

That’s a very good question Eist. It makes me happy that you think so highly of me but I’m just another regular islander like everyone else. I would hope that the islanders would vote for the islander they think would suit the job the best, and not because of my name. I don’t have any awards and I don’t flaunt my past jobs, I hope that if islanders are going to vote for me they will vote for me because of what I say here and now not because of my past. I threw in my experience of 5 years because yesterday marks my 5th anniversary in the islands.

I am running for this particular position because it appeals to me, I love the political party board and I think by running it I will be facilitating newer members of XKI to become integral members of our community by encouraging them to join a party when they join the islands.

The one thing I'd like to achieve Cerb is this:

If I am elected I'd like the islanders to be able to look back and say

"That Meanie MinnaCaroline... she was one heck of a political boards moderator, she was awesome!"

And World Peace.

Well thank you Ketab!! You're very sweet.

You could not possibly make a better decision in this election if you vote for Minna. It was my pleasure to serve beside Minna for quite some time in the Council of Nine and I am incredibly pleased to see her returning to office. She is experienced, loyal, dutiful, and ever-faithful to the region. I wholeheartedly give my endorsement to MinnaCaroline for this office.

I'm Enigmatic, former senator and minister of immigration and four year(or so) veteran of the Council of Nine, and I approve this message.

We are not so different, you and I.

That hurt a lot.

I know, and I am glad. This race is already going to be a great fight to the finish.

Wow! Thank you so much for your support Enig and Tak and Tsim! I can't tell you how much that means to me honestly. Thank you. Its an honor to run with with all my fellow islanders I really think its a great thing to run for office regardless of the outcome, its a lot of fun and you really get to know each other. Its fantastic!! Thank you again! Now on to the hard stuff... LUAC.

To what purpose? Is it going to help new islanders like it was before? I would have to know more about this before I could vote on it.

Someone would need to collect these taxes or islanders would have to promise to send money to Taco Islander Charities on a regular basis which then makes it a donation not a tax. I don't see how this can be implemented properly without Grub's approval. Because ultimately he'd be the one collecting.

Who will run it? Regulated by the Co9 is a very general statement and in my experience if you want to implement something then you have be the one to do it or it doesn't get done.

Again who will run it?

I wasn't aware that corporations were in the business of making donations to campaigns, why is this a problem?

Have you talked to Shelter about running the Taco Island Charities? Have you talked to Wordy about the potential jobs? And the last one, I just don't see 2 million tacos going anywhere anytime soon.

I should think you should expect to win, you're awesome and amazing and a wonderful islander. I think the opposite, I'm giving you a run for your money. I just happened to declare first. Its an honor to run with you and against you Wala... they don't call me the kayakered queens for nothing!! Good luck to you Wala!

If someone ever spends two million tacos on advertising for a campaign, I will make damn sure not to vote for that person.

A very good point Enig...

then the corporation would be held responcible.

Also, to my knowledge, the richest Islander is Grub with around 4 Million Tacos and no-one else comes CLOSE
