Salve, Citizens of Rome!                       Elections 2755 A.U.C.

I, Tiberius Galerius Paulinus, stand today in the shadow of those who have come before us and announce my candidacy for
the Office of Quaestor.   

I ask for your vote and support in this effort.  

The office, as you know, is one of trust, for it is entrusted with responsibility for the funds of our Republic. I ask you to
entrust me as one of the guardians of our treasury. In the macro world I have already served as treasurer of a number of
groups that I have been a member of over the years. For two years I  served as the national treasurer of one political group
(USA) and was responsible for  writing the budget and paying the bills. I was fully bonded (insured against theft) for the term
of that office. My platform is a simple one and if elected I will to the best of my ability discharge the duties of the office and
work to implement this platform.

Platform of Tiberius Galerius Paulinus candidate for Quaestor

 I. I will suggest that a new column be added to the Album Civium that would indicate weather or not a citizen has paid the
current and past years taxes. No points would be awarded for doing your civic duty but it would allow each citizen to know
who is and who is not investing in our future. We must encourage each and every citizen to pay his or her taxes so that when
the time comes we have the needed funds to pay for those thing we need.

II. I will propose that a "Grand Conclave" (for want of a better name), for all citizens,  be held in one of Nova Roma's
provinces every two /three years. This Grand Conclave will be a face to face meeting of the Republic.  The time and place of
the Grand Conclave would be announced long in advance so citizens can make long term plans to attend.  The  2758 Grand
Conclave would be announced in 2756  The Quaestor  of the Republic would work hand in hand with the Province , selected
as the site, to set up the least expensive event. This would include the hotel and  other venues that he "Grand Conclave"
would take place in as well as working on group rates for airfares to the site.

I will of course propose that the first Grand Conclave" take place in ROME.  I
envision that it could developed over the years as a Nova Roma version of cities competing for the modern Olympic games
with different provinces competing over who gets to host the event and in which years. Will this be easy NO , will it be worth
while YES! Forgive me for using this comparison but SI-FI conventions like Star Trek started out small and build into massive
conventions. I believe a Nova Roma Grand Conclave might start out small but will only get bigger and better as the years go
by. We need to increase our face to face meetings and not just on a Provincial basis.  
 Fortuna Favet Fortibus

III. I am currently researching the cost and feasibility of a Citizenship ring.  This ring could be purchased  by any citizen of
Nova Roma and would help to increase the funds in our treasury. We envision a gold (real or fake? both) ring with the SPQR
in the center and the Nova Roma wreath around it.

IV. I will work for the establishment of two special fund in our treasury.
 I, a Nova Roma Scholarship fund and 2, a disaster relief fund (our prayers go to our Italian Citizens who may have been
effective by the recent earthquakes and the destruction and death they brought).  Nova Roma needs to increase the publics
awareness of our goals and see us as a positive force in our respective macro-nations.

I stand ready and willing to serve our Res Publica



Vale

Tiberius Galerius Paulinus
Candidate for Quaestor and Candidate for Curator Differium (see other announcement)
