State of Docklands
Congressional Speech
10-07-2017
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Citizens,

On this 10th day of October 2017, I hereby announce my candidacy for a seat in the Docklands House of Representatives. With this I announce that this isn't a campaign just for my personal agenda, rather this is a campaign for the voice of the citizen. Many of us know through prior experience that Docklands has been for far too long a state that was run by favoritism, faulty concepts and policies, and ways of conducting operations that were far too undeveloped and ineffective. However, with the appointing of the newly-elected governor Jakido came a whiff of immediate change. With overdue reforms and a total cleanout of government, Docklands has already begun starting to see change many other States, including our largest neighbors Firestone and Rockport, are too afraid to do; effectivity. I, ItsJonnn, encourage you to read this speech and support me in becoming one of the people in a group of congressmen and woman to help advance Docklands. But lets start from the top.

For those of you who don't know me, many of you who I presume won't, I'm ItsJonnn. Previous usernames have been JonathanTheMuffin and WarriorOfTheMuffin (none of you would be able to recall me from anything further back.) Most of my political career here on ROBLOX has been through the State of Rockport. From there I've gained experience in all three of the branches of government. I've learned the skill of enforcing the laws through the Judicial system, I've learned the skill of creating and passing law through the Legislative system, and I've learned the skill of following and enforcing law through the Executive system. Aside from Rockport, I've also spent time in the Legislative branch in Firestone when it first began. In the State of Docklands I've served as both a former House of Representatives member (back when NCISDC was either the Governor or LT.Governor) and as a Court Justice member a few terms back. Undoubtfully, the ways and laws of Docklands has changed drastically since these times, but I am prepared and eager to learn these new laws of Docklands should I gain a seat in the House.

One of the things any reasonable voter would be thinking about now is "why should I vote for you?" That's an excellent question, citizen, and that's something you should always be asking yourself when considering anyone for any position. Now, why YOU should vote for me is going to boil down to what I can bring to the table. Unlike many other congressional candidates, I'm sure you've already started seeing these pop-up, I'm not here to fill you with generic promises that I know I can't fulfill. Things like "ill listen to the citizens" and "ill attend every session!" If we're being honest, anyone who says they'll attend EVERYONE session should be immediately disqualified for obvious lies. Unless you sit on your computer 24/7 and have the most simplistic and boring life ever then there's no possible way you could attend every session. You could get sick, a family emergency arises, or school work could start to pile up. Whatever the case is I can assure you that anyone who makes a promise like that is just desperately trying to get for you to vote for them. This campaign, on top of the numbers of other campaigns I've run, is dedicated to the concept of practicality and efficiency rather than the concept of realism or how we appear to other RO-nations. We know who we are, don't we? We're Docklands. We don't need the approval of some other RO-nation or a pat on the back from them. This area of interest, amongst other things, is where our politicians seem to struggle the most. Additionally, it seems as if too many of them are afraid to fight. Not only to fight for their own legislation and beliefs but to fight for you citizens on the congressional floor. I do, however, promise to do my best. To make the best legislation for the future of this state. To pass and fight for the best legislation, and to try the best to shoot down the bills that do the opposite. To try and not only bring your voices to the congressional floor but to make them a reality. Any congressmen can say "hey the citizens want this we should do it" but very few of them actually go through with it. I, on the other hand, try my hardest to make things happen, and I'm not afraid of anyone or anything in the process.

When it comes to terms of my bill proposals and plans for Docklands I can't say much. Not that I'm running unprepared or unaware of what I'm getting myself into. Upon being elected a seat into the House and during this election period I will be reviewing the laws of Docklands. Seeing what could be changed, improved upon, or completely reworked and reprocessed. Admittedly I am a new face to Docklands. I haven't been here since early April and haven't paid much attention to Docklands. However, I don't believe that should impact your decision making on whether to give me your vote or not. Contrary to popular belief new faces in government are actually quite a good thing. Not only does it allow for someone to begin a new career in a new state, but it allows the state to have a fresh set of eyes. New mindsets come new ideas, new improvements, and new advancements. While re-electing your favorite candidate for every election seems to be the best idea, and depending on the politican it could be a good idea, it's not always the best idea. If you keep re-electing the same people into office every term then you're basically re-electing the pass. You elect the same methods, the same ways of thinking, and the same problems that persisted in the previous term. People like I who are new to Docklands might see a problem that no one else hasn't, or might come up with an idea no one hasn't. But in the end its ultimately up to you, the citizen, on who gets elected into what.

To conclude this speech I'd like to leave you with a thought. You, the citizen, a citizen of Docklands, are creating Dockland's future. Not the government, not the politicians, not anyone else. You, the voter, can alter Dockland's futures in way no one can comprehend. By voting for someone, or not voting for someone, you could've postivily or negativly impacted the future. Don't make this decision spur-of-the-moment, and don't just vote for your friend. Vote for someone who can make change and has been known to make change. Vote for someone who's shown dedication to their work and passion for their position. Vote for someone who's able to not only defend their own beliefes and their own bills, but someone who isn't afraid to defend the citizen. Vote for someone who's willing to risk their position and their government standing to protect the rights and the well-being of his citizens. Vote for a citizen who wants improvement, not a politician who wants the power to achieve personal agenda. Vote for me and we can make it happen.

Signed,
ItsJonnn

JustSomeWierdPerson,

I had rejoined the State of Rockport hoping that I would be able to begin another career in the state. Although I believe the current Governor is doing the best I can, it's hard to overlook the numbers of problems that still loom around there. With the departments still highly ineffectual and problematic, Congress not keeping the interest of the citizens in mind, the ignorance of our "law enforcement agency" (TRC), and with Mariodragon102 as owner Rockport wont last much longer. There are too many issues that no one is brave enough to address and Mario is too ego-filled to realize he's doing more harm than good. So, that's why I've came here. Although Jakido has offered me a position in the Supreme Court, which is where I'll be if I don't win this election, I'd like to be apart of the team of people who are working together with Jakido to finally fix this state and bring it out of the depths of pathetic its been in since it's creation.

Thank you to everyone who's supported me so far. It means a lot knowing that I've grabbed the attention of at least a few Docklands citizens. :)

Q. "Not only does it allow for someone to begin a new career in a new state, but it allows the state to have a fresh set of eyes. New mindsets come new ideas, new improvements, and new advancements."

Reading this makes me think of a few things. But, I have a question about your specified words here, "advancements, and improvements"; how do you plan on "improving" the state if we do not have a government at this time, and how do you seek the "advancement" of the state by you taking office?

These are just two clarifying questions, rather than hate. I loved your speech, and would love to see you in the Docklands State Legislature.

Sp_encer,

Firstly, thank you for the support. I'm honored to have someone such as yourself supporting me in this congressional race.

Excellent questions! As I had stated in my speech, I do not currently have any pre-made bills or plans to improve anything as of now. I will be reviewing all laws, constitutional articles, and anything else in regards to law today and see if there is anything that could use any type of improvement. While there isn't a government as of now that gives all of us a perfect opportunity to start pinpointing current issues or finding possible problems and fix them now. As for advancements, I said that in a general term. I'm not focusing on one particular thing such as departments or law enforcement, rather I'm focusing on trying to advance the state as a whole on all levels. The government, technological, methodologies, ways of operations, etc. Admittedly, I used both of those terms in a meaning that's too broad and unclear. I'm sure there were better ways of making that statement that's more clear and defined.

Anyways, I hope I was able to answer your question. If not I apologize. I'm not always the best explainer or elaborator. Again, thanks for your support. Honored to have you with me. <3

Jason,

Actually, this isn't my first time writing a speech. It sounds like my first time, not going to lie, but I'm experimenting new ways to write my speeches. I've been using the 5 paragraph method that I took from NCISDC. Never hurts to try and mix it up once in awhile! :)
