Henneth Annun: Campaign for the people (Sen 11/06)

[Henneth annun]

Welcome I am Henneth Annun, longtime resident of 10000 Islands. I have been a cartographer, TITO member and AoN member/writer of a charter. I've been around the block and have paid my dues here at 10KI and I believe it is time for a senator who is in touch with every nation.

The AoN is the best idea for a future, people-minded 10000 Islands. It includes everyone who wishes to apply and is become more and more apart of the government each day. By running for the Senate, I am not leaving the AoN nessisarily. The highest place on the seat of the AoN is the Secretary-General, who must be a senator. If I am elected, I will try to win the Secretary-General's seat and make the Assembly a large part of 10000 Islands life.

Immigration is a large component of 10000 Islands, as with every region. While our immigration efforts of all those in the Dept. (incl;uding myself) have been great, but we simply cannot reach our former numbers of 700 by normal, conventional means. So I will propose several ideas within the Assembly so that everyone may see them being discussed but I will only put a fraction of my ideas forth here.

Make Regional Service a requirement as an AoN member

To be involved in the AoN is to be involved in the entire government of 10000 Islands and as such, members should be required to serve in one of our departments. This will increase our output of getting to new nations faster and become a larger power once again.

Renew our talks to Nasicouria about an Alliance

Now I was around when 10000 Islands were allied with Texas and the Urbanites and I understand how those failures as interregional alliances did not work out but those alliances date back a very long time (2003) and to shut all other regions out, especially Nasicouria would be wrong. I have been a member of Nasicouria after I left 10000 Islands for a brief time and they are masters at interegional politics. They are some of the sharpest regions as a whole that I know. To be honest, regions that are closely connected to other regions show dedicated older players what great places they are. So some dedicated older players may become residents. The advantages to ally with Nasicouria far outweighs the disadvantages.

University and Tacos

We have already put forth a prosposal regarding the Univerity and I will put out a proposal regarding our Financial system as well.

A new revised Map system

I will devise a new map for the nations of 10000 Islands and anyone, for a fee ;D, may buy a plot of land. You may customize your particular piece of land by speaking with the 10000 Islands Cartography company, of which I will be a member of soon. If you vote for me, I'll be sure to get everyone I can on that map.


And I'm fun to have around! So please questions, Endorements, comments, hate mail, bring it on!

Hey there Henneth...glad to see that you're running for Senate. IF you don't beat the incumbant, will AoN be at risk of not having a representative Secretary-General in Co9? Should another member of AoN run for the other Senate seat, just in case? Or should Co9 create a clause that protects a AoN Secretary General seat in Co9 irregardless of Senate election outcomes?

[Henneth annun]

Well, I believe that no matter what, we will elect someone as the Secretary General of the AoN, as a senator if one is willing. But unfortunatly if a senator is elected that is somewhat disinterested in the welfare of the AoN and its operation, we could risk having the AoN fall by the wayside. That cannot happen. I will, if elected make the AoN stronger and more important to 10000 Islands. I believe everyone should have a political voice.

[Skwerrel]

Just to clarify a point, there are several senators that are interested in the AoN and fought for its creation. So whether Henneth Annun is elected (good luck ) or not, there will be a senator that will step up and take the position.

[Henneth annun]

Of course. I'm not saying that a senator wont do so, but since the AoN is somewhat my creation, I will be the most interested in its welfare.

[Girlsandboys]

atleast as I interpreted the AoN charter, the AoN Sec-Gen MUST be a senator..true or false?

[Skwerrel]

Yes, the resolution that created the AoN states that the Sec-Gen must be a senator. But, once becoming a member of the Co9, you are no longer a member of the AoN. There is no intrinsic need for a current member of the AoN to become a senator in order to become the Sec-Gen.

I too care about the welfare of the AoN. It has always been my position, one that I ran on, to create a similar body. A similar idea of mine was shot down when I became a senator and I fully supported the creation of the body when this proposal was brought before the Co9.

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

Great to see your platform Henneth. Nice to find that enthusiasm in nations running for election again. Perhaps later in the campaign you will elaborate on some of your ideas. I am particularly intrigued about the financial side of things. (of course).

Considering both RRCFTP and ATT fell down at various potholes along the way to economic emancipation for the private sector, what would you suggest as a different way of doing things?

[Girlsandboys]

are you a member of a 10000island political party?

[Henneth annun]

SFI: Buisnesses need concrete results. I like tohe defense contracts and with my new Cartography compant, we could breathe new life into the financial centers.

GnB: I am a member of the United Progressive Party. I am a recent joiner but I have been in several, now defunct political parties.

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

psst... we're all in the same party

[Skwerrel]

Just want to say good luck as voting begins.

[plasticcup]

where do I vote?
Wheres the ballot box?

[Estayland]

It should have started today.

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

Yep. perhaps unregistered nations cannot see the booth. Good luck to Henneth.

[Henneth annun]

Yes Good luck Skwerrel!

To all nations, please do not hesistate to PM me with questions about voting or 10000 Islands in general! I wll be happy to answer them. Please vote for me in these senate elections.
