Salvete,

(This multitude looking me at the Rostra and my poor rethoric make me afraid of my words. From this tribune, may I  tell you
Iīm nervous? ... may the muse Polimnia come on my aid!)  

Citizens, after long time thinking about, I hereby humbly declare my candidacy for the position of Quaestor. 

Why?

We have long time discussing on the main list and Senate about the taxes. As a questor from a country affected by these
(and in great need of these)  changes, I have pretty confidence that I can make real the increasing of Assidui citizens a
reality by the application of this very good Senateīs proposal of tax variation. And you can be sure that I do support anyone
that support this very good proposal (I will not say names, because I can easy forget someone!). My candidacy is not a
simple way to start the Cursus Honorum as many others, but itīs deeply attached to the spirit of the questorship. I will be the
right hand of the Senate on this matter.  

I worked long time on the Provincial level gathering people to Nova Roma on that time as the organization of the Temple of
Concordia. But what gave me confidence to run for anything was the work of Interpreter. You can see the revolution started
in Nova Roma by the Decuria of Interpreters and the great work done by me and the very good team of translators. This job,
and this oportunity the Senate has given me, I didnīt fail, and the lonely and silent work of Portuguese translator was done...
there still much to do, but this job has already showed its value, as the many brazilians that entered NR since the pages was
translated.

I have just one proposal, a LARGE proposal:  The increasing on citizens from all world. On this work of Hercules, you, from
America to Europe, can be sure: This is my flag and my main objective. 

Citizens, besides in all my NR life I worked with words, I will not show you words on a thousand proposals! My silent job can
prove you my dedication to the res Publica. I already did it on the language, now letīs work on taxes. I adress to all Gods my
calling, to the provincial worshipped Concordia, Pax et Salus, to queen Minerva, father Mars and supplier Vulcanus, to the
unknown Gods of religious respect for each sincere personal beliefs, to king Mercurius, patron of the Interpreters, and Juno
Moneta of the taxes, with them as my witness, I officially wear the most white toga on the Forum, kiss all the babies and
shake your hands. (Oh, citizens, do not mock me! Iīve just out of the biggest elections of History where on the province,
politics are on the eyes!)

On my office you can see all my works: http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/lafaustus/index.html
And also take a look on the Temple of Concordia:

Finishing (uff!) I ask votes from all citizens, USA, Europe, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, all Latin America, Asia, everyone...
You all know the diplomacy and dedication that citizens of gens Arminia are known. My proposal and objectives are very
solid. Remember, Arminius Faustus for quaestor!
