This is the wall for the Christian Conservative Party, which has not yet received official recognition as a political party in Right to Life.

You can't campaign yet. As CoL has said multiple times on the RMB, campaigning is only allowed during the week immediately following elections. That means no campaigning until September 23.

No, COL is only referring to placing ads which doesn't start until Sept 23. Freedom of speech allows me to start campaigning whenever I feel it is strategically best for me.

Here you can endorse Ovybia for Senator October 2015
Your topic has been combined into the broader Life Party topic. Ovybia for Senator is not a political party or interest group. Another citizen made the same mistake as you two weeks ago:

Ovybia for Senator is an interest group. It's interest is campaigning for Ovybia for Senator. It's kind of like a super PAC which is a legitimate form of interest group clearly protected under freedom of speech in the US.

Ovybia for Senator is an interest group. It's interest is campaigning for Ovybia for Senator.
The Encyclopædia Britannica has a comprehensive article on interest groups.

http://www.britannica.com/topic/interest-group

Ovybia for Senator doesn't meet the definition. This forum is called Political Parties and Interest Groups; Ovybia for Senator is neither. That said, individual campaign topics will be permitted during the elections period set by our regional constitution: September 23 to October 4.

Also, you still need to complete the process for changing your regional party affiliation:

I'm not going to get down into some technical nonexistent definition of "interest group" that you found somewhere. I'm telling you that the interest of Ovybia for Senator is promoting my election as senator. It's a valid interest group. Just like super PAC are valid organizations. Whether I'm talking about religion or politics, it doesn't change the fact that it's an interest.

So basically, you're saying, "I don't care what others have to say on this matter. I'm right because I say I'm right." Sorry, that won't cut it. You seem to back up a lot of your beliefs with "it's common sense" or something similar, and don't use third-party sources very often. I wonder why.
In any case, your opinion doesn't matter here. CoL has said that your campaign does not qualify as an interest group, and has given the reasoning for such a decision. As per RTL Const. 2:5, then, he has the authority to bar you from official campaigning until the due time.

Interest groups promote causes. You're a putative candidate,* not a cause; and Ovybia for Senator isn't a group.


* I use the word "putative" because one's candidacy for office is not official until he files a declaration, but one cannot file a declaration until nominations open, and nominations open seven days before the voting period begins under our region's constitutional law.

I'll ignore Phydios' comments for now since they are irrational.

The cause that Ovybia for Senator is promoting, is my election as senator. That is a proper cause.
Thomas Aquinas Society is promoting Catholicism. That is a cause.

Whether or not I'm an official candidate, I can still promote my cause of wanting to be senator. Even if I wasn't running, I could open an interest group gathering support for my appointment as dictator of RTL. It would be stupid idea but it's still a cause and therefore is a proper interest group.

The cause is clearly stated in the title, Ovybia for Senator. It is a cause. I'd like to know how you can deny it. Please try to understand my position. Life party primaries open tomorrow and I don't have time to get involved in another court case. New Dologaria may not even log on again until next week.

Please COL, at least try to understand my position this one time.

I know this isn't the right place but I also don't want to post on the RMB, why Ovybia do you want a group so badly? Can't you campaign just as effectively with TGs? I'd also suggest rephrasing your court case because CoL isn't restricting your free speech but rather your interest group; you can say what you want just not in your own forum. I'd suggest maybe re-wording your case to better reflect it's less about saying what you want but more saying what you want where you want. As it stands now I do not believe you'll win.
I apologize for my lack of punctuation and poor spelling/writing in general it's bad, I'll get there someday :P
