The Franklin Times -
The election has just taken an interesting turn (to the right). A day following the beginning of a RVA ad assault on the liberal parties, the Free Conservatives have launched a media blitz. Unveiling a series of policy stances from the war to the environment the FCP has given voice to the long silent conservative movement. Paul Thorn, a political analyst, described this development, "The Free Conservatives have unveiled a well coordinated publicity blitz clearly designed to raise their name recognition and voter support. It is too early to see how this will translate in the polls, but coming off the heels of the RVA ad buy one is to wonder if this was a well coordinated strategy to let the liberal parties expose themselves to an attack from the right." While polling results will not be known right away the move has already had an impact. David Howard, leader of the FCC, announced in a late afternoon press conference that with the emergence of the FCP he will not pursue an electoral campaign of his own. Instead Howard stated that he will, "work with all my ability and resources to elect conservative candidates to the National Assembly." He was also quick to note, "It is far too early for the FCC to endorse the Free Conservatives but while their delayed emergence is worrisome it is a welcome change in this election campaign." At the end of the announcement Howard extended an invitation to meet and discuss the campaign with the Free Conservative Leader, Mr. Brent Sexton.

Liberal allies are growing restless. It is becoming clear that the NWU and the FWA were unprepared for the RVA ad buy. These two unions, together representing 22% of Franklin's work force, clearly are still learning the electoral game. In an afternoon press conference, NWU deputy President Andrew St. Clair, denounced the RVA ad as factually and intellectually dishonest. He urged the parties to respond quickly to the ad to counteract its potential effect with voters. He also announced that the NWU was considering putting up ads to aid those parties that support the union workers and the unFranklin like practice of outsourcing.

The Liberal Rights Party, along with the entire left side of the spectrum will not tolerate this slander being brought against us. Yes, it is true that the Free Conservatives have made a boost in the polls, but that doesn't mean the RVA has the right to say untrue things about are party.
Although, we are not saying that we want the competition from the right side. We are glad that the conservative side is making a jump.
The RVA is just a newly formed union that barely has the grasp of our politics and brings about rumors that aren't true. The Liberal Rights Party stongly dicourages voters to not believe the false facts coming from the RVA.
The CAT party strongly believes that there should be no slander in our campaign. We do not believe it follows the morals that represent our country. We believe that the general assembly should make a law disallowing slander at all times in election campaigns. We people people should get elected by their merit on issues not because the other opponent had lies told about them.
Brent Sexton of the Free Conservatists agrees to meet with the FCC, but does not say that he agrees with everything of from the FCC or will acept their endorsement. He merely states that he will agree to meet with Howard and disscuss politics. The party leader does say that he is happy with the sudden turn to the right and his party will continue to work hard to bring the people what they want and the results they need.
