During the last week I've noticed no postings from our esteemed Consul Cassius... Is he OK? Is any help needed for the setup of the elections?

There is an error. I'm candidate to Plebeian Aedile. I'm a plebeian.

LOL! I've been in the live chat a few evenings this week, Graecus, and have
been available through Email as well. The only reason I haven't been posting
to the board is that I've been working longer hours lately and have a little
less computer time right now!

The setup for the elections is doing fine. The Voter Codes have been assigned,
and every Citizen is being mailed a special issue of "The Eagle" which is
covering the elections. There will be information about every candidate
included, and there will even be a mail-in ballot for those folks who can't
use the voting page up on the site.

One thing... if you don't already subscribe to "The Eagle", please do NOT
judge it by this special issue! Usually it's a wonderful full-color
publication... this time it's just going to be a black and white photocopied
version so that the election deadlines could be met. If you'd like to see a
sample issue in the usual format please send a SASE to the Nova Roma P.O. box.

Vale,

Marcus Cassius Julianus
Consul

He DID, and I have his candidate's statement for the Eagle.
My apologies to Scaevola and to Graecus, who is running for PLEBEIAN aedile.

One of the reasons I posted the list here is to get any corrections before
the Eagle is printed this week. Thanks, all.

Then you must have missed the fact that Rusticus, our very own Pimpus Pater (Pimp
Daddy), Human Resources Director and founded of Nova Roma's first Virtual House
of Pleasure and Latin Studies, he who drives the pink Chariot deVille with the
leopard upholstery, he of the flashy silk togae, he who has added a line of
Gladiators to cater to the Bored Matronae trade, has volunteered to teach the
Consular candidates his famous "Pimp Walk" so that we'll look good coming to the
Rostra to give our speeches. Ah, what wondrous changes have been wrought in
Rusticus, formerly a simple, hardworking farm boy from Latium! Talk about coming
to the big city and making good.

And there's no basis to the rumor that Pythia is going to sell him gold jewelry at
a special "by-the-pound" price. One more gold chain would break his neck!

Subject:	Bread and Circuses
From:	Nodigio@--------
Date:	Wed, 18 Nov 1998 10:04:07 EST

I've done a little research, and what I've discovered should make
anyone think twice....

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming
households score below average on standardized tests.

3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in
the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years;
infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died
in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and
influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within
24 hours of eating bread.
5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been
proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to
suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than
that in one month!

6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low
incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and
osteoporosis.

7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of
bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as
little as two days.

8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to
"harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even
cold cuts.

9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is
more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could
lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food
product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees
Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less
than one minute.

12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish
between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical
babbling.
In light of these frightening statistics, we propose the following
bread restrictions:

1. No sale of bread to minors.

2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity
TV spots and bumper stickers.

3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the
societal ills we might associate with bread.

4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may
appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.

5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

Please send this e-mail on to everyone you know who cares about this
crucial issue.

Remember: Think idiotically, act globally!

SFZ - the Breadlover!

Thank you and I promise to send an extra buck to the treasury to help with

Salve,

Once again, the Voter Codes are being surface-mailed to each Citizen in this
issue of The Eagle. Your voter code will appear on your mailing label... and I
believe that it will also be written inside as well. (Flavia's gonna kill me
if I've gotten that bit wrong!)
No voter codes have been sent by Email.

a learn at your own pace Latin course with interactive computer media and live

This is an endorsement of Lucius Equitius Cincinatus for the office of Consul.
Equitius is also a human being. During this past year I've experienced his temper, his opinions and (the Gods spare us) his sense of humor.

Thank you for the most excellent endorsement! You have single-handedly breathed life into my campaign. May I post it to the Message board and otherwise use it? Thanks again you have truely honored me.
