Well, not sure if you guys are following the news, but the P4P has folded and all its members joined with the UMP. I am actually quite distressed by this as it leaves us now, solely, as the only Left Party. And our numbers have dwindled.
John Liep, meanwhile, has agreed to step in as a pinch hitter in the Assembly...so should VATA go up for a vote, he'll vote any way I tell him.
There's a new guy who just entered the country, who appears to be on the left, so maybe we'll recruit him.
We need to continue what we're doing and do it with a lot of vigour. As our term ends, lets's try to introduce as much legislation as possible.
I'll be working on fulfilling a couple of my campaign promises shortly...

Hello everyone,
I would like to join the ESA. I feel a certain moral conviction to join the only Left party in my new country. My proof of citizenship is here. http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3938728&postcount=46
Thanks,
Jeremiah Olson

It seems like I've arrived at a difficult time. I just want everyone to know that I'm willing to do whatever I can for the ESA and the people of Eutopia. 
It's a difficult and slow time...Do you want to get right into the swing of things and become a member of the Assembly. We have a member named Liep who is on it, but his activity is limited; so if you're up for it we need a new, fresh, fighting member.
By the way, Rashaad and Cornelius. Love the march. Couldn't be there myself, but have heard great things about it. Keep it up

I would be happy to join the Assembly and help out with the fight for Socialism. I would like to have a better idea of what my responsibilities would be before I agree though. I would love to help, but I just want to know what all is expected of an Assembly member, so that I don't neglect anything unintentionally.
Welcome to the Party!
You won't neglect anymore than I would. An active member in the Assembly is way better for the party than having me being there just to fill the seat.

Ok. I'll tell the Speaker about your nomination to the GA.
Also (OOC) can you sign your name to your posts, or include it in your signature...It's hard to remember your character name.

Jolson...You're now a member of the Assembly. So feel free to go there...when it is safe.
Speaking of which. Dank....while I do appreciate your devotion, I feel I must officially reprimand you for your actions. The march was great...but asking the mob to charge the General Assembly?
What can you reasonably expect my reaction to be? By all rights you can be arrested for this...incitement they call it.
It doesn't speak for the Party...The Party can't condone it.

Alone in his ESA office, Josephus sits down on a couch, lights a cigar (the last from his old pal Castor, unfortunatly) puts his feet up and begins to ponder his future.
Murmurandus...missing.
Gonzov....missing.
Olson...jail
Dank...jail.
various others....dead, missing, lost, absent.
That leaves...hmmm....me, Rashaad and Liep.
He gets up and turns on his computer. He loads up a clean Word document and begins thinking of typing out his memoirs.

But instead, Josephus loads up Hearts of Iron Two on his PC.

Hey Joe. I'm consulting some legal people to rewrite some parts of the VATA. I'm going to propose it again. With Dank and Olsen in jail, will they be able to vote? They should be out soon...maybe not Dank but...I think I'm going to write an article for the Eutopian Worker. It's bullshit the way the left is getting percieved for this. I was there. Dank didn't shoot himself in the shoulder. I bet FLEA infiltrated the march, like in Haymarket. It's not a new tactic. And it's having the same effect. The police were only too happy to beat the red blood out of us. I'm going to put a big picture of that girl getting her nose broken by one of those pigs centerfold. Ugh...
OK Rashaad. Go ahead with the EW article. Look forward to it.
We'll get Liep to fill in for Dank. Olson should be out of jail, hopefully.

Josephus calls Rashaad into his office.
Rashaad. Sit down. Let's have a word. Like a cognac? How about a smoke...ehm, cigars that is. Nothing Cuban, I'm afraid, all out of that.
Listen, I don't care about your marijuana thing...I'm looking past that. I actually think that sort of thing will help us with the young voters.
I want to talk to you about Cornelius. Look, I know you've been seen with him a fair bit. I've got no real advisors left...Loic's a bit of a traitor since leaving the P4P.
Tell me. What should I do with Cornelius? Leave him on his own? Cut him lose? Ban him from the party? Bribe a prison guard to put a bullet to his head?....Or stick up for one of our own. Defend him. Fight for him.
Tell me.
Frankly, I want to disown him. HE's really been a bit of a nuisance in my opinion..and one of the reasons we've had so many party defections. I wrote that editorial because publicly we need to be seen as united...and, honestly, I did like the idea of the million man march.

It's a tough call. I personally think he's getting an unfair rap and has been for awhile. He's on trial more for his idealogy than his crimes.
Having said that, he does make us look bad, whether it's fair or not. I don't think we should kick him out of the party, at least until they reach a verdict. If he's found not guilty we'd lose alot of face with other socialists.
I think he'll have good enough sense to resign from the GA. It's in his best interests as well as the ESAs. Maybe we should limit our support for him throughout the trial, and if he can survive on his own welcome him back?

Fair enough. Let's try to distance ourselves from him publicly . The ESA will cover his legal expenses...he deserves that. Let's await his verdict.

Olson arrives at party headquarters.
"Hey everybody." He announces himself. He looks at Josephus. "Sorry about everything. But I'm ready to get back to work. Whatever needs to be done, I'm ready to do it." Olson looks a bit embarassed but pushes on. "I heard that Dank is going to defend himself. As for me, I'm glad I won't be going back to jail. I did get a harmonica out of it though."

Welcome back Olson. No worries. You just got caught up in the moment. Good to have an arrest under you wings.
Your GA seat is still yours. I've talked to the Speaker, and he's willing to let you stay on.
