Dear Citizen,

the times for re-elections are slowly coming within sight. Should it concern you? Will there be anyone speaking out for the crowd? The answer is yes. While many will think to know better what is good for you and tell you what to do, while I, Paige Madeline Saint, will care for your opinion, and I am now an official candidate in the next elections.

1. Why vote for Saint?

-My family has been native to this city for many generations. I know it in and out, along with its problems and possible solutions. -I am not a foolhardy adventuress and care about contact to the citizens, trying to be available at convenient times. -Many know me and my fledgling mercantile business and have found my prices fair and agreeable. -Having had no prior affiliations, I remain completely independant and unbiased. -I am ready to fund several new merchants and other projects that will be contributing to work towards those ends.

2. What can I do for you?

-A redistribution of budget is likely in order as we have lost the Canal Ward. The organisations protecting our city will primarily benefit, to ensure we will not suffer the same fate as Lower. More attractive wages should also lessen corruptions within their ranks. -In a place like this we cannot be picky about who we do business with, though I would like to see a more independant Sanctuary, encouraging more inward trading and job opportunities to bring stability. -More influence of the people should lead to more synergy. I am planning to greatly include the opinion of the citizens in Council decisions and bring it to their attention. -Addendum: For a stronger infrastructure I am in favor of restricting the trade on mind flayer made wares and giving the Society of the ordered mind an enhanced control of the evil machinations of those beings in our midst. -Is there anything else I can do for you? Let me know.

The previous council let you down, you feel helpless and misrepresented? Give more power back to the system, vote Saint! You can make a difference. I will be your voice on the council!

Further questions, ideas and suggestions? Leave me a letter at the Grotto or find me in person. Towards the Future! Be part of it.

Signed, ~Paige M. Saint

Why settle for less when you can have it all?

I am..

An learned politician.

A trustworthy merchant.

A donor to the security and safety of our town. (Added is a copy of >this<.)

A someone who is not afraid to speak my beliefs even in the face of death and misfortune.

A speaker for the people.

A respected friend, and neighbor to many, for as long as I have been living here, which was all my life.

I also have much admiration and respect for nigh everyone running for the council with me and would be delighted to serve you, citizens just like myself, at their side. However, they are no Saints!

Show that you care for your home, vote Saint!

Paige Madeline Saint on The Montezzi Issue:

I was thinking it would go without saying where I stood as I always, always openly speak my mind about that, those who know me are well aware.

But to scatter your doubts..

The Montezzi had marked me for death due to my attitude towards them. It is safe to assume we are not actually friends.

I have on several occasions refused to deal with them or their supporters.

Unlike most others, I do not visit their compound in the Lower regions, spying on their behalf would be impossible at those conditions.

They will not be given any more ground if I have any say in this.

I am not in favor of wars, but if the rumours about them dealing with slavers and other enemies of Sanctuary, we will put a trade embargo on them and treat them just like that.

Do not listen to absolutely unfounded slander! Speak to me, Paige Madeline Saint, about your concerns today!

I will be your voice on the council.

Towards the Future!®

Maybe you have been hearing insinuations about me bribing for votes. While it IS true that I observed Candidate Undt doing this, I myself merely did normal business with an adventurer as I often do. The man in question purchased a fine cloak for the sum of a hundred gold, while I droppped not a single word about the elections in whatever way. There are several witnesses to this.

Always think before you act.
