One Eye, UIP
What's to say about One Eye? He single handily runs the budget allotments for congress. He runs budget numbers like a boss. The man is a magician with this game and I'm pretty sure when he quits, the game will cease to exist. Please don't cause the game to end, elect One Eye.

Nice article.

I think that needs to be fixed.
Thanks for the endorsement!
Vote Federalist!
Stbob in South Dakota!
James S. Pfeiffer in Louisiana!
Gaius Julius in Tennessee!
Ther3alsyler in Oklahoma!
Bill Brasky in Mississippi!
Fair, unbiased, and pretty good overall. Was proud to be a part of this and felt it went well.
Just emphasizing that I was a NON VOTING participant... please don't send me angry PMs lol.
Job well done by everyone, though.
Thanks for the endorsement! I'll do my best to live up to it!
Vote Federalist tomorrow!!!
Sigh... Can never get the endorsement for Utah...
Thank you for your endorsement. Joseph, I'll send you one anyway for old times sake 😛
Pretty good selection, ICCCR, however, Kansas is NOT a weak state. Blake deserves the ICCCR nod here. he is extremely active and does a lot in Congress... not to mention, he write the majority of the Congressional Reports... this makes me a very sad panda.
Thank you for the endorsement!
Aang in Colorado!
Aren in Connecticut
Woxan in Nevada!
Tormod in Utah!
Airbender is a POOR recommendation. Shame on those who decided for him. He is WEAK on national security and worries about lining the pockets of his cronies with OUR hard earned tax dollars. He is a leftist radical. The Conservative members of this panel lobbied on my behalf but the radicals who dominate the decisions, who are not "independent" decided to pick him. Also... note that the description is barely changed from before he was even in Congress a month ago. This should not be taken seriously.
Furthermore, Harrison is a party hack who has publicly made harsh comments against me. he is NOT an independent. This panel is a sham. The people will make the right decision, not this crooked rigged panel.
Ajay go fuck yourself...
First time I'm in a strong state. This will be a fun election.
Tormod, you have earned my respect for your last comment.
I'm disappointed for not getting the endorsement, but I'm not going to bitch and moan about it.
I never said I was independent. I am USWP.
Tormod summed it up.
Ajay, this panel is full of people from many parties across the political spectrum. This panel is in no way rigged whatsoever.
Vote Logan Dunleavy for New York
"A new voice for New York"
Last pic got my vote
The Conservatives supported me. The liberals didn't. Ananias and Harrison both hate me and the AAP guy obviously doesn't like me either. That tilts it. It is quite unfair, but I shall prevail anyway.
Tormod > Conservatives
thanks kyle
Wow! Liberals not supporting a conservative!
We should totally support someone who we don't see eye to eye with on our platform and stances!
🙂 thanks guys. This months endorsement actually made me go awww. lol It was full of win! 😃
This is 1-1 for me (after chosing Emerick last time, rofl x million). Will it go 1-2? Who knows! Hokie for RI!
Indiana(Kyle321n)
"He's almost overqualified to be a congressman"
"Another term is in order for him, if not a presidential term"
This is biased at all! 😛
This is reaking with bias. 11 endorsements for the USWP? This clearly has a leftist slant, but alas, I care not,good riddance to you sirs.
Ajay, if you want to break it down by ideology, its 15 Left-Leaning Seats, and 19-Right Leaning seats, with 7 Independent seats, and 10 are undecided. Live with the results, move on, and stop bitching.
Great job Kyle, good luck getting a sixpeat.
Lol Ajay, I was part of this and many see me as just a USWP hater. To be honest, half of the candidates I pushed for I had no idea of their party, I just knew they were the competent candidate.
>He is WEAK on national security and worries about lining the pockets of his cronies with OUR hard earned tax dollars.
I always find it funny when people assume Congress for whatever reason has access to the treasury to just take as much money as they want. There's really no law congress can pass that will selectively give them money. It can be helpful toward business owners which most of Congress is, but that is for the greater of the nation not Congress "cronies"
Great job Kyle, good luck getting a sixpeat 🙂
Crisholm, you don't even like President Bush so clearly you have bad taste.
Ajay this is a battle you can't win, stop trying.
Thanks for the endorsment
Ajay I do not dislike you. Most of my votes in the ICCCR were for USWP and second most for CVP. Aang Airbender, is an active member of our party so I couldn't help but to vote for him. There was a handful of AAPers that did not get my vote. I supported; myself (of course), Woxan, Aren Perry, Tormod, and Aang Airbender.
"Crisholm, you don't even like President Bush so clearly you have bad taste."
Lulz at this, people that bring real life politics into erepublik have no understanding of how the political system works here. For example increasing the minimum wage in real life sounds good to me however raising it in erepublik is a bad idea. Ajay, eusforum.com is a great place to read up on how erepublik works.
good luck all candidates!!!
"California

Thanks for the endorsement once again. The list is awesome as always. I encourage all voters to listen to ICCCR. This is a great independent think tank that picks who they believe is the best representative running in each state.
Good luck to all candidates tomorrow!
Seriously? I got endorsed? HAHAHAHA! AWESOME!
Very glad I clicked this...nice pic 😛
Consider me for Georgia 🙂
