Candidate #1: KnightOfElabor (KoE)
*taps mic*
Hey everyone... thanks coming out to see me...
*takes a deep breath*
Today, I want to go back to the basics. Back to the single most basic right of human kind, Freedom. I feel like many people, especially in our generation, take Freedom for granted. We hang out with our friends, go to church, express our opinion, choose what we want to eat for breakfast, and build stuff with virtual interlocking bricks never stopping to think about why we can do all that stuff. The men and women who came before us and gave everything so we could live in the world we do today.
I also feel like lots of people misunderstand Freedom. Freedom is not just doing whatever you want. we HAVE TO have laws, and people who enforce those laws, to truly enjoy Freedom. Otherwise it would be chaos. I'm sad people don't seem to get that any more.
Freedom is under attack in so many ways. Why? Because we are ignorant of what Freedom is and those who defended it.
You have the Freedom to build whatever you want, express your opinion (even if it offends some people), create renders without them being taken down, Ruthlessly Obliterate Birds. As president, I am here to serve you, not rule you. I'm not here to give you free stuff either. I'm here to lead you to Freedom.
You may ask, "what freedom is being taken from us?" Look around you. I'm sure you can find examples, no matter where you look or where you live.
My ultimate goal is to inspire you to stand up for Freedom. Freedom for yourself or for the Freedom of others.
To close, I'd like to give a quote from my favorite superhero (right behind Spider-Man), Captain America:
"The price of Freedom is high.
It always has been.
And it's a price I'm willing to pay.
And if I'm the only one, then so be it.
But I'm willing to bet I'm not."

*walks up on stage, and looks at my tech crew*
Um… if it’s not too much trouble, could we turn the green flames on. I know they’ve been a hassle, but I put a lot of thought into making them… and, well, yeah I know it’s just for show but… do you think you guys could turn them on.
*hears a muffled yell from the back of the room*
What? Oh… they are causing you more trouble than you thought. Well, thats ok, you can just leave them… oh, and there they go. Ok, thanks guys, you're the best. Anyways,
*looks sheepishly at the snickering crowd*
Ok, sorry about that, but, you see, I really like green fire. Anyways, thanks so much for coming and listening to my digital speech. If you are like me, I am guessing you are having your computer read this to you, right? Eh, probably not, but oh well.
So, what am I here to address? Well, laying aside the topics of computers and colored fire, let's consider the one thing that allows us to be here today; our freedom. Freedom is a marvelous gift, and its results are mind blowing. Because of freedom, not only have we enjoyed our lives beyond the dream of many, but our ability and ease to do so has skyrocketed. As men and women are free to invent, teach, sing, work, and just live, life moves on in an abounding flow of joy and beauty. However, freedom isn’t loved by all. There are some in this world, and by far too many, who, with their cunning and silently persuasive schemes, trick our minds into letting our freedom go. They present evil in ways so small and subtle that we don’t think our pleasures, comforts, and interest are worth giving up just because of it. However, that one remnant of evil remains, and grows, and with its growth more remnants are produced, each one larger than the last. Suddenly we find ourselves in a world of blackness. History is rewritten, monuments are torn down, and freedom is redefined. Until the end of the ages, we will never be completely free from evil, and in the words of Edmund Burke, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Good men, and women, have been doing nothing. Just look at our world and the growing darkness that stains the hearts of nations. If has grown so much, that If we don’t accept that evil, we are accused of hate and intolerance. Even in lands where the freedom of speech is written into its very soul. What are we to do with all this? We should fight. Why not? Why don’t we stand against evil and oppression, openly opposing those who support it. Evil is cowardly, and if we would only take a stand it would back down. Evil needs us to slack off in order to thrive, and that is exactly what we are doing. So I challenge you to stop just doing nothing, even if Winnie the Pooh disagrees. If its evil and destructive, stand against it. Don’t believe the contradictions of the news and the lies of celebrities, which so many wishy washy individuals are accepting; instead, do your own research to find out what is really truth, and once you find it, fight for it. Freedom comes at a price, and the longer we wait, the larger that price becomes.
Also,
*looks at my watch and gives a low whistle*
I know that I’m a bit over my time, but one last thing. Make beauty, true beauty. One of the things that darkness loves, and uses, is twisted beauty. For example, look at modern art. When did that become a thing? Why can’t we have meaningful and skillfully made art decorating our homes and buildings? So design, write, compose, whatever you can do, with passion and skill. Let your very heart flow into your creation, the droplets of your soul fashioning each part in an overflowing portrait of depth. It’s time to stop letting shallow and cheap works surround us, but instead we should surround them with the power of living hearts. In the words of Andrew Peterson, “Every heart is a burning flame.”

P.S. That may just be the most poorly written speech ever… but… oh well… I’ll let all the grammar folk eat me for lunch. All I am here to do is make truth known, even if I can’t do it very well.

Candidate #4: Snapstudio (Snappy, Snaptoit, Zeesnapper, Guywiththemostnicknames)
Greetings and salutations my fellow users! Since you guys choose to actually do this Mecabricks president thing, yours truly decided to run!
And now, my speech...
Mecabricks - a place were we LEGO Fans (thanks to unlimited LEGO Bricks) get to express our love for the toy we never grew out of. But then again, LEGO isn’t really a toy. I could get into that, but I will stick to the point. Guess I never really thought I would say this but, if you elect me president, I will stand up for what’s right. No bullying, no profanity, no ugly behavior of any kind. There’s not much of that here anyway, but I thought I’d just clarify that. I would use my "power" wisely, and try to keep Mecabricks as absolutely great as it can be!
I wish everyone the best in this month's election. And a huge shoutout to my buddy BrickBoy for letting me use the Mecabricks Tile Piece Customs! God bless America (and Mecabricks)! smiling face with open mouth

Candidate #5: Bishop1859 (meh)
Hello, my fellow Mecabricks users! I'm Bishop1859, here running for president!
Now, I'm running for one perpose, make Mecabricks a better place! And to do that I'm going to attempt the following:
1. Welcoming new users.
Tell them everything I know on the workshop, tips, shortcuts and all that, and perhaps teach them that you don't need to reupload the same model/very similar ones. Simplicity people.
2. Eliminate the bullies.
Some people have the nerves to get on peoples nerves, and believe it or not, it gets on my nerves. This may include; Stealing models, Offensive behavior, and spam. I'll try my best to get to those people.
3. Leg godt.
For those who dont know, LEGO is an abbreviation for leg godt, meaning "play well." This is a site about playing with LEGO, let's enjoy what we're doing! Now, how am I going to "enforce" fun? Just talk to people, make their day! Maybe have a conversation, just be friends all together.
Thank you for joining me today, and remember, like LEGO, we must stick together!
I'm Bishop1859, and I approve of this message.
