Hello fellow Asgardians!

I know that I have been a little out of touch and I'm sorry for that.  Life as we all know waits for no one, it just keeps moving along.  Here is my update.

I have moved to a new house and I'll be settling in for awhile.  The move is over but the unpacking has just started.  The timing of the sale of my old home and purchase of my new home caused me to miss my family reunion in the Colorado, United States.  I would have like to see all my family gathered together.  I'm going to take some time to visit for about 2 weeks starting on Thursday to visit family.

Parliament is still gearing up for the first online meeting now that the Committee Chair voting is done.  I ran unopposed for the Chair of the Information and Communication.  Don't worry I made sure to vote for myself so I'm sure I got at least one vote :)  There are many proposals that need to be considered by the Parliament.  One of the biggest ones is the citizenship fee.  It has be heatedly debated for almost 2 months.  We all understand that Asgardia needs some help getting started financially because the Head of Nation should not be expected to pay the bill for everything.  Where I stand on this is that 100 Euros a year is expensive, but not out of reach for many Asgardians.  If we as Asgardians want to be able to reach our goals we need to be willing to stand behind those goals.  My road map to the future is doable but we need the support of the citizens. I believe the citizenship fee should be ended in 3 to 5 years.  I have proposed (along with a few other Parliament Members) that we sell bonds to raise money to fund the government operations once we get Asgardia off the ground.  3 to 5 years should be enough to accomplish that. I'm curious to know what you all think, so please comment below.

That is about all I have for now.  When I return from my family visit thing are going to get really busy.  I will try to give you updates as things unfold.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

It seems that the website is working much better than it was.  That is good but the down side is now all of the unread messages are accessible.  I have missed the chance to connect with many people.

If you have sent me a message and didn't get a reply please send me another message and I'll reply.

These are exciting times we are living in.  So much is happening and we are very close to the beginning of the first meeting of parliament.

Hello Everyone!

Now that We have most of the Parliament filled (and another election coming) I would like to take this moment to address the Parliament Members.

Due to our need for:

★One central location for news and information (that's easy to find).

★Discussion Area to hash out matters.

(with translation in most languages)

★Share shedules and files (securely).

★take a poll/vote on topics.

I would like to invite all of the Parliament Members to join my LINE group.

All Asgardians are welcome to join my Asgardia group as well.

LOOK IN THE PHOTO For my LINE ID

---- I if you have read this far you are probably wondering what this has to do with censorship.

The above post had the comments turned off,  And when I posted again to have members go to my Asgardia Citizen Blog with the above photo it was deleted.

If you want the LINE information then please vist my Asgardia Citizen Blog.

The reason for this post is not to share my Blog page, it's to talk about censorship.  There is no reason why either of my post should have been deleted.  I was stopped from expressing myself while doing so in a calm manner.

It seems that I'm not the only Asgardian this has happened to on Facebook.

This behavior cannot be tolerated in Asgardia.  I am personally going to work to see that every Asgardian has a voice, even if what they are saying is unpopular.  Be expecting legislation on this topic in the First Session of Parliament.

Now with the elections over I would like to say congratulations to all of the Citizens who went through the long campaign.

As we move forward we must remember that this is the foundation future Asgardians will build their laws and policies on.  This foundation will take time to build up.  There are many very intelligent people who have chosen to give part of themselves to this monumental undertaking which will not be completed in one lifetime.  Democratic government is always changing to fit the people it serves.  If we are to build a solid foundation for this changing government we must work together as a team to achieve our goals.  Those who were elected and are approved by the head of our new nation will begin a path toward those goals.  Those who were not elected or for some reason or another did not make it through to becoming a Parliament Member will be need to support the new government.  There is plenty of work to be done. We need support in all areas from translation to government staff.  Every Asgardian who is willing to work will be able to find some way to contribute even if you are just reading and correcting text.  I would like to invite everyone to find something that matches your availability and not feel pressured to give more of yourself than you can.  It should not disrupt your family or work, nor should it cause you any unnecessary stress or hardship.

Again this is not a race.  It's more like building a canal system, by taking our time and doing it well we insure future Asgardians will have all the democratic freedom they need to grow into a strong and lasting nation.

We are heading into the last day of the election.  I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have voted for me and share you views on my platform.  I also want to thank all Asgardians for their participation in this long race to establish the Parliament of Asgardia.

I promise if I'm elected I'll do my best to guide Asgardia to the stars in a safe and responsible way.  I believe that each Parliament Member brings special skills with them to this the first sitting Parliament of Asgardia.  It's each Parliament Member's responsibility to chose the Committee that will allow them to severe Asgardia the best they can.  The Parliament as a whole must allow the Committees to do their work and not get pulled into the quagmire of meaningless debate on the floor.  At this time we Asgardians need a Parliament that will work in Committees to make recommendations for the necessary appointments, create the laws and policies in a timely manner to be brought before Parliament for approval.  This is the way to the future anything else will simply hold Asgardia back.

Let's move forward for all humanity.
