Coming out of the closet and throwing in my hat for the December congressional elections

I know this may be a little early for talking about congressional elections when Party President and the infamous MU captain elections are in full swing. However, I wanted to change up how I planned to announce my candidacy. Instead of coming out with just one dry and stale platform, I am going to publish a series of articles that state my points and how I stand on current issues.



During my previous terms in congress, I found it amusing when people with new, fresh ideas or those whom wanted to think outside the box were immediately criticized by a select few. I will not name names, but their response was always the same. That is the role of blah…blah…blah or that is outside the authority of congress blah…blah…blah. What most people do not understand is that anything outside normal game mechanics (i.e. tax, donations, alliance, and natural enemy proposals) is outside the congressional authority. Everything else they claim that is within their authority was created by congress in what is now termed as the eUS constitution and codes. I should know because I was involved in writing some of the sections and was also involved in rewriting them when they lost the original forum and files.

Bottom line is everything outside of game mechanics is just pomp and circumstance. New congressmen with ideas should not feel threaten by the select few who think they have unwarranted authority. It does not mean you should not follow the proper proceedings and procedures as they are written, that would be a rogue congressman, but use them to your advantage and do not be afraid to propose different ideas. As your new elected congressmen, I attend to do just that.

Put aside bias against the redcoats, here is a prime example of a society putting new players first: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-uk-gov-ministry-of-finance-programs1-1923191/1/20


Look for future articles detailing more of my platform once I am endorsed by the Federalist Party and have been assigned an state. Until then remember that it is just a game and not to take yourself so damn seriously.
