   DIR By: Confederacy of Turkducken
       Date: August 22, 2015, 12:10 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Aradesh Maharaj, Leader of the Moderates in Turkducken,
       announces his plans for running for President of the NCSA.
       Aradesh is a long time opposition to Turkducken President Lance
       Faraday, supporting increased military spending, the life of
       Turkduckden's ban on automobiles, and the abolishment of the
       secular State.
       While his announcement is scheduled to happen today, no formal
       platform has been announced.

       Running as an independent in the political race, Aradesh Maharaj
       has formally released his Presidential Platforms.
       Expansion of the Military
       --- Quote ---
       > Expanding the Confederal Army is important, we need to have
       more diversity in the recruitment process, and States should
       take steps to arm the National Military.

       Religious Protectionism
       --- Quote ---
       > Religion is a sacred institution and should not be violated by
       the States, we should prevent the taxation of religious
       institutions, and enact protections into place that protect the
       Freedom of Religion.
       --- End Quote ---
       Expansion of States Rights
       --- Quote ---
       > Currently States fear for the worst, "Are we going to be
       invaded because we didn't pay taxes? Because someone disagreed
       with us? Because they do not respect our rule of law?" These
       questions should not be asked in a free society, we should
       expand States Rights to protect from this distortion of power.

       Economic Expansion
       --- Quote ---
       > As it stands our newly appointed Financial Minister is a step
       in the right direction, the free market needs to be respected by
       all States in the Confederacy. It is also a shame that we remain
       so divided amongst ourselves, with the construction in my home
       state of rail-lines between Turkducken, the American Reich, and
       Appalachia, we aim to end this division amongst ourselves and
       unite for a better whole. One of my top priorities, is that on
       day one, I would ask Congress to vote on a bill to expand our
       criminally non-existent Inter-State Infrastructure.

       These are his Major Positions, any questions can be fielded
       here.

       Do you believe in a state's rights to nullify a law if it
       affects the state's way of living and culture as when Columbia
       refused to support a confederate police force and nuclear weapon
       laws?

       "I believe such things are conditional, I would respect
       nullification if it wasn't directly inferring with the
       Governments own point. Say if they tried to restrict your
       religious freedom, or unjustly tax you, that would be
       acceptable. I myself did not fully understand the reasoning
       behind Columbia's succession."

       "I would say I'm undecided, it's definitely an issue that's
       worth discussing, but how can Congress pass laws that people
       will ignore? Irregardless States Rights are not effected by the
       elected President, we have checks and balances for a reason."

       allowing a government to fire upon its own citizens?"

       could stop wars between states? What rights could we restrict

       "What is the candidate's opinion on devolving further power of
       the Central government to State governments. For example,
       stripping Congress's powers to enact laws on a regional level.
       Would he do so or would support an amendment that does?"

       extreme, and if it is the will of the people I will sign it."
