Platform Free Speech: ALR advocates absolute free speech, and believes that the regional government has no right to restrict it at all. ALR is against "Hate Speech" laws, or any laws that legislate "politically correct" forms of speech. Economics: ALR believes in a lassiez faire type of capitalist system, in which regulations are minimal at most in order to create a more efficient Hyatian economy. We also believe that taxes should be kept as low as possible or eliminated. These beliefs are based on the principle that nationstates should have more power than regional governments. Education: Liberal Reformists believe the regional government should play no role in dictating education policy for our citizens. This is a national issue, not a regional issue. Healthcare: We believe the regional government should have no role in health care or health insurance. Drugs: Liberal Reformists believe in keeping all drugs safe and legal at a regional level, but letting individual nations decide how they want to handle the issue. Energy: The ALR does not support any intervention in the energy sector by the regional government. Environment: The ALR supports moderate environmental laws to ensure the safety and long-term stability of the region. Property Rights: Liberal Reformists believe property rights are entitled to the same protection as all other human rights. We believe that owners of property have the right to control, use, dispose of, or in any manner to enjoy their property without interference. We are opposed to eminent domain, whether by the government or by a private entity. Justice: We believe the justice system should treat everyone equally. We support habeas corpus and are opposed to ex-post facto laws and guilt by association. We also believe judges should be held more accountable and are opposed to arbitrary powers within the legal system. Welfare: Liberal Reformists believe that welfare is a national issue and should not be dictated by the regional government Abortion: The ALR believes that abortion is a national issue. We do not support regional government intervention in this area. Guns: We support a universal declaration of the right to bear arms at a regional level as a part of a broader declaration of civil rights. Marriage: Liberal Reformists do not support government involvement in marriage. Defense: Liberal Reformists support keeping a strong regional military to protect our citizens. We realize that military intervention is sometimes necessary to protect our people. Privacy: Liberal Reformists are against dragnet surveillance and DNA databases of our citizens. We support strict restrictions on the law enforcement and intelligence communities to protect the privacy rights of our people. We also support regulations mandating that websites, such as Google, provide a high-visibility opt-out option for any tracking performed on the website. Edited by Belmaria, Apr 13 2014, 02:19 PM.

*pauses to attempt to understand what Netonia is saying Okay, while I don't pretend to be an expert on finance and derivatives, I will attempt to respond. Regarding Thought 1, I agree and would also like to add that the central banking and fiat money system is the current and only source of inflation. Regarding Thought 2, is the logical conclusion of the statement that state mandated deposit insurance ought to be dismantled so that depositors have a greater interest in the solvency of their banks? Finally, I'm not sure that lax regulation of CDOs and CDSs were responsible for the crisis. I think it was a combination of the CRA encouraging banks to take on sub prime loans and the Federal Reserve artificially lowering the interest rate which exerted an inflationary pressure on housing prices and also encouraged the subprime loans. The CDO was invented back in 1987 and didn't become dangerous until they replaced corporate bonds and consumer loans with subprime mortgage loans as the collateral. |

I'd be interested in a Cabinet post, mostly Treasury/Commerce but I think I could also do Justice. |

I believe there are others who would be more qualified for Treasury/Commerce, so I shall withdraw my name from consideration and instead leave it only in the running for Foreign Affairs. |

Okay. So Anteridia could do Commerce/Treasury and Welsh could do Foreign Affairs. I think VFF deserves either Justice or Defense, and we should try to fill the other ourselves. |

Since the children in Love Valley play "Private Protective Service Employees and Citizens Owing Restitution Based in Tort and/or Contract" and therefore are introduced and educated about the legal system from an early age; I nominate VFF to hold the Justice Minister position. |

Okay, I have no objection to that. Does anyone have any objection to VFF holding the Justice position? |

I don't but I am a little concerned that Schaesberg has not yet confirmed that he intends to run for President. |

Sorry. I've been busy writing term papers. It's the end of the semester and I've been procrastinating, so it's been panic mode. I'd be honoured to represent our party in the presidential election and I thank you for the kind words. Edited by Schaesberg, Apr 18 2014, 08:58 AM.

Great then it looks like we're pretty much set save for a Minister of Defense. |
