The first part is good.
The second half, "I very much proclaim that days ago are many".
To say that you made the announcement many days ago, you need to switch law'
and Hu'.
law' Hu' is a sentence, "Days ago are many"; so the 'e' is refering to this
previous sentence.
For a time stamp you want Hu' law' "many days ago".

I think of paw as being for something physical. Does a qaD'a' arrive?
Perhaps "occur" qaS.
... qaS qaD'a' wa'DIch.

I'm not sure what you mean by jaj'e'.
"as for a day, the Council decides it."

And with this clue, I guess he's refering to rules of grammar.

Don't forget the loQ "slightly"

I thought he said he apparently gambled (voting for Nader).
(Is Nader with the "green" party? I'm not into politics that much.)

Instead of wIvmeH, perhaps SIghmeH or ponmeH.

vIttlhegh is from KGT as well. "proverb" (n).
Garrett, do you have KGT (Klingon for the Galactic Traveler)?
