The Rise of The RTF![]() By: The RCS On December 14th, [nation]Pan-Celtic Nation[/nation], (a former president of Right to Life) established the Reactionary Traditionalist Front. The platform of the party is, "a political party in Right to Life that is a right-winged religious movement that advocates for a return to the Traditional values pre-French Revolution and the Enlightenment Era following 1789. These values are centered around God, sacramental religion, family, and other more conservative values. RTF is strongly anti-communist and follows legal moralism." With the creation of the RTF, The Life Party and Libertarian Parties became defunct with most of the members of the Life Party going to the RTF and most of the Libertarian Party joining the RTF with the remaining members joining the Conservative Federalist Party. The RTF's sudden rise to being the largest party in Right to Life seemingly happened overnight with its political unity currently unknown, until we reach the February elections when Right to Life will elect two senators will we know the strength of this new coalition. In the past the Conservative Federalist Party have held power for the majority of Right to Life's existence and still holds a seat in the senate with the RTF controlling the other two, including the presidency. The current make up of the political landscape of Right to Life has the RTF with a membership count of eight, the CFP with six, and the Liberals for Life Coalition with three. Time has shown numerous times already in Right to Life's history that parties form and flourish for a time and then can fade into obscurity, so once again time will be the final judge on the success of the RTF as well as the CFP and LLC. |

The Times They Are A Changin' [region]Right to Life[/region] has seen a massive change in the general makeup of the citizenry, with many formerly active citizens leaving, and many new nations coming to make their homes in Right to Life. Toward the end of last summer, many, including myself, left NationStates, and as such, Right to Life. Our best guess is that these nations either were preparing for scholarly commitment or just decided it was time to move on. These nations, most notably, [nation]Texoma[/nation], [nation]United Massachusetts[/nation]s, Imperii Ecclesia, and Ovybia, were some of the most active citizens, in both WA advocacy, regional government, and general discussion. During this time, Texasa was banned for treason, for reasons which can be found in the previous iteration of this newsletter. While these nations left, many former regional prodigies and active citizens came back to Right to Life, including [nation]Dallas Unit 9[/nation] and [nation]The Patrimony of Saint Peter[/nation]. Furthermore, Texoma and United Massachusetts rejoined [region]Right to Life[/region], revitalizing an inactive Regional Message Board. Sure enough, with the most left-wing member of Right to Life (myself) back in the region, as well as arguably its most right-wing member, Saint Peter, political debate began rising up again. However, citing the influence of so-called "Cultural Marxists" in the region, Saint Peter left to [region]The League of Conservative Nations[/region]. His contributions to our region will be deeply missed, and we hope he continues to cooperate with us through Pro-Life International, our international pact for pro-life regions. Finally, many new nations have made a name for themselves recently, which is truly exciting. They've brought a new vitality to the region, and are the reason I remain incredibly optimistic about the future of [region]Right to Life[/region].

I'll write the article on the UPS raid soon -- before we publish the January newsletter. I'll hold off on the commissions article. I anticipate that the new Senate will consider and maybe even pass bills on the proposed library commission and the proposed economic development commission in February, so I can write the story or stories on those commissions for the February newsletter.

Clumsy but Successful Mission (By Culture of Life) ![]() In celebration of its fifth anniversary, the Right to Life Army (RTLA) performed a false-flag operation in the Union of Proletarian States (UPS) during the last week of December and first week of January. The mission got off to a rocky start when an unexpectedly early update split RTLA forces in half as they were jumping into the region. The mission's commander, Dallas Unit 9, was a few seconds late and failed to seize the delegacy. The soldiers, however, decided to stay in the region to wait and see whether they'd be ejected. They weren't ejected and, therefore, took control of UPS 12 hours later (at the minor update). Assisted by post-update reinforcements from the League of Conservative Nations Armed Forces (LCNAF), RTLA soldiers pretended to be Trotskyists and denounced UPS's Stalinist, anti-Semitic government, claiming that the region would be redeemed for true socialism and equality. In particular, RTLA troops condemned pro-Holocaust comments made by a regional officer and ordered the closure of UPS's embassy with Skinheads. When less than 12 hours remained until the embassy's closure, Dallas Unit 9 tagged the region and resigned from the World Assembly. As the RTLA and LCNAF withdrew from UPS, the United Soviet Socialist Fleet (USSF) retook the region, falsely boasting that it had liberated it. USSF restored the native government but not the Skinheads embassy. After the mission, Dallas Unit 9 was promoted to colonel. She's the first RTLA member to reach the rank since Prussia -- a former president of Right to Life and a former delegate and general in the East Pacific.

She's the first RTLA member to reach the rank since Prussia -- a former president of Right to Life and a former delegate and general in the East Pacific. Right to Life Senate Elections (By [nation]United Massachusetts[/nation]) ![]() After a long and hard fought campaign amongst five Senatorial Candidates: United Massachusetts (Liberals for Life), Roman Catholic Federation (Reactionary Traditionalist Front), Texoma (Conservative Federalists), the RCS (Conservative Federalists), and Stellonia (Independent), Right to Life voters went to the polls on February 1-4 to elect their two new Senators. The Roman Catholic Federation, running a campaign based off morality in government and firm anti-communism, was re-elected to another term with 43.75% of the vote. United Massachusetts, who ran for Senate on a platform of economic stimulus, anti-discrimination, and foreign outreach, was also elected with 43.75% of voters backing him. The RCS and Stellonia each withdrew during voting and endorsed United Massachusetts, most likely giving him just enough support to become elected.Throughout campaigning, major issues emerged, some of the largest being the role of religion in the region, its anti-discrimination policy, and the creation of a public library. Each candidate raised important points, and the efforts of all of them are to be lauded. In terms of Right to Life's political makeup, the Roman Catholic Federation's re-election assured the continued dominance of the Reactionary Traditionalist Front over government, as the party controls a majority of the Senate, including President New Missouri. It also signifies the potential revitalization of Right to Life's smallest party, the Liberals for Life Coalition, led by New Dolgaria. Perhaps the most interesting takeaway is that Right to Life's oldest political party, the Conservative Federalist Party, is, for the first time since 2013, shut out of the Senate and the Presidency. Right to Life Reflects on Economy; Tries to Find Solutions (By [nation]United Massachusetts[/nation]) ![]() As mandated by RTL Code §9.19, the regional Senate is required to, in cooperation with the Bank Director, review the status of the regional economy every June and December. As such, the regional Founder, [nation]Culture of Life[/nation] ([nation]Christian Democrats[/nation]), opened a discussion thread for citizens to share their ideas for how to improve the economy. Right to Life's economy has indeed stagnated as of late, with fewer corporations being opened and most activity relating to governmental policy. However, many interesting ideas were floated around, such as the creation of an Economic Stimulus Board. Originally, proposed by Dallas Unit 9, a political libertarian, the proposal would creation an economic board responsible for spending Bank funds to create economic activities through raffles. Through the discussion, the Founder made quite the interesting point, claiming that Right to Life has a primarily socialist economy. In a post, he said that "regardless of our real-world economic views, we should just go ahead and acknowledge that Right to Life basically has a socialist economy. There aren't many private businesses; the government is responsible for the vast majority of economic activity." Meanwhile, the region's more progressive members have proposed a legislation to establish a regional minimum wage, in an attempt to bring an end to months of discussion about the issue. The bill's proponent, [nation]United Massachusetts[/nation], has repeatedly called for a minimum wage in the past, claiming it would increase work incentive, circulate more money into the stagnant economy, and perhaps make it easier for workers to found businesses. However, past attempts to establish a minimum wage not gained enough traction to pass, primarily out of fear over the costs. The region would be, under the proposal, mandated to pay all workers ₤10 every month. In order to pay for this, some have proposed a tax (though this is not in the petition), an idea vehemently opposed by the majority of citizens. Some citizens, such as [nation]Stellonia[/nation], have called for decreasing the costs to found corporations, claiming that said reductions would encourage entrepreneurship, enable more citizens to found companies. However, some fear that said changes would reduce the Bank's incomes and result in a Bank crisis. There have also been some citizens, primarily [nation]Phydios[/nation], who have called in the past for the destruction of the regional economy entirely. They claim that the chronic problems the economy has been experiencing cannot be fixed, and that citizens have shown themselves to have little interest in the institution. These arguments have been responded to with a message of economic optimism, as many citizens believe that "quantitative easing", of sorts, will boost activity. Regardless, [region]Right to Life[/region] will be having serious conversations about its economic activity in the future. The citizens have some hard choices to make, but once they do this, the economy will find itself back on track. The Times They Are A Changin' (By [nation]United Massachusetts[/nation]) ![]() [region]Right to Life[/region] has seen a massive change in the general makeup of the citizenry, with many formerly active citizens leaving, and many new nations coming to make their homes in Right to Life. Toward the end of last summer, many, including myself, left NationStates, and as such, Right to Life. Our best guess is that these nations either were preparing for scholarly commitment or just decided it was time to move on. These nations, most notably, [nation]Texoma[/nation], [nation]United Massachusetts[/nation]s, Imperii Ecclesia, and Ovybia, were some of the most active citizens, in both WA advocacy, regional government, and general discussion. During this time, Texasa was banned for treason, for reasons which can be found in the previous iteration of this newsletter. While these nations left, many former regional prodigies and active citizens came back to Right to Life, including [nation]Dallas Unit 9[/nation] and [nation]The Patrimony of Saint Peter[/nation]. Furthermore, Texoma and United Massachusetts rejoined [region]Right to Life[/region], revitalizing an inactive Regional Message Board. Sure enough, with the most left-wing member of Right to Life (myself) back in the region, as well as arguably its most right-wing member, Saint Peter, political debate began rising up again.

His contributions to our region will be deeply missed, and we hope he continues to cooperate with us through Pro-Life International, our international pact for pro-life regions. Finally, many new nations have made a name for themselves recently, which is truly exciting. They've brought a new vitality to the region, and are the reason I remain incredibly optimistic about the future of [region]Right to Life[/region]. Right to Life Removed from CAIN's Blacklist in a 17-1 Vote (By [nation]United Massachusetts[/nation]) ![]() [region]Right to Life[/region] was removed from [region]The CAIN[/region]'s (The Coalition Against the Ideology of Nazism) blacklist of "Nazi Collaborator" regions by a 17-1 vote. The only vote to keep Right to Life on the blacklist was The Red Fleet, NationStates' largest leftist military group. Right to Life, along with multiple other regions, was removed for the fact that its embassies with regions in question existed both as "outreach embassies", which Right to Life uses to spread the pro-life message across the world. Despite a lack of evidence of Right to Life's supposed cooperation with Nazi regions, our Founder's ([nation]Christian Democrats[/nation]) condemnation of Nazism on CAIN's thread, as well as our regional law (which forbids Nazi parties), The Red Fleet, led by [nation]Caelapes[/nation], continued to make false claims about Right to Life's foreign policy. In the aftermath of the debate, in which [nation]Culture of Life[/nation]([nation]Christian Democrats[/nation]) clarified Right to Life's embassy policy, it was found out that Right to Life was on the "unraidable target list" of The Red Fleet, which our Founder described in an RMB post as their "top secret hit list." The Red Fleet, which has often been hailed as the anti-fascist force of NationStates, has targeted the innocent, mainstream regions of New Republica, Slavija, Libertarians, and Yerfilag. It's no surprise that Right to Life is in the crosshairs of the militant left as well, despite clear global agreement, even among CAIN member regions, that Right to Life has never been sympathetic with fascism.

I don't believe we should publish an "embassy policy" article in the newsletter until there is some sort of discussion in the Senate or the Executive Council. Also, I think we should add an article on the results of the senatorial election. |
