OOC: Sorry for the time delay, but here it is guys!!!
IC: King Aragorn was ready to give his speech at the Minas
Tirith City Hall. He saw reporters out in the audience and knew
that this speech was surely going to make waves in the national
news media. Aragorn was donning a three-piece suit with a black
coat, black slacks, and a silver vest. His shirt was red, and
his tie was a striped red and silver to complement the rest of
the outfit. The King mosied over to the podium, took a sip of
water, cleared his throat and began to speak.

> "Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press, my fellow Gondorians, and
NCSA citizens abroad, I come before you today to speak on the
upcoming presidential election. I firmly believe that this
election will be a turning point in NeoConfederate History, but
whether it shall be for good or ill I know not. For too long has
this nation been eating itself alive, mainly due to the argument
of State's rights vs big, centralized government. We had two
Columbian Secessions, and the state of Sparta seceded for a
short time before coming to their senses. The secessionists feel
as our founding fathers did in 1861. They believe that State
sovereignty has been eroded to such a point that this
Confederacy is no longer a viable nation. I disagree, but I do
believe that there is a way to prevent more internal strife from
ever happening again, save for a terrorist state. What this
country desperately needs is a leader who will understand the
Constitutional balance between what the rights of a state are,
and what the power of the Confederal Government is. The NCSA
doesn't need a president who forces states to build things that
they don't wish to, such as interstates, railroads, and
airports! A State has the right to say what is and what isn't
built within their sovereign lands. We must allow States to
choose their own paths, and trade with each other as they
please. Even if the New Constitution passes, the same rules
still apply. We must all remember that the Confederate
Government derives its power from the states, and that they are
sovereign, each guaranteed a government of its choosing. On the
Converse, the Confederate Government should have some necessary
powers, but they need serious defining. The incoming president
needs to understand that the biggest issue is the National
Military. We need comprehensive legislation pushed for by a
leader. That legislation must regulate the way the
NeoConfederate Military may go about its business, especially
when dealing with under what grounds they may enter a State,
with or without its consent. What also needs to be talked about
is the issue of warrants. Is a warrant needed for the CBI to
enter a state and simply investigate a possible national
offence? What the answer to that is could be up to the Supreme
Court in the end, but we need a President who is not afraid to
enforce the laws of this nation. Nullification must also be
dealt with, and a simple action of a Presidential Administration
could be to file a lawsuit to see of Nullification is
Constitutional or not. We need a President who will deliver on
all their promises, and find a middle ground to all the
aforementioned issues. It is therefore that I offer no
endorsement to any party or candidate, but simply hope for a
bipartisan president who can get things done without gridlock
and animosity towards those they disagree with. The
NeoConfederate States of America need an honest president who
will actively seek out and find solutions to our nation's most
pressing problems. Thank you all for your time, and I will now
be taking any questions that the media may have."

King Aragorn stood a the podium, grinning from ear to ear, and
expectantly awaiting the barrage of questions that was to come.
