Politics At Their Worst

Vote for PigInZen for Congress in Pennsylvania!
Anyone who knows me knows that I really try to remain impartial in party politics. This dates back to the failed attempted PTO of France in July of 2009 when some petty politics pretty much screwed over the whole plan. I was incensed. I quit my party at the time and refused to take part in party politics of any kind.
Until now.
My fellow Americans, there comes a time when it is our duty as citizens to decide that party politics aren't as important as national security. I feel the same now as I did during that summer over a year ago. I believe that my decision to run for Congress as a member of the Libertarian Party will hopefully bring attention to what is about to happen.
The USWP, UIP and Federalists have yet to submit a list of candidates to the FEC. Why is this important? Every election the FEC tries to find blockers for open candidate spots. Without this information from the parties the FEC will have a hell of a time trying to sort out who is a "legitimate candidate" sponsored by those parties and who isn't. The USA has avoided a PTO of any sort due to our coordination during election time between adversarial political parties.
And now some parties are ready to piss this away in an attempt to punish the Libertarian Party. It's wrong and I'm not afraid to stand up and be recognized for declaring it so.
Why Punish the Libs?
It's a good question. I believe I have part of the answer. The Libs were the party that gained most from the Revolution-Counter Revolution storyline that Josh Frost and I (along with others in our administration) created at the beginning of our time in office in order to spike interest and give some people a little bit of interesting tales in the media. Because of some benign poltical stuff that occurred behind the scenes before announcing the "Revolucion" CRoy and Claire Littleton were targeted in order to give an air of confrontation to the story. That's all it was. The Libertarians, to their credit, used this to spur interest in their party. The Counter Revolution is OVER, folks, and the Libertarians and Frost's America have a common agenda - that of making the USA stronger than ever. The REBELUTION is real.
It's simple jealousy, folks. Let's add to this equation the fact that Claire Littleton was appointed to the FEC to work with Rod Damon. There are claims that she, as a high-profile Libertarian, cannot be impartial and will use the information from the other parties to the advantage of the Libs somehow. It's bull, and a convenient excuse. There have been party insiders involved in the FEC before but this time we're supposed to believe it's different?
I'll tell you how it's different. The USWP, UIP and Feds are conspiring to snipe out as many Libertarian Congressional candidates as they can. Damn the ATO efforts, they want to punish the Libs for some reason.
What You Can Do
Don't believe the bullshit. Vote your conscience and DON'T SNIPE for poltical purposes only. THINK before you vote.
And vote for PigInZen in Pennsylvania. I could be the only Libertarian elected at this rate. A chance I'm willing to take.
I call out Haliman, Athanaric and Greene12, Party Presidents of the USWP, UIP and Federalist Party and URGE THEM to cooperate with the FEC and stop blaming the Libertarians and Claire Littleton for their petty political objectives.
AMERICA FIRST.

I luv you Piz!
AMERICA FIRST! \o/
Go PiZ!! and vote for me as well Libs! http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/and-he-spoke-of-congress--1610876/1/20
Petty party politics will lead to perpetual pandemonium.
Join or die.
Good luck PiZ! Don't steal all of my votes now 😉
Emerika First.

Since this is a campaign article,
I wanted to know if you had any plans for congress and how active you are going to be in participating/posting in debates and threads.
I've been friends with PiZ since (almost) day 1 of my time on eRep. And now I remember why...
I don't know what any of this means!
\o/
S3RO, I'll be more than happy to write a platform article. I have been in Congress before, you know, and like, have a pretty decent idea about how it works and stuff.
I think Congress needs to be more active not in debating and legislating BS but in outreach and organization. THAT will be my plan for Congress.
PiZ, there's a BIT more to the story bro. But good luck in your run.
this really seems like a fabricated political crisis to win lib votes :/
PiZ is a Lib? I thought Fed.
This is a time when the Revolution and Counter-Revolution come together and make sweet, sweet hot buttered love. ❤ ❤ ❤ Voted.
Seems pretty straightforward to me, Evan. Rod Damon runs the FEC, why don't we ask him?
Agreed and voted. Playing politics with the FEC isn't a smart thing to do. This is a game, that would be real life.
We all hate those guys.
People thought that the role-playing was real? Honestly folks
voted fo sho
I expected better from you PiZ, the least you can do is give people the full story.
You very conveniently omit the Libertarian sniping from the congressional Freeze, the last agreement from the 5 parties. Why should any party cooperate with the Libs when all they do is look out for their own gains?
Or rather
Why is it American First when its the Federalists, Workers, and Independents breaking the agreement....
But its completely negligible when its the Libertarians doing so?
Even the Rebels and the Revolucionaries come together in the best interest of the nation. Also, I fully support Frost's Martial Law plan if the parties named in the article don't comply.
Just a headsup. We've listed that all our states are filled and we have since given an entire list of people who signed up to be candidates (scroll down the fec sheet). You can now run backgrounds if you want, but there is no need for us to give every single detail so early.
Good Luck, you pig disgusting bastard!
Also party politicking is better than PTO-ing foriegn nations. Just sayin'
Martial law? Totally not necessary, but gl.
Might be fun though...
Haliman, Athanaric and Greene12 are pig disgusting traitors.
Emericka first!
I'm glad the USWP have decided to comply... even if it took threatening by the exec to do it.
I've been out of town since early Saturday morning. What did I miss?
wait.... "soldiers into Congress" was decried as a "PTO attempt" when I pushed for simple fair representation.. now it's an official plan?
yes.. "to solve this political problem, elect me to congress".
that'll fix everything.
Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.

I think your blame is misplaced.
I wonder why someone as politically active as Claire would have been picked to help Rod Damon (Who has stayed in my opinion far away from politics).
I can see why the other parties feel there will be an unfair situation brewing and thus fight back the only way they can, by denying to hand over their list.
The solution would be to find a politically neutral person to assist Rod Damon and the FEC instead of someone who seems to constantly draw herself to politics.
I love Rebelution!
This Pig Smells Fishy. If you are punishing these parties, why did you choose Pennsylvania? That is Cromstar's historical state. He is the longest serving congressman and a national hero.
Why not pick one of the party president's states, if you goal is punishment? Cromstar was one of your revolutionary buds. Did you guys have some sort of falling out?
The logic has so many holes, there must be something more going on. I don't know the specific details this month, but I've been in this game for over a year, and I can tell when something funny is goin on.
Tell us the REAL truth.
Rule Number 1: If you are going to role-play, make it for real.
Rule Number 2: Sending mixed messages is bad politics. Don't do it. (People might get the impression you aren't serious, which is usually the case).
Rule Number 3: Don't ever, ever, ever listen to Rod Damon
Rule Number 4: Play to win. This means contest elections, not fixing them so the voters don't have a real choice.
PiZ fails to measure up in all these.
PiZ's Political Purity is among the highest within our nation; as is your own Mr. Seabury. It has been my priveledge to work with PiZ through the framework of the economic Council. the Tech's support PiZ for Congressman, as his leadership will resonate within the halls of the senate, advocating only the betterment of our entire eNation.
John, I volunteered to run in whatever state the Libs needed a candidate. Pennsylvania was suggested and I agreed. Sure, Crommy's running there and I've already talked with him about it. We had a good chuckle.
I'm glad the USWP complied to my urging but I'm sad that it took threats from Josh Frost to get them to do so. It's insane.
Well, honestly I can't blame them. How the hell did Claire get chosen as FEC Chair? *Shudders*
Support the ATO, put the petty things aside!
Syrup, you know me pretty well...
And this isn't "manufactured" folks, despite the inane ramblings from Alexander Hamilton.
Before this article wen't up we let the fec know we had all the spots filled...we'e even talked to people a couple days in advance about it actually. I don't believe this article was necesarry
This makes no sense to me.
However, chaos is a breeding ground for political opportunity.
SGGHays, that's not what I've heard.
PiZ, I had hoped you knew the Feds better than this...
:C
Ligtreb, I honestly have no idea.
Well, that ended well. If ^this^ is all it was.
Vote for no more bullshite, and this lad if he means what he says.
This doesn't really add up. Nor did the 'revolucion' nonsense.
I think people are bored with this game & desperate to breathe life into its deflating corpse.
