Here is another update to my voting record. There was a lot more proposals this time around and has been a very interesting week due to congressman resigning and a lot going on with war and everything. Remember the best way to get to know everyone and get active in this game is to register on the eUSA forums. Here is the link: http://erepublikusa.com/forums/index.php

Tax Change (Dec 1st): Hospital import tax form 99% to 1%, and income tax from 1% to 7%.
Outcome: Approved
My vote: Yes
Reason: The reason I voted yes on this one is because the import tax is irrelevant, similar to the defense system tax.

Tax Change (Dec 2nd): Wood vat tax from 1% to 0%, import tax from 48% to 99%.
Outcome: Rejected
My vote: No
Reason: There was no reason to raise the import tax at this time.

Tax Change (Dec 3rd): Wood import tax from 48% to 10%, income tax from 1% to 7%.
Outcome: Rejected
My vote: No
Reason: There was no reason to lower the import tax on wood. We have the companies and the domestic ability to be self sufficient. I think we need to focus on getting companies paying correct wages and running companies properly. Income tax should be at least 7%.

Tax Change (Dec 5th): House vat tax from 1% to 3%, import tax from 99% to 25%, income tax from 1% to 7%.
Outcome: Approved
My vote: Yes
Reason: Some of the housing prices were a little high, bringing in competition should help lower these prices. I really liked the income tax being raised; people making profit should be paying some taxes.

Buy Constructions: (Dec 5th): Buying a Q3 defense system for Virginia
Outcome: Approved
My vote: Yes
Reason: Borders the capital, has a Q4 hospital. Only makes sense.

Tax Change: (Dec 6th): Changing Weapon import tax from 99% to 5%, vat from 3% to 1%.
Outcome: Approved
My vote: Yes
Reason: Our iron market is killing the weapon market. We need foreign production, especially in time of war.

Declare War: (Dec 6th): Q1 Declare war against France
Outcome: Approved
My vote: Yes
Reason: Do I really need to explain.

Tax Change: (Dec 7th): Wood vat tax from 1% to 0%, 48% to 10%, and income tax from 1% to 2%.
Outcome: Approved
My vote: No
Reason: Same as the first time, we have the domestic capabilities to be self sufficient.

Buy Construction: (Dec 7th): Buying a Q1 hospital for Iowa
Outcome: Approved
My vote: Yes
Reason: No hospital, Q1 is sufficient.

MPP: (Dec 9th): China
Outcome: Rejected
My vote: No
Reason: seemed to be a one-sided MPP, not a very powerful country, not very beneficial for us at the moment.

Buy Construction: (Dec 10th): Q3 Defense System for California
Outcome: Approved
My vote: Yes
Reason: Border state with high population.

This has been all of the proposals since the 1st of the month and I have voted on every one of them and participated on the forums when it was necessary. Like I said earlier, to find a lot of this information, go to the eUSA boards. There is a ton of useful information and you will be instantly involved in the game. I am open to any criticism from anyone, especially citizens from Colorado, because I am representing them. Also I will post another update in about 7 to 10 days. I would again like to thank everyone for voting me in for congress and will be running again next term so please vote for me.

Also I am open to any suggestions or ideas that you have.

And please subscribe to the paper. Thanks
