They say when you start a career it's better to start from the bottom and work your way through the ranks as you gain more experience in the role you wish to acquire, well I think of this as the same thing which is why I'm going for the position as a debutant so I can show people that I am here and that I hope to make a difference so please vote for me.

Hi this is my first time blogging ever on here and anywhere, I'd love to see the day when Asgardia post saying we are an officially recognised nation and the achievement of that will be amazing, I will strive to give my all to help Asgardia to become what it wants to become and maybe in my life time I will get to see the earth in whole with my own eyes.

Looking through the government ministry list I was surprised that there is no ministry specifically tasked with the colonisation of space. This is obviously a fundamental function of Asgardia and I would suggest that it needs its own ministry to co-ordinate the effort.  May I also suggest a ministry of the environment. Earth isn't dead yet and we should do all we can to help it's biosphere survive & Thrive. As well as nurturing off-world natural environments. I appreciate it's early days yet, and this is taken as a constructive suggestion. I appreciate the mammoth task of setting all this up.

The picture was generated using Jasc Paint Shop Pro from a photograph taken on the Luna surface during NASA's historic mission.  It is my hope that Asgardia not only matches this extraordinary feat of human ingenuity and fortitude but that we eventually surpass it. I have great confidence we will.

We as Asgardians must recognise the importance of net neutrality in relation to the planets shared Internet. It is a concept and ideal that has not only proved to be a very successful foundation to the establishment of a globally shared computer network but that also perfectly compliments our own ideals presented in the Constitution of Asgarida. I sincerely urge all Asgardian citizen to do what they can to support and defend the  principle of Net Neutrality and to join in with the effort currently underway to oppose changes to this principle.

Today (July 12th 2017)  In protest of the FCC's possible decision to abolish Net Neutrality, which would allow Internet Service Providers to slow service for content on the Internet and charge more at will for access at full broadband speeds 170+ companies have chosen to demonstrate what abolishing Net Neutrality would be like. In simple terms, things like Youtube and Spotify will cost a premium fee to be enjoyed at the speed you enjoy them today. This is tentatively being called "Blackout Day"

****You Can Make Your Voice Heard Too!****

With the help of several several people, a list of email addresses has been compiled of Companies and Governmental Agencies that are at the crux of the not only decision of whether or not Net Neutrality remains law, but also that we don't ever see U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May's Orwellian Fantasies of making the Internet "Big Brother" and Bombing Hackers realized. If you are unable to email, feel free to call your Representatives! This Operation was Intentionally Designed so that Everyone, No matter their Level of Technical Ability Can Participate!

On Earth your class and/or social circle determines your position in society.

In a space society we are all equal. Without everyone chipping in we're doomed.

The three stages of life

1 birth

2 What the f¿©k is this

3 Death

As a society we will work together.

everyone will have a place and no one will be more important than anyone else.

We'll have the best scenery out the window.

As this is a first for me, let me introduce myself- Daniel Jagla, English in origin, born & raised in the steel city of Sheffield.  I first heard about this on the IFLS web page & couldn't resist the opportunity to get my profile on the Asgardia satellite.  As i'm new to this i would like to ask those who are already citizens to give a little guidance as to what i should do next & here's to a better, more awesome future.

As a computer science student, A Vote for me is a Vote for the advancement of science and technology.

I believe that the government should not get in the way of science or scientific advancement and that the government does not have the right to interfere with The Peoples religious views or sexual orientation, I believe that all humans are created equal and i believe that we all have the right to believe what we want to believe, not only is a vote for me a vote for Technological and Scientific advancement it is also a vote for True Equality and Religious Freedom.

The reason I joined Asgardia is because I wanted to be part of a bigger community. I wanted to be involved with a group of people that just want to make things better for the many, and not the few. I have been involved with political parties here on earth, however they never truly resonated with me.

If you vote for me, I will do everything I can to make sure Asgardia is a nation you'd be proud to raise your children in. I want to make sure it's the closest, most active and friendliest nation that has ever existed, making sure the constitution is respected and followed at all times.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

My Fellow Asgardians.

I am writing this to humbly request your vote.

Throughout my life I have had a fascination with Space and mankind's place among the stars;

Our race is a fragile one, and yet despite the many challenges we've faced; we have managed to colonise the blue marble that we call home.

Our species is capable of massive destruction, and great torment, but we are not bound by this. We can work together, all of us, to create a world where we aren't seen by our descendants to be complacent and weak, where we come together as a species and mend the planet that we are in the process of destroying in the name of greed and hatred, and prove to them that we are capable of amazing things.

For this is the reason I became an Asgardian, to strive for change and progress, to encourage us all to take that first step towards a bright future where we can use our infinite potential to take our rightful place in the universe, to flourish and expand, to discover that which we could scarcely imagine and most importantly of all - to bring and end to the tyranny of petty squabbles amongst ourselves.

To that end, I seek your votes to help bring about those changes,

I am confident that together and only together is it possible for our dreams to be realised.

My passion, for the aforementioned reasons, will drive me to do whatever I can to do what is right by you all, and what is best for our future.

As an elected representative, I will work in the interests of Asgardia and humanity to achieve widespread health, hope, and happiness. Particular concerns include:

1) Environmental degradation (pollution, climate change, logging, etc.) as a result of poorly regulated business practices. A system of corporate capitalism has developed in which huge corporations subvert market dynamics to their own short-term profit motive at the expense of wider society. It is imperative to design an economic system to maximize human wellbeing and progress without promoting or entrenching inequality.

2) Overpopulation. The scalability of resource production on an orbital platform will be limited. Therefore, I would prioritize planning ahead regarding population dynamics and developing policies or educational tools to maintain the population size in step with resource availability (with an adequate safety margin). These thought processes also have applicability on Earth.

3) Energy production. Technical challenges currently prevent emigration from Earth. The path to overcoming these challenges is slowed by the limitations of our current energy production technologies. I would allocate resources to promoting the use of arising technologies (e.g., next-generation solar) as power sources on Earth and in Space.
