Fleming Making Plans to Resign?
New Gettysburg, Tarsonis/NMCC - General Fleming/TC-GenFlem is surrounded by rumors of resignation as Commander in Chief. These rumors come from an anonymous government official within the Confederacy. Rumor says that Fleming has no more time for battle.net nor the Terran Confederacy, and that in the interest of keeping things prosperous and making sure all high ranks are actively participating in the Confederacy, so he will most likely be resigning by September 1, 2000. Fleming refuses to comment on the issue and has acted quite hostile when asked of the validity of this rumor.

"What have they done that has greatly benefited the Terran Confederacy" was Talmak's main statement as thousands cheered for the former senator and President. Governor Talmak promised stiff competition for all offices from the Terran Party and hopes that General Gordo will consider running again. "The polls were bad for both sides that day. Gordo would have won if the voter turnout was better." Talmak told CNN. Gordo had only 30% of votes received but the oter turnout was whats General Fleming called "pitiful and unfortunate for the all the work that both candidates had put into this." Gordo has not mentioned whether he considers running for President or any other political position once more.

CNN Charter Running Out
New Gettysburg, Tarsonis - The Confederate News Network may be offline for a few days as it's charter with the Terran Confederacy runs out on October 1, 2000. The charter has been in affect since Auaugst of 2000. The charter made CNN the primarily news producing industry of the Confederacy and prohibited and further news agencies to be granted charters. CNN is planning on beginning negotiations early with new Confederate President McCloud but odds are the Senate, which wants to encourage news competition, will allow certain policies which protected CNN as the Confederacy's primary network. CNN is looking to appoint a spokesman/spokeswoman within the next two weeks. If you are interested please contact us at AdmiralChip@juno.com or on AIM (AdmiralChip). We are looking for someone with previous history with Confederate laws and the legal system who is not affiliated with the government. The original charter ran out on August 31, 2000 but General Fleming granted a one month extension as allowed under the charter policy.
