My stump speech is not going to make me very popular, but these are issues that I feel quite strongly about and truly believe that FT would be a better place if implemented.

If elected, I promise to propose and campaign for TalkBoard resolutions on the following issues :

a) Eliminating the OMNI forum.
b) Reversing the TalkBoard guidelines requiring members suspended for 30-days to be removed
c) Eliminating post counts entirely
d) Eliminating custom titles (eg. Evangelist, etc...)
e) Eliminating signature files

If you agree with the above points, you really need vote for me as your minority voice will be vociferously represented.

If you disagree with the above, don't waste your vote on me as I will probably play politics to obstruct motions that run contrary to the above issues from passing.

I would also urge everyone NOT to vote for those candidates who already hold office as appointed moderators. I view FlyerTalk as having a tricameral governance system with TalkBoard serving as Legislative, Moderators as Judicial and Randy/IB as Executive branches respectively. There is an inherent conflict of interest when the same entities hold both Legislative and Judicial power.

Good luck to the other candidates and I urge those who actually do get elected not to forget about the minority voices of dissent that have tried to speak up during our unsuccesful campaigns.
