It’s been an exciting week in this campaign, eAmerica. I hope by now you know what I’m about. Let’s recap a bit:

I told you on June 25th that I wanted to be your President.

I told you on June 27th about my plans for Foreign Affairs, Defense, National Security, and Media.

I told you on June 29th about my plans for Education, Interior, Homeland Security, and introduced you to the rest of my team.

[DMJ4POTUS] It Belongs to Them

On June 1st, I let you ask me questions, keyboard-to-keyboard, and published my answers to some outstanding inquiries.

[DMJ4POTUS] Let's Give it Back

Today, on July 3rd, I come to ask you to vote for me on July 5th. Tomorrow, we celebrate the independence of our RL nation from tyranny and oppression. As a RL Veteran, I hold the principles of duty, honor, and country very seriously. But this is not RL. This is eRepublik. I need to show you that I am as committed to our eNation as I am to our RL nation.

I have spent countless hours in eRepublik doing my best to make it a better place for the people I influence. There are very few rewards for a job well done in this game. Yet, the people who want to help continue to do so. I want to continue to make this country great. I want to build bridges and communicate with our divided populace. The schism we experience daily is not going to disappear, but we can do better to cross those gaps, to make the effort to work together for the things that matter.

I have sought to make my campaign focused on my plans and vision for the eUS rather than a battle of "I'm not the other guy, and here's why he's bad." On the 5th, I hope that's the knowledge you take with you the polls.

I want to thank all those who have helped me along the road. Running for President in this game is a formidable task and it doesn’t happen without backup. Thank you to the parties who have endorsed me as their candidate, especially the Feds, USWP, and my home party, WTP, and the multiple 6ther parties.

Join me in this journey. Vote for DMJ 4 POTUS.

P.S. I’m also announcing Serendipitous as my Secretary of Fun and Garmr as my Director of ATF (he found out I don’t drink, so he’s going to gather all the alcohol in the eUS to find something I like).
