Correon,

I am so astounded that the Senate didn't do anything…or even really try to help the Queen out. I can't believe it…have we've fallen so far, my friend?

I would have assumed that she and Palpatine worked this out…sad to see the Chancellor go. Finis is such a great man…

Were you able to talk with her before she left? I just found out that she was heading back to Naboo. Can you believe that? I can't…what is with her? She is putting her life in danger going back there! But if she is doing it for the people, then that is admirable…if foolish.

I haven't heard much on the child that was with her and the Jedi. Perhaps the youth is Force sensitive? That could be a reason why he freed the child.

It doesn't make much sense to me either…I didn't think Jedi adopted children. But if he is Force sensitive…then again don't they only get babies normally?

I was amazed at how passionate she was when she spoke. She indeed loves her people, it was obvious! If only we had more people like her. We would be able to get more things accomplished in the Senate.

Yes I was only able to get a few words with Palpatine. I've told him that we would help him out if he needed it. Now that he is up for Chancellor, if he wins we can still assist him.

Skywalker? Yeah that might be his name. I've not really paid much attention to that, but I am glad you have. That was awfully generous of him to offer that! He sounds special. There should be more like him out there.

I could not believe it either, Correon. How could they allow what has happened to continue? Did they not believe her? I could not believe that Finis didn't speak out…that puzzled me greatly. She was brave in issuing the vote. Sad…but brave."

I was taken back by my nomination… I do hope either myself of Palpatine gets it. Either way we will work to fix the wrongs of the Senate. That is the most important part that needs to be done.

We will campaign our ideas. We must let others know that the corruption must end and quickly before it gets any worse.

I have no idea why Palpatine would have called for it…unless the situation on Naboo is even worse than what the Queen stated. Perhaps the two panicked? I'm not sure why he would have allowed her to make such a call unless things were really bad.

I wouldn't doubt it…then man has accomplished so much for the Senate. It isn't his fault it is beginning to fail. Some things have been overlooked or hidden from him. He is just one man after all.

I'm not sure if he could do anything else…I would assume he could if he wanted to. But this was a terrible blow to him. I truly hope his wife will be able to comfort him. Politics has been his life ever since his junior days. He enjoyed the work…I truly hope things go well for him. I am going to attempt to stay in contact with him if at all possible.

If I am elected, I will attempt to help her as well. This is ridiculous allowing the Trade Federation to get out of hand. They have been a thorn in the Senate's side for way too long…

I truly hope Palpatine thinks the way we do. He does seem concerned about the corruption getting out of hand. Who knows, perhaps we can find an alley with him in this struggle. Once the election is over with I will attempt to talk with him on this matter.

I truly hope things don't worsen, my friend. I do not think the Republic could handle it. Perhaps it is just a slip…maybe we will come back from this and learn from this mishap. I can only hope we learn from our mistakes in order to not repeat them.

Yes…she is leaving all ready. I had hoped she wouldn't. I think it is foolish of her, as I stated earlier.

Sara has enjoyed your wife's company! In her last letter she talked of her. She likes her very much and it appears that the two are conspiring to do something when things settle down in the Senate for us.

Thank you so much for allowing her to travel to Alderaan. She has brightened my wife's spirits. She is a sensitive soul and is worried about me, with your wife keeping her company she has something else to think on.
