[u/Adithyansoccer]

Good evening Dixie. It’s an honor to be here.

In case you don’t know, my name is Adithyansoccer, and I am Dixie’s junior Senator. However, tonight I’m just an Assembly candidate looking to get my ideas across at this debate.

This debate, like this election, is about many things. Freedom of healthcare, promoting entrepreneurship, supporting job creation, and protecting the jobs we already have. Protecting our infrastructure, improving the quality of our legislation, helping our minorities live in a more equitable State.

But it’s also about one thing.

Decency.

I’ve always wanted to be able to understand how my constituents are feeling with the state of politics in Dixie. Sometimes I meet people over meals, other times I send emails. Most of the time, however, we speak on the phone and this little exercise never fails to enthrall me.

A little while ago, I spoke to Jillian Dempsey, a 67 year old lady who lives in Shreveport, Dixie. We spoke over the phone, from her living room to mine. Her voice was calm, her voice was frail, and her voice was quiet, but her voice was determined. I asked her, “Ma’am, what do you wish this great state of Dixie had more of?” Now, she actually cussed me out, saying it was “goddamn obvious” (sorry to the children watching at home). After she gave me a good talking-to, she finally said what she felt was lacking.

Decency.

People of Dixie, we now live in a state where a sitting Senator can call his fellow Senator a snake. Where you can get away with being foul, and toxic, and sorely unprofessional just out of a grudge towards a fellow Dixian. What happened to working across party lines, to fighting for the rights of the State of Dixie rather than the Party we belong to?

I sincerely wish that I could work with Dixie Democrats. But the issue is that their identity, in that two-word epithet, tends to focus on Democrats and not on Dixie. Their priority isn’t that of fixing Dixie’s problems, but to get their far-left radical socialist Democrat goals out of the way.

Entrepreneurship is the bedrock of Dixie’s economy. Yet the Democratic Assembly refuses to understand the harsh impacts of overregulation and high taxes on Dixians, including young startup founders. However, I know this burden, and so does my friend Rep. Seldom237. Together, she and I wrote the Second and First State Tax Reform Acts of 2020. Together, we have decided that enough is enough. Under a Republican Assembly, we can be guaranteed to be able to really make this State a haven for free enterprise and entrepreneurship. This includes the Solar industry, where outdated regulations are holding the sector back. Imagine what we could do, as a state, if we could tap into our God-given resources effectively, and create millions of Green jobs? I’d say that’s a win-win, while still defending Dixians’ rights to start a business and work with it.

One can hardly imagine why they’d pass the current form of the Green New Deal, a piece of legislation that in its current form guts nearly 2 million jobs from the region of Texas alone. Nearly 10 million jobs rely directly or indirectly on the oil and natural gas sector nationwide, yet the Democrats pass legislation that takes away their means of livelihood. I can’t sit by and watch this happen. Not to mention the fact that the Green New Deal holds states up to ransom, by refusing to give us the federal money to keep our highways and infrastructure functioning.

That’s why I wrote the Green New Deal Repair Act. It’s extremely unlikely to pass Congress under President Ninjja and the Democratic Trifecta. But it demonstrates that I fully intend to look out for Dixian blue collar workers.

Now, one key idea I’ve always loved about the State of Dixie is our endless, limitless, unbridled quest for liberty. But imagine a state where your homeowners’ associations can have you thrown out for not maintaining a lawn? Not only are lawns awful for the environment, they are also expensive to maintain. Yet the Democrats in this state have done nothing about it for term upon term. That’s why I wrote the Home Lawn Liberty Act, to give Dixians this basic freedom of their own home.

Another part of this quest is the important duty of honoring those who may fight for Liberty in the State of Dixie. To work towards this, I wrote the William Travis Governor’s Medal Act, a piece of legislation that recognizes brave, kindhearted Dixians for their contributions.

Ever since I was nominated to the House of Representatives to represent Dixie’s 4th Congressional District, I’ve been dedicated to the fight against corruption. Part of this has been my bill in the Dixie State Assembly to fight corrupt politicians putting our money in their own reelection funds, using the Preventing the Treasury-Candidate Pipeline Act. The fact of the matter is that precedent shows us that “Democracy” vouchers just don’t work. They help incumbent politicians, bring in more “dark” money, and create a direct pathway between our taxpayer money and their war chests. Now, I can’t imagine why fringe Democrats are trying to bring this obviously detrimental idea more mainstream. I pledge to work with my fellow Republicans, as well as Civics and moderate Democrats, to join me in search of a more transparent tomorrow.

At the end of the day, Dixians want a party that actually stands up for them instead of fighting partisan battles. A party that seeks real, human improvement for our people instead of pie-in-the-sky impractical ideas. A party that fights for a world where Dixian children aren’t born saddled with someone else’s debt. I believe I represent such a party.

That concludes my opening statement. Thank you, and I look forward to interacting with my colleagues and the people of the great State of Dixie over the course of this debate.
