Rally Weekend

The Franklin Times -

It was clear this weekend that the campaign is in full gear. On Saturday and Sunday, political rallies were held throughout the country. In these two days alone, at total of 31 rallies were held. Furthermore, it was clear that the campaign was reaching all parts of the nation, as at least one rally was held in each of the 13 states. The CAT Party was the most aggressive, holding a rally in each state. While some consider such events old fashioned, rallies provide an essential tool for political parties. These events energize the party faithful, increase voter awareness, and often lead to positive media coverage. The States of Conover and Irondequiot were specifically targeted. In each, four different party rallies were held over the weekend. Massive crowds filled capital squares throughout these states to listen to party speeches or to catch a glimpse of party leaders. In the capital of Conover, over 35,000 people gathered in the Royal Square to listen to the four simultaneous rallies of the Manisrits, M.O.R., CAT, and Liberal States Parties. Mayor Ian Vanton explained the city's decision to hold the rallies together. "What better way for voters to compare and contrast the party positions than to participate in one massive rally? This was a great day for Franklin and democracy." While the rally attendances varied, the high turnouts reflected voter interest in the upcoming election. "This weekend demonstrated that Franklin voters are listening and actively engaged in this election," explain John Warner, a political analyst. He noted the impressive turnout in Conover and cited the 10,000 attendance figure at a FCP Rally in mostly rural Bennett as evidence of high voter interest.

The CAT Party believes we must reach out to every voter. No matter of how they view things everyone should at least see our policies and see if they believe them to see if we can do the job. We hope with the party agressively trying to get peoples votes that we will change some perceptions of our party and that people will consider voting for us. We were happy to face the M.O.R., Liberal states party, and the Manisrits parties at the rally in Conover.

We want to reach not only conservatives or democrats but everyone. Although you might not always agree with us on issues we hope you at least feel safe and secure if we were in charge.

First of all, we, of the FCP, would like to thank everyone for their support at the rally. The turnout was wonderful and we are hoping that we can appeal more to other voters to gain their support and their trust. Our party is planning on releasing campaign ads to reach to others and have our name out in the public and well known. Once again we thank the citizens of Franklin States of America and hope to see our faithful supporters and more people at our future campaign rallies.

The MOR Party was honored to participate in a rally alongside the CAT, LSP, and Maniscrits parties. We were thrilled with the turnout and impressed with the mayor's initiative to bring parties together.

We also want to congratulate the FCP on the amount of interest their rally produced. We respect that the FCP is inspiring so many people to get involved in the political process.
