Don't divide the world into "them" and "us." Avoid infatuation with or resentment of the press, the Congress, rivals, or opponents. Accept them as facts. They have their jobs and you have yours.

~Donald Rumsfeld


Afternoon WTPers,

As usual, WTP is having its congress primary. You, the voters, will be deciding who you want to represent you and your fellow partiers in congress.

Below is a quick assortment of their responses in the congress application sheet, some nice paragraph breaks made by Talostatic, and pictures.
My advice- Before voting, at least skim through this.

Hale26- 109%
Are you willing to use IRC ?
Yes, and I use it frequently.

Have you reqed for access to WTP Private ?
Yes

Why do you want to be a congressman?
I want to be a congressman to gain experience in that area of the game. As a party worker for WTP, I help organize congress elections. However, I never really know what the inside of congress is like.

So, the experience would be very helpful. Not to mention that I'm fairly active, so if CS passes were needed for ATO I would probably be on to use them.

What sets you apart as a congressman?
I'm a Gecko, not brash and patient. That being said, I do have a fair bit of energy. I also like to think of myself as creative. Or awersome :3

What positions/roles have you held in WTP ?
"In the past I was the ""Body Counter"" under John Jay. Basically, I just helped out with a few things here and there. Founded the Shouts Hawks and made the original census.

From there I was Comms Director (Which later became IA Director- Same job, different name) for JJ's last 2 terms. I continue to hold this position."

What eUS Past Experience do you have ?
Um, not very much :3
I've helped with the DHS, the ambassador program, but nothing very cabinet-ish. However, despite this, I believe I know enough to be a good congressman. Not to mention, I'm willing to learn ^_~

Are you interested in pursuing a congress Leadership Position ?
No

No

Why do you want to be a congressman?
Up until now I've been focusing on battle success. I'm curious what else is in this game. I don't know if it is true that Congress is a waste of time, I hear that said among some who are elected. But I should find out myself.

What sets you apart as a congressman?
I don't really know what makes for a good congressperson. I do know that I play this silly game on a daily basis, so if nothing else I'm available. I also care about having important battles to fight, so as much as possible, I'd use my congress seat to debate for meaningful warfare.

What positions/roles have you held in WTP ?
I am only getting started in WTP. I was a Federalist because Gnilraps guided me there. This month, when Easy Company separated from that party, I was bummed about how stupid the Federalist leaders acted. When we presented them with sensible explanation, they chose to believe conspiracy. I left because that type of thinking is honestly just scary. Gnilraps told me that WTP is the only truly independent thinking party in the country, and he always seems to know his sh*t. Anyway, that's more than you asked, but it explains why I haven't held any positions in WTP.

What eUS Past Experience do you have ?
My only experience has been as EZC Captain where I was responsible for organizing my Regiment and working to increase their activity. I am proud to say that my Regiment was the most active during my tenure.

Are you interested in pursuing a congress Leadership Position ?
