Cabinet
Yee'hawdy Texas!

Sorry for not making this earlier. Things can just step in the way sometimes. Anyway, I'd like to thank those who have nominated me to become your next Secretary of World Assembly Affairs!!! I have been in Texas for years now, including serving a few Terms on our Texas Representative Council, which is a nice stepping stone to hold this office. Being a logical person, I understand that reading long text like this isn't something everybody does every day. As a result, I'm gonna keep this sweet, short, and to the point.

There are numerous reasons, in fact more than I can count, so I'm just going to bullet point them.

-No TV and No Beer has been very inactive. He hasn't logged in for 55 Days and counting. That actually means he'll Cease to Exist briefly if he doesn't log in sometime during this election cycle. That is very bad news. I don't believe Texas has had a cabinet member CTE in office before, and I'm not actually sure what would happen if this did occur. We can't have cabinet members who store themselves in vacation mode and log in to keep the nation alive. We need someone who is active.

-This change is long overdue. The Cabinet hasn't budged a bit since I joined. Not one has actually lost an election. I feel I am fit to take the spot of a inactive cabinet member, having been in this region for 2 1/2 years (roughly) and counting.

-It's change. The Texas Cabinet, at least somewhat, from what I have heard, They have been trying to get more people involved in regional government. Sure enough, not only would I be a fresh face in the cabinet, but I feel I can bring some new ideas to improve our fine region. Texas is already great, why not elect me and make it greater!

-No TV and No Beer qualifies for expulsion from the cabinet per article XVII of the Texas Constitution, which clearly states: 1. The Governor of Texas may dismiss any Cabinet or Texas Representative Council member for the following reasons:

a. Prolonged inactivity without warning (defined as 28 days on NationStates or the offsite forum)
b. Gross misconduct
c. Non-compliance with the Texas Constitution
d. The Cabinet member voluntarily moves out of the Region of Texas (for any reason other than military or diplomatic missions as approved by the Cabinet) and takes up residence in another region for a period of 5 consecutive days or a period of 10 days total out of any two-week period.
e. Ceasing to exist
f. The Cabinet member willfully chooses NOT to achieve WA status after being elected or appointed to the Texas Cabinet unless excused from doing so by the Governor.


No TV and No Beer qualifies for Cabinet Expulsion under reason A. It is unacceptable to have inactive cabinet members. Electing me goes a step in the right direction, as I am quite active. I don't answer issues oftenly, mainly because I've seen most of them by this point and I'm happy with my nations status.

-I'm active. I appear in the Texas Chat every Saturday, and I consistently make RMB posts.

-I have experience. I have been a member of the TRC previously. I have been on NationStates for 3 1/2 years, the majority of which has been spent in Texas. I've accumulated over 1,800 forum posts. I have a general understanding of the R/D game and how it works. I even go on a mission occasionally. I had involvement in the successful missions in Scotland and Christmas as a member of the United Defenders League.

Sorry for taking a unusual speech format, but I'm trying to keep this short. Don't forget to vote in this election. It is likely to be a crucial one within the history of our fine region.

*throws Cowboy hat up* Yeehaw!,

Also, I'm curious as to what happens if No TV and No Beer doesn't make a speech. Would it be just me vs No Confidence, or would No TV and No Beer automatically end up on the ballot for being the incumbent?

If No TV and No Beer does not acknowledge/accept their nomination by High Noon Sunday, December 11, 2016, when we make the ballots, then they are removed from the ballot.
