Well well well....
Tsk tsk tsk....

I haven't been able to go on either the Nationstates site or our own regional board for a few days and now it seems I've received a nomination. By the way I'd like to place the blame entirely on our house rabbit who took it upon herself to sever the cord that connects my own computer to the internet.
It's been a year since our last nomination, I looked it up. Unfortunately I was unable to find my last nomination speech in the brief moments before having taken this stage, so I couldn't copy and paste it. Luckily for you I remembered that last time I used cake in my speech and as that seemed to work quite well, I shall do so once again.

Now as to the nomination, I'd be happy to act as Official Texas Goodwill Ambassador. I can not make any promises to log in every single day, but I shall endeavour to log in more frequently than before. Please take pity on an old Nationstates' country and understand that there are other activities that require my attention. As for the connection to the internet, I have set up a wireless connection for the time being, but perhaps our house rabbit can sever that connection as well, we'll have to see.

Finally, I'd like to remind potential voters that this country is extremely pacifist and as far left-wing as it can go without actually turning into an anarchy. You only need to look at how this country has been run for the last decade.

And now I shall end with the cake..

Texas Representative Council
Greetings fellow Texans. This is President Woodward aka The Big W of The United States of Woodward speaking. First of all, I'd like to thank our Lt. Governor, Study Penguins, for this nomination and everybody who seconded.

It's been a real pleasure to represent this awesome region these past 3 trimesters and I thank each and every one of you for the continued support. There are a lot of deserving candidates on the ballot this trimester and if the great citizens of this fine region would still have me on the TRC, I'd consider it a great honor.

Thank you for your time my fellow Texans.

:txFlag Long live the Great Region of Texas! :txFlag

President Woodward aka The Big W
The United States of Woodward.
