++ Harrison for President ++
Americans! Today is a great day, to be sure. During the past few days, the USWP Executive Board has been working on a few things.. We've been working hard on Congressional Election Preparation, because that is and should be our first and foremost priority at this time. However, we've also been working on something else.. choosing the next nominee for President of the United States. America, I am proud to announce that on July 5th, I will be on the ballot, representing the United States Worker's Party, for President of the United States.
First, let me introduce my running mate. This is a person whom we all know, some adore, and some admire. I picked this person not for political affiliation nor in an attempt to win votes... I chose my soon-to-be right hand man because his skillset matches perfectly with mine. America, I announce to you the next Vice President of the United States, One Eye. One Eye has been a multi-term Senator and is running for re-election in the great state of Wyoming. He has been the Congressional Accountant, the person who does everything behind the scenes to control the Congressional Budget Office. Like myself, he is a proponent of free trade.. and that was key in determining him as my Vice President. I will readily admit weakness in the economic side of the game, which is why I chose a Vice President who clearly excels in that area. If elected, I will promptly delegate my economic agenda to One Eye, who will see to it that it gets accomplished.
As United States Secretary of State, I have an unparalleled look in to our new alliance structure. We've been invited to join alliances and we're working on creating one of our own, and I will keep up that work to ensure the safety and security of the United States is secure, if elected. I am also going to push for more emphasis on new player education.. because today's newbs are tomorrow's soldiers and tax-paying citizens. I am going to continue to support the military, because as we've shown in Israel and Central Greece, the United States Military is a force to be reckoned with. I am going to increase oversight over the federal budget via the re-enactment of a Budget Coordinator role, where a person will audit various federal programs to ensure tax dollars are not being wasted. I am going to push for free trade, but I do realize that without the reciprocal support of our allies in such a venture, it would be a waste. Most importantly, I'm going to work for the American citizen. I advocate an Open Door policy, and I will respond to each and every PM I get while in office and the time leading up to it.
Today, we have an American Patriot picture:
America, I'm ready to be your next President.

Good Luck mate
Presidential elections coming up again so soon?
Good luck HR!!! You have my full support!
This will be the only one I post until at least after Congress. It just helps to write the first one to quell the speculation.
Vote H.R/One Eye in July!
Voted!
Why can't people wait until the congressional elections are over?
Any country can tank their way out of a battle.
No, he has a point there, Rhane. Our military is getting better and better.
Harry Dick and One Eye...a match made in heaven!
Good luck mi amigo!
Send your trio down to Peru so I can give them a tour.
So I take it scrabman isn't running for reelection?
AKA The scrab 4th term
One Eye is a p cool choice though
You changed ur avatar, not cool.
@Chisholm
You really are bagging on the picture too? I mean, I can stand by and tolerate a LOT of things...but one thing I can not allow to stand unchallenged is hate of scantily clad hot chicks!
This injustice cannot continue!
TVZ
semi nude pics please
Excellent, good luck to you!
They deleted the pictures, hokie. I got in troubles.
They deleted my comment. I are mad
For reals.
Congratulations Mr. Richardson! I have not yet chosen a party, and I don't have enough experience yet anyway. However, you and the USWP are definitely the top contender right now.
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
I wholeheartedly endorse this message. Way to go, Harrison.
Congratulations on the nomination HR and excellent choice of running mate!
Thanks for all the support!
The best of luck from your allies and friends in Greece!
Voted
Way too early to announce.
Gonna take a lot more than your little 3 paragraphs full of nothing to convince me and the rest of the people, you better not bank on your USWP backing for this one.
Seems to me like you are just going to delegate all of your authority immediately, why don't we just cut to the chase and elect One Eye if he is apparently going to be running the government?
good luck man
You don't nearly have enough experience. One term in Congress and working with a limp-d*** pres doesn't prove a thing. Let's get someone in there who has at least been playing for a while...
Dubi - I wasn't aware Economy = Entire Government. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Do you think this is all I'm going to write? This is an introduction article, not a complete platform.
Shafer -
I'll announce when I please As I said, I wanted to quell the speculation.
Che Greco -
Many thanks, friend!
Thanks for your feedback, Bobby.
Oh, Bobby, by the way, it's 3 terms. In the cabinet, that is. Thanks.
Yup no problem i know what you've done
At this point at least, you've got my vote. Good luck to you!
Well the vote of my citizen account, at least, lol.
question:
I've kinda been searching through articles looking for an answer to this... there are several members of congress who seem to be advocating for a 1% import tax. Now, to anyone who has studied economics, free trade (especially in an environment like this where there is no concern for exploitation, child labor, etc.) is a good thing, AS LONG AS it goes in both directions. Are you proposing a unilateral reduction of import taxes?
That'd be a boon for consumers, who could get products from other markets cheaper, and for suppliers, who could buy raw materials from around the world. Unfortunately, our job market would suffer, and our largest businesses (those that sell all over the eWorld) would cease to be competitive.
Am I misunderstanding the position of the free trade advocates in Congress? Or am I missing an important characteristic of eRepublik's world economy that doesn't follow the principles which exist in real life?
Fine. You can be my running mate.
Bastion/HR in July '09!!
Harrison, you have my full support.
I'm not sure if that means much since I don't live in the eUSA, but i figured it couldn't hurt
Harrison 4 President! You've definitely got my vote buddy
Interesting. Despite not being a USWP member, (quite the opposite really) I've usually tended to agree with what you say for the most part. Plus, nice pictures. Heheh.
Good luck on the election.
Lord help us all.
Also, love you, but totally tired of the nekkid girls. It's actually kinda... disturbing? Don't make the presidency an old boys club. Get rid of them, or put some hot dudes in there alongside the ladies. You know... in the name of DIVERSITY!
Harrison/OneEye, until I switch my fickle allegiances!
Richard
Rich - No offense to anyone, but I'm not putting half naked men in my articles. Anyone else can, as it's a free world, but I won't do that. I'll continue to post half naked women until the Admins don't let me any more. If nothing else, it adds a weee bit of fun to this game.
tbird - I quote from my article: "I am going to push for free trade, but I do realize that without the reciprocal support of our allies in such a venture, it would be a waste." I'm going to be pushing hard for free trade, but I'm not going to be pushing for it here.. I'm going to be pushing for it overseas to get our allies to agree.
Thanks for all the support
HR
One Eye is a great pick for you, HR .
Bah. Just what we need. A paranoid control freak running the eUS. I'd sooner vote scrab for a 4th term.
cool
@Liquid Oxygen - "Bah. Just what we need. A paranoid control freak running the eUS. I'd sooner vote scrab for a 4th term."
Awww ... I love you too man! Who knew that my not running again would turn you from a h8er to a lover?
Harrison will be the bomb as the new President btw.
Good luck with the elections.
i love carmen luvana!
@scrabs Hey, hate is a VERY strong word! Besides, I have my own reasons for not wanting HR as the next prez.
At least you have best intentions as YOUR defense.
I support the poster of pics
Harrison, I fully support your choice of pick.
Harrison/OneEye/Skraedos July 09!!!
You'll do well. Yours will be the administration of ass. I'm with you Harrison.
Harrison has the gift of gab. He's an excellent diplomat and will make a good president.
Administration of Ass. That has a nice ring to it.
good luck man
the "free trade" idea they made real is destroying many businesses in eusa. its an epic fail. its hurting my investments. we need very few foreign items, and the blanket tariff removal is bad for us.
i cannot support you with your free trade candidate. real nafta or enafta, its bad, mkay?
Kyle or Jewitt better win in July
Way to go harrison u've got my vote!
Good. It's about time scrabman goes down.
If the USWP are supporting you; you will win.
Also you're a giant pervert.
This may be a few too many comments, but hey, it's a free article. Right?
I'm a pervert for posting legally aged scantily clad women? That's new.
GO HR!
loving the patriot pics, i believe all women should be similarly patriotic
Carmen Luvana is amazing.
And so is this article!
