The Great Region of Texas officially issues Congratulations to <span class="red bold">each</span> and <span class="red bold">every</span> nation that was elected, that ran, that voted, that viewed these proceedings! These were some great elections as usual! We had a couple of really close races, most notably, Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State with Pharaoh Richard & Independent Planets being the primary contenders fighting it out for both. When the dust settled, each has a Cabinet position. Teh Goddess of Texas faced some serious trouble from that devious No Confidence fellow, but she remains our Goddess and <span style="font-size:smaller;color:fuchsia">Ruler of The World</span>. The TRC was a close one as well with some seriously close contests. Cheers to the new TRC representatives, it was a hard-fought race. The Vice President of Texas sees Chief Bottle Washer Jmac of Greenspoint reprising his role after CHB recently vacated the position. And in a surprise move, Bears dropped out of the race for Counterculture leading to a walkover for long-term Cabinet candidate CHW who defeated No Confidence. In the other races, all the incumbents safely defeated their challenger or No Confidence. Even the President defeated them, resoundingly!<br/><br/>Everyone needs to congratulate Sweet Furry Kittens on retaining her position! For an entire quarter, lightening has been rippling across the surface of her eyes. She could definitely handle some kowtowing, benevolence, huggles and probably chocolate (or maybe even tequila). The TDF will remain on standing guard at The Goddess Shack, at a safe distance, to protect Texans.<br/><br/>Please join us in commending all of Texas for their participation in this quarter's Election! This quarter, we had less speeches than usual, but that is Ok. Texans are still very much alive and are a dynamic bunch after all these years! Kudos!<br/><br/>Again, we had an Election without any questionable "moments" in the races this quarter, but that is a good thing. It was a nice clean race.<br/><br/>There were an unprecedented thirteen Texas Constitutional actions up for a vote this quarter! The New Article, Texas Nation Anthem, failed, but Maryginia seem undeterred and we expect to see that one up for a vote again in the future, possibly with a new song. There were three Repeals fo existing legislation that were all defeated. That is a tribute to the Constitution reflecting Texans' values. No Article has ever been repealed in the Texas Constitution. Of the nine Amendments to the Texas Constitution, 3 resulted in ties, 1 failed and 5 passed. Legal scholars will have to make a determination on what happens in the result of a tie (looks toward the Three-headed Monster in the corner).<br/><br/><span class="red bold">Big cheers</span> to all the new and returning Texas Representative Council members and new and returning Cabinet members! Farewell to the departing ones, your service is appreciated and we look forward to seeing you once again in the future! <span class="red bold">Special thanks</span> to all who ran and if you didn't win, we hope you run again in the future.<br/><br/>Overall, this has been great fun and a highlight for all Texans. We look forward to seeing how the new freely-elected Government of Texas will make Texas bigger, better and greater than ever!&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="red bold">Cheers to The Great Region of Texas!</span></td>

Congratulations to everyone!! As far as a "tie" goes, the articles were up for amendment, if the amendment didn't pass, then it's not amended; what's so hard about that?

Woohoo, first Cabinet position!

By the way Big Tex, I think you meant to write that Article XII failed. That was the one that would've made elections every four years instead of every quarter...and I know you definitely wouldn't have wanted that!

It was my plan to held election every 4 years. So that it will be more realistic.


Anyway. Finally my ass is inside the cabinet after 5 years.

I thank you very much. As now I feel like I can take over the whole world.

Yes, apparently we got XII wrong - it failed.

Can someone please double check all of them?

Anybody want to edit the Constitution (and double check that First Quarter was implement as well)?

Thank you in advance!

Extra Chocolate Salty Balls for the volunteer!

Um, we already have a Goddess of Texas and to take over the world you would first have to take over TX. That could be tricky. :snoopy
