=Speaker Radosta's Speech=

My fellow members of Congress, I stand here today to ask you some simple questions: do you want to get things done? Do you, as a congresswoman in the House of Representatives, want to get bills passed to please your constituents? Do you want to have a successful session? These are all legitimate questions you should be asking yourself when deciding who to elect as the Speaker of the House, and I am here to answer those questions for you. As Speaker, I would dedicate my time to passing legislation befitting both ends of the spectrum. The last thing I want to do is further the widening gap between our two parties. I feel like we can work together as //one// House, as //one// Congress, as //one// entity, to pass the laws that need to be passed. I, myself, am in the midst of penning a bipartisan bill with one of my Republican colleagues; this is exactly the kind of interaction I want to see brought to the entire floor of Congress. If elected as Speaker, I will dedicate myself to mediating the two sides of the House. I feel like I, more than anyone, am the person to do this because I can sympathize with both parties, but at the same time have no problems retaining my impartiality when the situation demands it. I, more so than anyone, can effectively bridge the gap between the parties, and appeal to people on both sides of the fence. Yes, I am a Democrat, but I also respect that many conservatives have ideas to contribute that are worth being heard. I will make it my policy to bring us as close to one another as I can while still retaining our party unity. Remember, //one// House, //one// Congress, //one// vote for Stella.
