Texas Representative Council
Ladies, Gentlemen, Other Species and Lifeforms:

I would like to ask for your vote in this TRC election. For many months, I've represented you in the great halls of Texas legislature; for many months, I've defended our great region and the regions of others in our Texas Defense Forces. With your help, I will continue to do so.

Remember: vote Independent Planets for Representative!

I'll be away for the next couple of weeks, so unfortunately I'll be missing most of the elections.

Despite the long hours, stressful duties and low wages, I have enjoyed my time as a member of the Texas Representative Council. I would be honoured if you would elect me for another term - if only to ensure I get a decent pension when I finally retire :p

My fellow Texans,
First off, I want to say how grateful I am that I should even be nominated for the Texas Representative Council, although I am fairly new to this region. That being said, I come humble before you to ask for your vote. I realize I don't have much of a record to run on, but I've got lots of promises.

For example, if you elect me, I promise I will not fall to the Dark Side of the Force, create a clone army, manipulate my way into supreme power and then reorganize Texas into the first Galactic Empire for a safe and secure society. I understand that this region rests on freedom and liberty, and that supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, and not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. And finally, in the words of Kim Possible's twin brothers, "Hicka-bicka-boo?" "Hoo-sha!" Hoo-sha, indeed.
So remember, when the election comes around, vote Ziotica. Thank you.

As a cabinet member for the past several terms, it has been my honor and privilege to also serve on the TRC, and I would enjoy continuing to do so. Please vote for me on election day for TRC.

Thank you.
