April '2010 Congressional Platform

Dear Citizens of Mpumalanga,

I am excited to announce that I am running for Congress this upcoming term. This would be my 1st attempt at running for congress. I would be running for congress under the IA (Independant Alternative) Banner. I have so many fresh ideas to bring to the table and cannot wait to start representing YOU!

Here are some of the basic principles I will build my campaign on:


TOGETHER eSA MUST UNITE

Military

I cannot reiterate how important our military has become to eSA. Over the last 2 months we were PTO’d and our military stepped in and regained our country. In the previous Republik’s it was our Military that got our country back on the map. Right now, we need to concentrate on expansion within our military. I will focus my efforts on protecting our country and our loyal allies. As you probably know, the military and economic aspects of this game are tightly intertwined and to prosper, we need to remain militarily strong..


Democracy

I am a firm believer in democracy and ones democratic rights. Having said that I feel it is something we should approach gently and work ourselves towards true democracy. With constant threats of PTO’s etc we need to take our time and build ourselves some solid and secure foundations to protect our democracy in future..


Economy

Recently, the South African economy was practically nonexistent and is dominated with foreign companies, we should be striving for new PSA companies and support thereof. I feel we could look at increasing import taxes it can help protect South African businesses. I am all about helping the average SAFFERS piggy bank


Foreign Policy

We should continue to uphold our alliances and especially preserve the great opportunities we have through them. When deciding upon international affairs, I will listen to other countries' sides of the story, while of course keeping in mind what is best for eSA.


Domestic Political Affairs

I stand for more government transparency. After all, Congressmen and women are there upon YOUR votes, spending YOUR money, making vital decisions about YOUR country, and should answer to YOU!

Once elected, I will release articles where everyone can see my voting history. I will also post a weekly update so that you know what's going on in eSA.


Thank You

I hope to see you at the polls on the 25th of April. If you have any other questions about me as a Congressional candidate, feel free to PM me.
