25 November 2009 Congressional Election (Vermont, USA)
Herrn Sterling
My name is Herr Sterling, and I am officially announcing my first ever intent to run for congress on the 25th of November 2009 under the AAP in Vermont.
I currently hold two government jobs. The first is US Ambassador to Germany. It's not an easy job but it has let me meet a lot of friendly people and learn another nation's perspective of the US; this allows me to have a better understanding of what the US, as a nation, could do better. My second government job is an Immigration Enforcement Agent (IEA) for the Citizenship Task Force (CTF). Many congressmen and women should be familiar with this but it is my job to make sure the wrong people do not gain US citizenship.
PEACE
My position on PEACE is to communicate with those nations that aren't actively aggressive towards the US and our allies to try to improve the relations between our lands. For those countries that are aggressive towards the US and our allies, I believe that every possible action should be taken in order to ensure our safety and to liberate any and all nations suppressed under their rule and aggression.
Foreign Relations
If you're familiar with my paper, you will know that one of my main priorities is foreign relations. Foreign relations are an essential part of everyday life in the New World. Through our relations, we can make new friends and keep old ones. We can work together with other nations for the well- being of both countries while fighting nations opposed to our way of life and those nations that try to intervene in our affairs without just cause. To see some of my work, you can read an article that I pieced together by asking all 59 presidents, excluding the United State's, what their nation thought of America.
Domestic
While foreign affairs are important to me, domestic issues are just as important. Not only do we need to continue programs such as the mentoring program, Meals on Wheels, the Citizen Task Force, and the countless other programs, but we need to work on ways of improving them and ensuring that we keep them up-to-date and active. I will support domestic issues by participating wherever I can.
Military
I also believe in a strong military to defend our homeland. I will always stand beside our military and support them in every endeavor and will participate in it whenever I can. If elected, I will not be able to travel abroad which will limit my availability to actively participate in the military; however, I will support funding for the military since it is what protects our very way of life from those who wish us harm.
As a congressman, it is my duty to represent the citizens of this state, to the nation, and I will do everything in my power to ensure that the US is a leader and friend to countries around the globe.

Good luck mate!
Good luck fellow Congress-hopeful
You bring valid points.
Voted/Subbed.
Good luck man, you've done an awesome job at the CTF, and I'm sure you'd be a great congressman
Go Sterling! 🙂
You has the furglar endorsement hottie 😛
Good luck
Amazing platform! You've got my vote.
voted, supported.
This candidate would make a very appropriate representative for Vermont.
Let's see, you didn't make promises you can't keep, you didn't use fluffy rhetoric, you didn't use the phrase, "i will try real hard", and you didn't promise your state a q5 hospital.
Congratulations, your announcement is the first palatable one I've seen. I'm not sure who else is running, but you certainly deserve the chance to make a go of it.
Good luck. You are a strong candidate.
Sterling is one of my favorite eRep people. Concerned, interested, deliberate, he'll make a great addition to Congress.
Take it from the two time old Vermont candidate - this kid can represent! Fo sho.
Srsly, good luck out there!
I support you 100% for the Vermont seat. Good luck!
Good luck, You will make a great congressman.
I endorse Herrn Sterling too! 😃
Best of luck to you!
Best of luck... Go AAP!
You say nothing about building more hospitals or defense systems, you say nothing about how we are gonna fund or support these things. Your platform is a bunch of theoretical nonsense and we obviously need someone who has a much more powerful and secure platform like Stormin http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/th[..]815/1" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/th[..]815/1
I dislike the way you overlook domestic affairs. Citizen run domestic programs are very important, but the ability for the citizens of a state to defend themselves, and heal is just as important.Player run programs are a nice touch, but if we ever have to fight for this nation again I'd rather have the defense system.
"You say nothing about building more hospitals or defense systems, you say nothing about how we are gonna fund or support these things."
I didn't say anything about these because I do not feel that we need more at this time. If you look at Stormin's platform, in the comments, I have taken my position on hospitals and defense.
Spot the two newbs who don't know about the fortress strategy. Guys please don't take a strong stance on issues you have not researched thoroughly. Kthnxbai
At Fred and Will, you guys obviously don't know much about the Fortress Strategy, or game mechanics in general. Methinks you need to step back and read something before you start acting like you know what you are talking about.
Frederich Von Rosenstein, learn to link.
if there were more americans like sterling the world would be a better place with more talks about the diferences and more respect for others
sadly there are 2 many friederich who only inteligent stuff about them is a great deustchen citizen

A vote for Herr Sterling is a vote for PEACE. VOTE STORMIN FOR VERMONT, HE IS THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB: http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspap" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspap
i rest my case about the mindless actions ...
Good luck Herm!!
Sterling what you are doing here is keeping the norm. I mean if we wanted to elect a place holder for congress your the ideal candidate. A great example is your issue on domestic polices almost all members of congress support this issue. Instead you need to focus on more pressing issues that will help the United States as a whole. Policies such as improving infrastructure and building Q5 hospitals.
Your opponent Stormin is looking to change the country for the better while you plan on wasting your seat sitting their for the achievement. I agree with Rosenstien Stormin has a far superior platform than yourself.
