Citizen Secundus Quirinus Vitus;

The idea of different cohors in each provincia is an appealing one.
Some of the legions in the U.S. are following that idea, and I believe
such an action is presently under consideration in northern Europe.

However, The "central command" in Rome or wherever it is decided that it
will be, must begin to provide some information relating to what is
expected of these various cohors.

At the present time there are active legions the world over that do not
have NR Senate approval. From time to time one of these legions will
seek to affiliate with NR, but NR does not control the unit or seek in
any way to influence the unit outside of advice or other support offered
personally by citizens of NR.

At this time, I would say that the idea has merit, and you should go
ahead with your project, using the suggestions that I and others have
provided you earlier. As ProConsul of Nova Britannia, I offer my
support to begin to create in this province a Cohors of Pretoria should
anyone here be interested in beginning one. I personnally am a little
too to old and gimpy to put together a Pretoria Rig, but as ProConsul,
Senator, and Praefect Castorum of the Militarium, I support the idea.
Now all that is required is some information, guidelines, references,
procedures, and a lot of advertisement.

In closing, let me say that organizing, recruiting and providing
guidance for an organization such as you suggest is a tremendous amount
of work. I know that from my own experience as a commander of a
military unit, and I should imagine that Mathew Amt, and Shawn Richards
two Legion Commanders here in the U.S. would certainly agree with me.

Respectfully;
Marcus Minucius Audens

Fair Winds and Following Seas!!!

I share my sympathy for our cives in the Neteherlands. That republic is as
much a model macronation for our times as the Res Publica was a model for
antiqua. It is a shame that they have suffered their first political
assassination. Whatever the message of Mr. Fortuyn, the Netherlands is the
epitome of tolerance and liberty and it is a sad day when his opponents had
to counter with murder instead of reason.

this.

Article from Westside Gazette

Subject: FW: IMPORTANT

INCREASE IN POSTAGE AND CHARGE FOR EMAIL

Postage will go up the end of June 2002 from 34 cents to 37 cents. It will
be from 9% to 12% rate increase.

But this isn't all. No more free E-mail! We knew this was coming - Bill
602P will permit the Federal Government to charge a 5-cent charge on every
delivered E-mail.

Please read the following carefully if you intend to stay online and
continue using E-mail. The last few months have revealed an alarming trend
in the Government of the United States attempting to quietly push through
legislation that will affect our use of the Internet.

Under proposed legislation, the US Postal Service will be attempting to bill
E-mail users out of "alternative postage fees." Bill 602P will permit the
Federal Government to charge a 5-cent surcharge on every e-mail delivered,
by billing Internet Service Providers at source. The consumer would then be
billed in turn by the ISP.

Washington DC lawyer Richard Stepp is working without pay to prevent this
legislation from becoming law. The US Postal Service is claiming lost
revenue, due to the proliferation of E-mail, is costing nearly $230,000,000
in revenue per year. You may have noticed their recent ad campaign: "There
is nothing like a letter."

Since the average person received about 10 pieces of E-mail per day in 1998,
the cost of the typical individual would be an additional 50 cents a day or
over $180 per year -- above and beyond their regular Internet costs. Note
that this would be money paid directly to the US Postal Service for a
service they do not even provide. The whole point of the Internet is
democracy and noninterference. You are already paying an exorbitant price
for snail mail because of bureaucratic inefficiency.

It currently takes up to 6 days for a letter to be delivered from coast to
coast. If the US Postal Service is allowed to tinker with E-mail it will
mark the end of the "free" Internet in the United States. Congressional
representative, Tony Schnell (R) has even suggested a "$20-$40 per month
surcharge on all Internet service" above and beyond the governments proposed
E-mail charges. Note that most of the major newspapers have ignored the
story the only exception being the Washingtonian which called the idea of
E-mail surcharge "a useful concept who's time has come" (March 6th, 1999
Editorial).
Do not sit by and watch your freedom erode away!

Send this E-mail to EVERYONE on your list, and tell all your friends and
relatives to write their congressional representative and say "NO" to Bill
602P. It will only take a few moments of your time and could very well be
instrumental in killing a bill we do not want. PLEASE FORWARD!

Salve, Lucia Ambrosia Valeria

I would *LOVE* to see this implemented...no really, just LOVE it...as
neither the IPv4 nor the IPv6 protocol is designed to allow this kind of
watch being kept. I mean, how is some random middleman supposed to know
the data I'm transferring to my US friend is an e-mail or just him
downloading a pic from my server? Services like yahoo and so COULD
conceivably be forced to keep a tab on incoming mail to their users, but
there WOULD be free alternatives. In short, if this isn't a spam-hoax,
I'd be very surprised. If it isn't, just start using alternate mail
accounts, for instance foreign ones. Why pay for something you can have
for free? :)

Vale, Titus Octavius Pius.

Subject: [novaroma] CANDIDACY AS QUAESTOR
From: Manius Constantinus Serapio <mcserapio@yahoo.it>
Date: Tue, 7 May 2002 15:09:58 -0700 (PDT)
MANIVS CONSTANTINVS SERAPIO QVIRITIBVS S.P.D.

I come in front of the Gods, the Senate and the
people of Nova Roma today to officially present my
candidacy as Quaestor for the current year.

I did not take this decision lightly, but rather I
carefully considered it.
I know this is a particular circumstance: I am
running for an office left by an ex-citizen. So some
of you could ask why I didn't stand as a candidate
when it was the right period, that is to say last
december. I will answer later to this question.
First of all, let me tell you something about Manius
Constantinus.

My name is Simone Lattes, I am italian and live in
Turin, a roman castra whose name was Augusta
Taurinorum.
I am a musician and I am still studying music (since
we have always something new to learn!). In particular
I am a composer and conductor.
Could an artist (if we want to call me in this way)
have the required pragmatism to carry out the task of
a magistrate? Oh! You will certainly understand that a
conductor must have a lot of pragmatism, capacity of
coordinating, capacity of having control of the
situation, orderliness, and above all a very great
scrupolosity, an essential element in my job to obtain
always the best result!

My grandfather, a very learned man, an intellectual,
a painter and writer with philosophical inclinations,
taught me the love for what we call "Roman Virtues",
like simplicity, probity, unselfishness, generosity,
sense of duty, respect, gratefulness. But he was also
the owner of a publishing house, through wich he
taught me not to waste money.

However, maybe the most important thing my
grandfather gave me is the love of my Fatherland, my
Flag, my Anthem.
So, now you can understand why I didn't run for this
office last december: I was with my Fatherland's army,
working in Afghanistan and other countries with
american and british soldiers for our freedom.
And do you want to know why I am so proud? Because I
feel that Nova Roma is my Fatherland as much as Italy,
and I do my best as in Nova Roma as in my family, my
job, my army!
I am sure you can understand this feeling, because we
all see in our Res Publica the heir of that ineffable
world that was Rome!

Quirites, perhaps you don't see me a lot on this
mailing list. I can assure you that it doesn't mean I
am "not so active"! I think you can ask around to see
my dedication to Nova Roma.
With Franciscus Apulus Caesar and Gaius Quirinus
Italicus I took part to the regeneration of Provincia
Italia (and you can see our results today!).
Now I am Legatus Externis Rebus of my Provincia and
I have to deal with a lot of important matters. To
give you an idea, I tell you that I am conducting a
programm on a provincial scale to contact all italic
inactive citizens through a 3-step plan (e-mail,
letter, telephone call; please, don't think we break
people's privacy! If you want more informations,
please contact me).
I also have to deal with the promotion of Provincia
Italia in Italy, with the "search" for new potential
citizens, their welcome and their introduction in the
active life of Provincia Italia and Nova Roma.

I also work in the Sodalitas Egressus as Dominus
Praefectus. In particular I am Dominus Praefectus for
Italy and Eastern Europe and acting Praefectus for
North Africa.
As Dominus Praefectus I promote and "advertize" Nova
Roma in my areas of action (you can already read some
reviews of Nova Roma on several italian sites). I
write reports on archaeological subjects. I am now
completing a long detailed report about the roman
influence and power in North Africa, and in particular
in Libya.

I think you understood what my activity consists of,
and I don't want to bore you more adding other
informations to this long message.

However, if anybody wants to know more I am
available privately or here too.

The problem of writing a lot is that some of you
could have forgotten the reason of this harangue, that
is the presentation of my candidacy as Quaestor!
Joking apart, if you think I could be fit for
holding this office, please, support me in this
election.
If you don't think I could be a good Quaestor,
please, read again this message at least: I took some
hours trying to write it in an accettable good
english!

DII VOS BENE AMENT
OPTIME VALETE OMNES
