In the weeks before I was elected Delegate of The North Pacific, many of us have watched with increasing concern as a self-appointed group has seized control of the judiciary, taken control of the Regional Assembly, and imported new residents who have little connection with and hold little value in the longstanding democratic traditions and principles of this, our home region.
They call themselves merely a political party. But if one pays attention to history, and particularly history here, that gives rise to a sense of foreboding, an atmosphere of skepticism, and a feeling that all is not what it seems with the so-called Progressive Party of The North Pacific.
Many elements of the proposals they have so far laid before the regional community would deprive most of the resident nations of The North Pacific of their hard fought and hard won rights and liberties, deprive them of a voice in the government of the region, and reduce their democratic system into an autocratic regime in which dissent would not be tolerated because the only point of view that would be tolerated would be that of the so-called PPTNP. They would take away the basic laws that bound all our officials by oath to protect our governing documents, our regional flag, and our regional holidays by which we honor our history and those who fought for us throughout our history as a democratic society.
The recent draft of the rules they propose to use for a constituent assembly located far away from the community's home forums is yet another cause for great concern. These forums weren't picked by some small group; their founding were the result of a vote of the entire TNP community that participated a few months previously in the Great Constitutional Convention of 2005.
Their unwillingness to disclose what it is they would have TNP become is likewise of great concern. They complain about the weaknesses in the current Constitution and they make other complaints about how they think it is such an impossible document that it is better to sweep away all our laws and all our traditions for that like a region alien to many of us and who, in the past waged war against our home region?
During these past several weeks many have watched this group proceed on his hidden agenda that they refuse to admit. But as much as many of us distrust political parties, given how such institutions were abused by tyrants such as Cathyy and Insane Power during the Pixiedance dictatorship, we do need a counterweight to this emerging hegemony that would destroy a true democracy resident in The North Pacific.
I have participated in many of the battles that brought constitutional democracy and freedom to The North Pacific. Being elected and serving as Delegate is the last honor I have planned to seek, and will ever seek from my fellow citizens of The North Pacific. But it would betray everything I believe in and have fought for, to stand by and watch those whose conduct and goals appears inconsistent with the proud and democratic traditions of The North Pacific destroy those values for their own profit and benefit.
If you are a resident of The North Pacific, if you cherish your hard-won democracy and freedoms with a government bound to protect your rights and liberties preserved in the Bill of Rights, and if you want to perfect your government through the voice of the government and not by a clique of partisans who seek to subvert democracy and freedoms, this is the time, this is the place, to come together, to organize and to be heard in the defense of a democratic The North Pacific. We need to confederate ourselves to this.common purpose, and we must do so now.
