Join the new world

Introduction
It’s congressional election time once again, and I am announcing my bid to run for election in the state of Massachusetts. I am again running with an endorsement from the Federalist Party and I am asking for your support as well. Before we go further, here are some of my accomplishments that will help me to continue to serve as a congressman.

Facts about me
Born 19.10.2009 – Day 699 of the New World
Proud member of the Federalist Party
Member of the Federalist Outreach Program
Active member of the Training Corps serving as the executive officer of the 321st platoon
Three terms of congressional experience (Montana once and Alaska twice)

What can I do for you?
This seems to be a fitting question to address in a congressional campaign. It is the duty of a congressman to serve as the voice of the people in the government, and I want to take that responsibility seriously. I have made past commitments that can be found here that I still feel are vital to success in congress. Rather than saying the same things I have already said, I want to continue to build on what I can do to serve.

We are now in the midst of eRepublik rising, and no matter what the individual view is the fact remains that the government will continue to play an important role in the success and development of the citizens. Congress members face the responsibility to stay informed and active in helping to shape the development of our nation. The long-time issues of player retention, player education, economic development, and national security are still important, and these issues continue to change along with the game. I promise to remain committed to the needs of our nation as we move forward to new opportunities.

Player development and retention remain vital to the success of our nation because at its core this nation is a collection of individuals working toward a shared vision and common goal. The transition to eRepublik rising did drive some people away from the game, but it also presents a new game that invites new players. I am committed to learning alongside the new and veteran players as we find new aspects of the game to pursue and new ways to better our nation.

The economy and foreign relations are also central issues right now. Economically we are all learning what is working and what is changing with the new game. There are many aspects of V1 that continue to work, but there are also new considerations in the game. While the economy will take steps to normalize itself, congress has the opportunity to help direct development in a way that is best for the nation. Like many of you, I know the concerns associated with working and wages as they apply to individual buying power and long-term financial goals. As a business owner I can also identify with the concerns faced by other managers. I hope to build on my own experiences and understanding to make the best economic decisions available for our country.

Though the war module just recently returned, the role of foreign policy has not wavered in terms of importance. While there are certainly nations whose objectives and views clash with our own, there are also many with whom we can share purpose and direction. We should not sacrifice our own identity or purpose, but at the same time we cannot expect to succeed without the help of others. Foreign relations contribute to our national defense as well as our economic prosperity, and I will use this view to help guide my actions if elected.

Finally, I am committed to being open with my actions in office. I hope to maintain an open channel of communication whenever you have a question or concern. I am seeking election to a position where I represent the needs of the people, so help me help you by making your voice heard. If you have a question let me know. If you like what I’m doing let me know. If you do not like what I’m doing DEFINITELY let me know so that I can address the issue and better serve my role.

Closing statements
I ask for your votes on Election Day, and I promise to reciprocate your trust with accountability and dedication. As I said, please contact me with any questions you have. I hope to be given the opportunity to help our nation continue to grow and to provide every citizen with the game experience they are looking for. Above all, keep yourself informed. Your vote and your activity are both precious resources that need to be treated as such. Thank you for reading this platform.

I am running for congress in Massachusetts and I hope to be able to count on your vote.
