Major Issues:

Immigration
Expansion
Infrastructure, especially in rural areas
Economy and business
Modesty Laws
Global Warming and Climate Change
Death Penalty

Up for re-election Incumbent President

Gregory Anderson

Party: Centrist

Accomplishments: President of the nation for 4 years. Set a flat Income Tax Rate at 5%, outlawed carbon emitting vehicles, founded the National News Corporation.

Platform: If re-elected wants to begin the Global Expansion Act (recently passed) to begin further relations in the international community. He does not support immediate immigration into the country, but hopes to open the borders with in 10 years. Wants further research to be done on non-carbon emitting vehicles but will not accept prototypes to be used until research is completed and hybrids are ready for mass production.

Paul Kent

Party: Centrist

Accomplishments: Served as a judge for three years, left the bench to be with his family for a while, in the wake of one of his daughter becoming ill.
Repealed The Death Penalty and helped the ban on vehicles.

Platform: Pledges a full war on Global Warming. Supports the opening of borders and guest programs. Also won't take car prototypes until mass production is deemed for international markets. Give more privacy rights for businesses and lower business tax rates. Lower tax rates for citizens.

Mary-Kathrine Per

Party: Progressive Party

Accomplishments: The first woman to run for president in the nation's history. Mostly a dedicated mother and often leader of Church Organizations. Was considered for the National Relief Society but was passed up.

Platform: Skeptical about Global Warming, believes pollution is more of a thing to worry about. Would like to see hybrids introduced and tested in the country, would also welcome and grant a tax break for companies that come to LDSS. Wants computers in schools within the the next 10 years.

"Welcome to the presidential debate. We will have a series of questions from the moderator and around the country and world. Each candidate will have 90 seconds to respond. Our first question is on the topic of immigration, President Anderson, assume we open the borders who would you allow in?"

"Immigration of legal citizens is a touchy topic right now. But I don't think we are ready to open to everyone and/or everything. We have a strong and faithful population but were are in a world that still doesn't understand what this faith is all about. We don't need anti-propaganda being filtered. For now we'll let a few in."

"Time."

"Judge Kent?"

"Well I agree to some extent with my co-candidate here, but at the same time, I think the people are faithful enough to know the truth."

"Mrs. Per?"

"I think it's time to open and be open to the world. We can't stop wickedness, even with in our own borders among our own people. Doesn't mean we can't be an example. I think the more open, the more people will learn about us, and the better our economy will be, and the better off we'll be."

"Moving onto next topic, automobiles. Ms. Per, let's start with you."

"I think with out cars we are going nowhere. I don't think Global Warming is real, but pollution is very real. I do admit to having voting in favor of the baning but I did it in a feverish pitch. Now I partially regret that, but that's okay. I think it's time to start importing Hybrids."

"Time. Mr. Kent?"

"Global Warming is a real threat, and we need to end carbon emission now! But we have no idea if these hybrids work, they are too expensive and too new to import in mass production or at all."

"President Anderson?"

"I feel the same about auto's, we need to wait."

(lol sorry for the belated response)

Ms. Per thanks you greatly for your support.

"Okay now we move onto to Death Penalty President Anderson what is your opinion on this?"

"I support the Law of Capital Punishment as it is currently, I don't think we need to ban it, or revise it."

"Judge Kent?"

"I oppose the Death Penalty, I believe it is not in the interest of our state and does not support the ideals of human life."

"Ms. Per?"

"I support Capital Punishment in haneous and barbaric acts of nature. There are some criminals that are simply to dangerous to be left alive. But again these are for very serious crimes, not for silly things like immodesty, or cursing. We aren't in the dark ages and we never have been, and we shouldn't go now."

"Turning over to Infrastructure, Ms. Per let's start with you?"

"Our infrastructure needs work. Too many are with out electricity and some are even with out the other basic utilities."

"Mr. Kent?"

"I agree with Ms. Per but I don't think it's just the small towns and rural farmers. I think it's the inner city that needs work. Our schools are falling apart, we are falling behind in our materials, and our roads are becoming impassable in time of heavy rain."

"Time. President Anderson?"

"If elected I will continue my plan of infrastructure development, and that is we wait and build up the treasury and then spend."

bump for votes

Please don't spam my thread.

Will Per Become the First Woman President?

The polls are a buzz, the votes are being counted, and the candidates are playing hard ball. Each vote has been appearing to drawing the nation closer and closer to the first Woman President in the History of the state.

"Tradition dictates the woman stays home," Per said "And I respect that, but I do feel it should be up to them. I want to continue to improve the status of life in this country for both genders."

Per has been a favorite among many male and female candidates. "She proves women can still be there for their famlies and be in a position like that," said Alice Warthal a resident who has been spreading Per's message.

"I think it's great she has the boldness to run for this office," Said Andy McNight.

Church officals have said they will stand by Per if she gets elected and will give full support.

"Mary-Kathrin Per is a fine daughter of God," Said Church President "We may not agree with all her positions but we will ask for her to be blessed in this."

The Theocracy will conclude voting on Friday.
