Congressional Update + IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO AAP MEMBERS!

13 Day 839, 17:39 USA
Hello everyone,

First of all, I would like to say that I am TERRIBLY sorry about not doing the Weekly Presidential Perspective this past weekend. I really tried to, and I tried to make it one of the best yet, and I am still am, I am hoping that I will have the interviews and article done by Wednesday, when I usually do my random interview; I hope I will be then publishing it... sorry, now on to the article for today.

Okay, this has been the second week of my second term in Congress. We have done a LOT since last week's article; We have assigned our committees, and I was appointed as the Chairman of the Government Oversight Subcommittee; we, as many of you know (as it has become widely public), we proposed many tax changes, though they were rejected, this also cued a large public discussion on congress to public transparency, and we have tried to fix many of these complaints; we are now trying to come up with better, more reasonable tax changes, as our government needs more funding; we are working on much more, although I do not think that I may share with you yet, sorry. Well, this is all I have to say for updates this week, so why don't we look at the voting records I have kept. Here you are:

Special Announcement to the AAP From Me



Members of the AAP,

If you have or have not noticed, our party recently went through a really weird day a little while ago. Our Party's name was first changed to Aersidius's Awesome Party, then citizen PizzaTheHut(Ajay Bruno), was somehow granted citizenship to the US, and further joined the AAP. Aersidius, our Party President, then changed our name for a while to PizzaTheHut for Party Pres; PEOPLE, this is the part I want to emphasize on, especially to the less active AAP'ers, DO NOT THINK THAT PIZZA THE HUT IS THE PERSON TO VOTE FOR!!!! DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! HE WILL TROLL OUR PARTY AND COMPLETELY SCREW UP THE AAP! PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM AS LULZ EITHER! THIS IS VERY SERIOUS! --Our party's name is now changed back to normal, and there are now citizen ads going around to vote for Pizza The Hut, again, DO NOT be confused and vote for him! He shouldn't even had US Citizenship. Besides, even if he was an okay guy, he has only been in the AAP for a couple of DAYS anyways!!! So again, do not vote Pizza The Hut this coming PP elections.... Thank you...

EDIT:
Another Announcement
People, I am becoming very busy writing articles, staying in the loop of all the news, working in Congress, working with the AAP, and much more, and as you all know, I am the eSweden Ambassador. [Xx-Change-xX]. I was recently contacted by the new Director of Ambassadorial Affairs, Robert Oakden, about an update for eAmbassadors, and I replied with my decision that as incredibly hard to make. Before I "officially" make the announcement, I would like to say that I have had a TON of fun being ambassador to eSweden for the past couple of weeks, and have learned how great a country it is. I have learned so much and had so much fun through this, and encourage all people looking to help in any way to join the Ambassador program. But I am just too busy and my service, ad the people I am helping, and eSweden deserve more than what I have been able to do; so, here is my official announcement: I am no longer ambassador to eSweden, I have been released from my Ambassadorial duties happily and am welcomed back to th program any time in the future, which I will definitely consider. Thank you.

---Alright, this is all we have for this week! And I promise, we will get last week's Presidential Perspective out as soon as we can, please stay tuned! Thanks, and please vote/shout/sub! You may find last week's Congress update here. Thank you!

Pizza the Hut, known PTOer from eAustralia, was granted citizenship by tricking members of Congress into clicking on an auto-redirect link that automatically approved him.

It doesn't look like Pizza the Hut himself did the actual exploitation in the above case of cheating, but it says a lot that letting him in was such a bad idea that someone had to deceive to get him in.

Great report!

The only thing you could to improve it would be to tell us which proposals were passed or rejected. A final vote tally would be good, too.

@ralph, I will consider this in the future, although it is already pretty hard to do this, I will consider your idea in the future.... The only thing is that I record them as soon as i vote, and a lot of times, I would forget to check back on it for final vote count... Thank you though for your suggestion and I will definitely consider it

Thanks Astra, and Pizza, why am I misguided? You nearly PTO'ed Australia, pretty much cheated for eUS citizenship, and now practically PTO'ing (or trying to) the biggest eUS party... Pizza, I will admit you probably have more experience than me, but nothing else.... not friends, not worthiness, etc.....
