Edwards calls for cross-party coalition

Following the closely-fought General Election, outgoing Vice-President and Hosian Democrats leader Dashaud Edwards has congratulated the Democrat candidate, Sam Gresham, on his election to the Presidency, but urged him to "form a broad, cross-party coalition of the moderate parties" rather than "attempting to bring in more extreme and unreliable entities such as the Revolutionary Anarcho-communist Party".

"This country needs political stability and continuity", Edwards said. "The election was very close, with the Democrats and their allies receiving only marginally more support than the Republicans, and from having spoken to ordinary people both during the election and in the aftermath of the people, I really feel that what the Baltusian people want is for politicians from both sides of the aisle to put their heads together and work together".


Edwards denies homosexuality ban claims

Dashaud Edwards has denied claims from Tropica that his group have an agenda to ban homosexuality. "This is absolutely not our policy at all, and we would not consider this to be the Hosian way forward," he said. "As Hosians, we do hold certain principles about marriage and human sexuality, but we have no interest in making gay sex a criminal offence".

GRESHAM ELECTED PRESIDENT; GAINS ACROSS THE BOARD FOR THE UDP
October 7th, 4484
Image
Image

Johnston, D.D.: Baltusia has elected a new President. former Senator and Secretary of the Interior, Sam Gresham, was able to shock the nation as he beat the incumbent President Charles Pickens. In what was a rematch from the 4480 election, Gresham was able to win over nearly 30 million Baltusians to oust the sitting President and become the first Democrat President in 12 years. Very little differentiated the two candidates which is what made it all the more shocking that Gresham was able to take the victory after suffer a huge loss in 4480. Baltusians eveidently took notice of Senator Gresham's tax cuts and Secretary Gresham's feats in tackling the voter fraud issue that has plagued Baltusia over the past decade and establishing a centralized forest agency.

President-elect Gresham celebrated his victory at his campaign headquarters in San Luis, Santiago. Where shortly after President Pickens gave his conession speech from the Blue House, President-elect Gresham gave his victory speech in front of a massive crowd in his hometown.

President-elect Sam Gresham
"Thank you, thank you! Ladies and gentlemen... WE HAVE DONE IT! *applause*Ladies and gentlemen, It is my honor to stand in front of you tonight as your new President, it is truly humbling to be standing here in the very spot I stood 20 years ago, as a young man who had just been elected Mayor of this fine city.

I couldn't be more proud to stand in front of you, as your President. First, I really must honor the outgoing President he ran a good campaign, he remained fairly cleaned during the whole election even when our campaign may have shot a little low. President Pickens I was honored the day you asked me to be apart of your cabinet and I am honored to have the opportunity to succeed you. Don't worry there will not be a massive overhaul to tear down everything you have done but a slight remodel to make our government more efficient. It won't be easy but with the results brought back tonight on Election Night the Democratic Party will follow through and show the Baltusian people they were right in trusting us.

My agenda going forward is to give tax breaks to those hard-working Baltusians. We have been riding a 20 billion dollar surplus for awhile now and it is time we give it back where it belongs. Along with the tax cuts we will trim some of the fat off our budget, we will continue the modernization of our military, and we will continue to position Baltusia as a major player on the international stage.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are gonna have a busy first couple of days but the Democratic Party is going to go to work right away. Once again, Thank you for having me here tonight San Luis, Thank you for trusting in me Baltusia and here is to at least 4 years of peace and prosperity!


Election Night also saw big gains for Democrats across the country. Three new Democrat Governors were elected (Blair Maddock in Attano, Thad Allen in New Egelion, and Jack Murray in Westbrook) and Democrats were able to come up with enough gains to take a very slim majority over congress. This is the election night Democrats have been craving for a very long time.

March 4485

Edwards spearheads revolt against controversy Trade & Industry Secretary

Hosian Democrats leader Dashaud Edwards is leading an audacious attempt to persuade Congress to strip the Secretary of State for Trade & Industry of her executive functions and assign them instead to the Finance Minister.

The reason for this is because Dana Jarvis, the Trade & Industry Secretary, is a member of the Revolutionary Anarcho-communist Party.

Speaking to journalist last night, Edwards commented:

We have nothing personal against Dana Jarvis, but she is a revolutionary anarcho-communist from the Revolutionary Anarcho-communist Party, and this is something that is unsettling the business community and the financial markets. It is bad enough that President Gresham insists on having such people in his Cabinet in the first place, but if he is going to have them, is it really necessary or desirable to appoint them to a key economic portfolio? Does President Gresham seriously mean to tell us that this revolutionary anarcho-communist friend of his is the best person he can find to be in charge of Trade & Industry?

A lot of Baltusian people are going to be waking up this morning thinking "We voted Gresham and the Democrats, so how did we get revolutionary anarcho-communism"? This just goes to show why the Democrats cannot be trusted. They have made an international laughing stock out of our country. Only the Republicans can be relied to govern this nation in a responsible way.

Minerva Fortuna Protest the protection of the prohibition of occult acts law.

In front of a small crew of journalist on johnston, the Member of the PLLA, criticize the Baltuia Congress, for blocking her faction attempt to repeal the prohibition of occult acts. She also criticize the comments that where made about Ruby Woods for being a former escort.

So what if she has sex with some men for money, it was her choice and her job. She is simply trying to find a way to get new job. But everywhere she goes, she is met with the same comments over and over. This is discrimination. I can tell you that i pressured my factions leaders to find her a better job, As far as I know her, Miss Woods has been trying to find another job ever since she got pregnant.

Also, I find it insulting, that the Congress, find my job, to be an occult arts, I was a simple fortune teller. The only thing I could, was to try to interpret the sequence of cards my client would present, and read their psychological profile, in order to predict their future. There is nothing occult in that. I'M a bit worried that the republicans and some democrats could continue in that direction to outlaw things the hosian religion deem as inappropriate, like Stellaris. I can imagine the scene, someone watching a movie about magic, just to see the hosian crashing in the house to cut it.

Merci Dolphin-Sheriff reprimanded by Yugi Green.

In a recent decision that seem non-important, Merci Dolphin-Sheriff was demoted from her position in the caucus for being an embarrassment. She was asked to stop being a fool, as such, she will not be able to present her candidacy at the next general.

Yugi Green said that in the PLLA caucus, the move is rarely used.

We don't normally do this. But this time, we use our power to give Merci a warning to stop joking around, in politics, people are seriously trying to improve the lives of their citizen. We are not there to present ridiculous projects like shooting the Moon. We told her that she will not permitted to run in the next election and that if she want to run again as a members of our caucus, she will need to be more serious.


Merci Dolphin-Sheriff did not comment on the decision of her caucus to prevent from running in the last election.

Patient Criticize the blockage of polio-therapy

The congress is going to prevent the legalization of polio-therapy, which means that Patients affected by a brain cancer, will not be able to try the new treatment in a attempt to save their live. A Patient affected by a type of brain, confirmed us she was going to immigrate to Tropica, because of Baltusia decision to not legalize the treatment she require.
Marianna Silver, a police officer had to resign after she was diagnosed with a type of Brain Cancer that threaten her capacity to memorize information and her visual abilities.

There is no more hope fo me in Baltusia. The doctors have no treatment for me, they can only give me medicine that would allow to die without suffering, I don't want to die. I'm going to try Polio-Therapy in Tropica. I am more then aware that is it a third-world nation, that they have difficulties in the energy sector. That the polio-virus is a dangerous disease, but I'm already doomed right now. This is my only cancer to survive, and I won't be the only one to make this sad choice. Baltusia gave up on me. By blocking the legalization of polio-therapy, Baltusia legislation show that they don't care about the sick.

Congress set to pass bipartisan education reform
February 21st, 4486
Image
Image
"This is the greatest achievement in nearly all of our years as a federal republic.
The future generations of our nation, from kindergarten to college, will finally be guaranteed their right to a fair education."
Senate Majority Leader Dave Rockwell voices his approval of one of the first key pieces of legislation proposed by the Gresham Administration.

Image

Castle Rock, Westbrook: Being already two years into the first UDP led government since the Farnsworth Administration, Republicans were licking their lips from the sidelines, hoping to catch sight of any possible slip-ups in the Gresham Administration. Those mistakes have yet to occur however, and nearly all caucuses of the Republican Party have voted in favor of comprehensive education reforms proposed by the PLLA, the most hard left faction of the UDP. Despite having a rocky start after the Farnsworth Administration, which some political analysts mark as the most unpopular Administration in Baltusia's recent history, the UDP has come full circle, presenting a unified moderate leftist voice in Baltusia, eager to enact the long dormant reforms of Oliver Farnsworth.

Achieving nearly half of the support of the Republican Party and near unanimous support of the UDP is the Right to Education Act of 4485, which completely subsidizes the cost of tuition. Despite causing the Department of Commerce to scramble a budget in order to be able to fund such subsidies, but all seems well for being able to provide aforementioned funds, as economic analysts report Baltusia boasts a robust $24b BLD surplus.

Other reforms set to be passed in Congress include the Unitarian Education Reform Act of 4485, and the Private Education Institution Regulatory Act of 4485, with the former giving government ownership to a network of higher education institutions across the country, as well as enacting regulations to existing private education campuses to ensure they meet national standards. The latter also enacts essentially the same regulations.

As far as a reaction from the public, teenagers far and wide are expressing immense support for the bills, with many saying that their crushing student loan debt may finally be at it's end. Many of the younger generation of Baltusia, despite subsidies being enacted for those classified as low-income or poor, still struggled to maintain their tuition payments, with student loan debt even contributing to a small portion of the national deficit, according to economic analysts.

When asked about the status of private education institutions, one UDP Congressman remarked: "Aside from a few extra rules that they have to adhere to once the bill passes, I feel they'll be hit very little from the impact. I'd say the worst thing that could possibly happen is drops in enrollment, but that shouldn't be too much of a concern, with these tuition reforms."

In Castle, 137 person where invited to the presentation of the movie, Myria Luck and the Magic College. Horever, they where denounced by an hosian to the authorities, who proceeded in the arrestation of everyone, because the host, Kathleen Wolf, had given (little charms) as a gift to every visitors, to celebrate the production and the presentation of the movie. The Movie was suppose to describe the life of a Baltusia girl, when she is invited to learn magic, in a world dominated by witches. The hosian who denounce them to the authorities said it is clear that theses people where involved in an occult and that they should be punished for violating the prohibition of occult acts.

It is clear, that these people are violating the law on Occults acts, they were givens charms and that's outlawed. they must all be arrested.
Anonymous Hosian

Horever the productor of the movie and the host of the reunion, Kathless Wolf, protested this arrestation

Come on, this is no occult act, We simply produced a movie where magic play a fundamental roles, because we know children to tend to like this. There is nothing wrong, here.

SEN. MEYERS AGAINST THE REPEAL OF PROHIBITION OF OCCULTS ACTS BILL
October 7th, 4484
Image
Image
Johnston, D.D.: Senator Victoria Meyers, representing the State of New Egelion, made public the decision of the Socialist Caucus of the United Democratic Party of Baltusia, to not support the Repeal Prohibition of Occult Acts bill on the Senate. This on the base of a "significant drop of scams on the streets of Baltusia". Sen. Meyers made clear that the "Socialist Caucus will not get allow back scammers on the streets of our nation".

SOCIALEAKS: A major scandal, dozens of e-mails from the Socialist Caucus leaked last night. At 12:01 AM last night dozens of e-mails from members of the UDP-S, and even the Vice President of the US, were leaked to the public on a popular website. From the Socialists Sen. Meyers we had a major lead on to who may have leaked them: "We are currently investigating, but it wouldn't be a surprise to us that members of the PLLA just hacked into our computers to harm us, they seemed pretty upset with us after we presented our new Abortion Bill. The PLLA does not care about women, and that's the only fact we know". Before leaving the press conference she made her last remark "if it's actually them, we will present charges to the UDP council of honor and ethics, and of course, to the authorities".

The Emails had relevant content on future legislation and even some love affairs between members of the party.
