Also first question, since this is a role play do we play as ourselves, make someone up, or maybe pick a real life politician/political personality?

 New England Delegation Sarah O'Malley, Civil Rights Lawyer from Boston, representative of the delegation *wipes blood off chin* Well alright! That was a real brawl! Let's get down to business. In order to represent the New England delegation best we have come to these 5 points we wish to address at this convention. We're still accepting requests from the people, because this is all for you, just tweet them with hashtag #NEdelegation2016 or join the live feed on Youtube! 1.First past the post voting Lets get rid of it. Combination of this and gerrymandering has lead to a country where people have to choose 1 of 2 parties, it's no choice at all. We propose an alternative system where the number of representatives remains the same but instead, they will consist of an approximate breakdown of the voter's choices for party representation, senate will remain as-is. We're also open to alternative options. 2.LGBT right New England has lead the country in LGBT rights. Massachusetts was the first state to allow same-sex marriage, and Vermont was the first to allow civil unions. Today, while same-sex marriage is allowed in all 50 states, many are not protected in their home or job because of who they love. We propose an amendment that would offer protections to those based on their sexual orientation or gender identity, same as any other hard working american citizen. 3.Vaccinations Vaccinations are becoming a heated debate in the US. Many are against it, but those ones put our children at risk. We propose an amendment requiring all citizens and permanent residents to be vaccinated according to standards set by congress. 4.The Second Amendment Every day we hear more about gun violence in this country and organizations like the NRA continue to stonewall our progress because the 2nd amendment guarantees their right to bear arms, through some vaguely worded sense of entitlement. If we wish to make progress on the violence in our country, we must revoke this amendment! 5.Preserving the Amendments Now, this may seem a paradoxical decision given point #4 but everyone is talking about what to add, but what should we protect? Most of the amendments in our constitute have protected us from several grievious mistakes of our ancestors and we want to make sure they are otherwise kept in place. It's not a glorious agenda but it's important nonetheless. The floor is open to any citizen of New England who wishes to suggest improvements, or more pressing matters than the ones we have presented.

Delegate Sarah O'Malley, New England The reality is a militia in this day and age is an archaic construction. At the time of our founding fathers your average musket wielder could stand up to a government, given enough people and the right tactics. Today? In the event of a ground invasion on US territory, your average militia would do more harm than good. Our trained, federal army would do far better good in such a situation.
