[WTP] Take Your Congress back.

Day 3,018, 22:02 Published in USA USA by Hale26


For the past two weeks I have been writing to you of the need for Insurgency in our community. It is not groupings of players like “Establishment”-ers or “Revolutionary”-ers that our Insurgency fights against. Our Insurgency has one enemy- An idea known as Complacency.



Complacency is the idea that the ingame player has less of a right to information than the metaplayer. The idea that if you’re of the right group, you can say what you want because there will be no reprecussions. The idea that we cannot act as a united community because one group is “better” than another.



We see it in our Congress, too.

Congress is broken. All business happens on off-site forum. I have no issue with forums; What I have issue with is what happens next. This detachment from ingame forces many conversations to take a political turn, turning our Representatives into school-yard partisans rather than players with differences of opinion playing for the greater eAmerica. The worst part about this is when attempts to make Congress relevant are made, they are dismissed as “gimicky”, “low-priority” and unimportant.



This is where WeThePeople Congress candidates, alllll 15 o’em, respectfully disagree with our colleagues.



In our view, as populists, the only way to keep Congress relevant is to bring it back here, ingame, where it belongs. And the only way to do that is through the media. Through fair, open moderation of posts ; through public voting records for EVERY SINGLE Congressman ; through weekly updates from the Body.



WeThePeople today seeks a mandate from you, the voter, to make that change come true. To take our Congress back. We need your vote so that even if we don’t achieve our goal, we send forward a strong delegation that can lead by example - doing their own Congress Updates ingame, posting their own vote records ingame and acting as a voice of moderation in a sea of blind partisanship.



We need your vote so that if we do achieve our goal, us and our colleagues in good faith (no matter their party) can realize the goal of a relevant Congress. No matter the result of today, WTP will be putting forward a Speaker of the House from our ranks to challenge the status quo in Congress. Further, they will mount their challenge here, ingame where it matters.


eAmerica is ready for a Real Change. I ask you to please make this vision a reality, to GO OUT AND;



VOTE WETHEPEOPLE FOR KONGRESS



Thank you,



Hale26
