Cenian Christmas Poems
The Season of Joy and Happiness
Crinkling and ripping,
Tissue paper flying,
Red bows and Christmas paper
Bags full of goodies
Presents fly into the air.
Astonished gasps and thank-yous
Your welcomes, and hugs too
Presents again fly at Christmas
The season of joy and happiness
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
Your lights bright and shining
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How many presents under you
You are so green and sparkling
-Tanner Phillips
The Christmas Cat
Miss Nesse, Miss Nesse
Looking out the window
Sunning in the breeze
Cooling herself
She is cute
The epitome
Of the perfect cat
Who likes to sit in your lap
Gone, now
To visit her roundhouse
Where she’ll be snuggly and warm
Where she’ll be snuggly and warm
In the company of people
-Italia Nessia

23 December 2012
Week of 12/22 Presidential and Prime Ministerial Races
Presidential Activity
Kyn Tucin campaigned in his home sector, Cenaci, on 12/17, rallying support for his increasingly challenged Cenian Social Liberal Party. He touted his years of service in Cenian government and his part in a fair constitution. He also touted his very liberal position about minimum wage. His party supports raising the minimum wage to $20 an hour.
Desnol Binill also campaigned in the Cenaci sector on the 17th, especially on his home planet, Illirea, and Doru Areaba. He introduced a new plank in his platform, calling for increased public transportation and increased government spending on transportation. The Democratic Socialist Party has lots to gain in this heavy liberal sector.
On the next day, Desnol Binill campaigned on Cenaci, telling about his plans for better working conditions, more affordable housing, and higher minimum wages. His party also touts a $20 minimum wage.
Tatek Representative Cara Crantat campaigned in Afrogug on traditional family values, promising the repeal of the Gay Rights Act that had been passed centuries ago. She promised support "for the home and the hearth" if elected president.
Her Vice Presidential nominee, Davet Laraud, campaigned in Pikadora and surrounding planets, saying that he kept conservative values alive in his tenure as a talk show host and promised support for agrarian farmers in that area.
Insit Inskra of Ber has been campaigning in his home sector of Ber, touting moderate values and touching the hearts and spirits of the Bers there. He asked for a term as President to make the economy grow and promised higher minimum wages, although not as high as the CSLP and DSP suggest. He promised to put less government regulation on services, manufacturing, and retail.
Nikita Collensburn of the widely disparaged Cenian Nationalist Party demonized Kyn Tucin in leaning Waterloo sectors. He promised to declare war on Waterloo and snap up territory. He also promised to put a nationalist agenda.
A footnote this year, Pablo Diez campaigned in Mesa Verde to remember the values of Mesa Verdeans this election cycle. But his base in Mesa Verde is not likely to go farther then Mesa Verdean expatriates.
Prime Ministerial Activity
Shadow B'betsy campaigned at the Katinal International Starport on her home of Katinal. She promised to speed up starport development if elected and clean up hyperspace lanes. She also campaigned to spend more on research and development.
Her Deputy Prime Minister candidate, Lando Calpandian, was touting his government service in heavily contested As Lan, trying to win over undecided voters. He also raised the issue of poverty, which affects As Lan. He promised to help people get out of poverty and to make housing more affordable.
An increasingly desperate Kartot Tarat of the Cenian Conservative Party campaigned in small Aurea Simia Nebula, rallying conservative support in the sparsely populated area east of liberal bastion Aurea Simia. He touted his years of government service and perseverance in vying for the nation's top job.
Sern Aelar of Kitigarg campaigned on his party's platform in Criter this week. He also touted his moderate values and his deregulation stance, and increased funding for the arts.
What Will Happen Next
Desnol Binnill is making a trip to Elephanthia after Christmas to tout his public transportation plans and increased funding for the arts.
Kyn Tucin is planning on visiting Acta Diurna.

The Week in Review Introduction
This is the first post in my series of reviews about the upcoming presidential, prime ministerial, and congressional elections. These posts will detail WHERE and WHEN the candidates visit, WHAT they said there, WHY they went there, and much more. So here goes!
First you should know the swing sectors. In these sectors, the Senator changed seats, reflecting a new party tide. However, since Ceni has a nationwide range voting system, these sectors are not as important as they are in an Electoral College system like the United States. Candidates are more motivated to go to more populous sectors where they can pick up votes.

First you should know the swing sectors. In these sectors, the Senator changed seats, reflecting a new party tide. However, since Ceni has a nationwide range voting system, these sectors are not as important as they are in an Electoral College system like the United States. Candidates are more motivated to go to more populous sectors where they can pick up votes.
The swing sectors are:
- Afrogug
- As Lan
- Aurea Simia Nebula
- Cenac
- Criter
- Etaronk
- Gastro
- Grusgy
- Kroyale
- Madia
- Madia's Cauldron
- Marias Pass
- Masterro
- Mon
- Navi
- New Nabnatah
- Pikadora
- Pisee I
- Praristna
- Pyrhhia
- Rap
- Sam'ina'min
- Serenat
- Sharsha Morana
- Shigon
- Skulblaka
- Skywalker
- Ursycon
- Utorcaea
- Yapatu
- Zmit V
- Duolon
- Chirdayo
- Rabaul
However, most of these sectors are small. The parties are not interested in going to these sectors for the big ticket races. Instead, in trying to get control of the Cenian Assembly, they will visit these sectors with their Bewlegi to try and win the Senate races there.
Our Week in Review posts will be stratified into several different posts. One will cover the Presidential and Prime Ministerial elections. Another will cover Senatorial elections and District competitions. The last will be about campaign spending and donations. See you in this week's Week in Review posts!
