Swiss Liberal Party News

Number One

Most of you don't know me, there was not a lot of time for introductions upon my arrival and since then I have been very busy with the Presidential campaign.
I am George Armstrong Custer, a Captain in the US Cavalry.
I am here at the request of your former Country President and Party President, Jimakos-Thess. After his Impeachment he desired to leave Switzerland, but did not want the Party to naturally fall to the member next on the list.
I was selected for this mission because of my reputation for honesty and straightforwardness. My political experience has already proven useful, as has my background in Intelligence.
My mission is primarily to hold the Party President seat until your next PP election October 15, also to assist Party leaders in organizing and strengthening the SLP, and to assist Party member and Congressman Giorgio Montana in his bid for Country President.

On that last point, Giorgio's player account was hacked, so he's out of the race. Even before that, I had been in contact with other candidates and Party leaders to get a quick understanding of the political climate here, then to talk about consolidating support to a single "good guy" candidate to avoid losing to the "bad guy" due to a vote split.
Now with Giorgio out, and Julian Anderson of the Switzerland Reform Party also throwing his, and his Party's, support to Penguin4512 of the Swiss Freedom Party, I'm confident that the Free Swiss people have a fair chance of installing a sharp and progressive man as President of Switzerland.

After this Presidential election on October 5th, we will get to work on our.. your SLP.
I will interview any Party member who wishes to run for Party President, and bring all potential candidates together in IRC to discuss what is best for the SLP's future. We will, if there are more than two hopeful candidates, narrow the field to two before the election.
The SLP needs infrastructure work. It's great that we.. you have a Party Org and Newspaper, and a dedicated IRC channel. Next up will be a Party Forum.
The SLP has enough alive members-- discounting deads, zombies, multis and spies-- to be an active and important force in Swiss politics. There are enough of you to designate jobs and responsibilities, in the interest and toward the goal of building the SLP and its members and becoming greater contributors to this nation.
We don't have the word "free" in our name, but we should always have that on our minds. And when others see our name they should also think "free" because they should know that the SLP stands for, and fights for and gives it's all for, a Free Switzerland; Today, Tomorrow, and Forever.


Penguin4512 is the "good guy" candidate; do not vote for me!
When Giorgio's account was hacked I had to remove him as a candidate-- it would be insane to campaign for and elect a player who cannot access his account. I was unable to just remove him, only to replace him with myself. I am wearing an avatar which clearly declares my intentions.
