Texas, Here I come! (And Other news)

I can’t be held down 🙂

HELLO AMERICA!

It’s been a while since I last wrote an article. I decided (Ok, I sort of got ordered too) to not write an article for a bit to avoid another Famous Point. But come on, you can never see the last of me, you’d all miss the articles too much ;3

So, what’s on the agenda today?

1) – JK in Congress: Round 2!
2) – How Congress has been for me so far
3) – My take on the Chile/Argentina Situation

Lets get the show on the road!



1) – JK for Congress again!

So, last month, I finally got elected to congress (With a little help from certain people), and I’ll get on to what I did during my first month as a congressman in the next section.

But JK’s hunger for Congress not sated! JK wants into Congress again! And AMP has seen fit to do so, letting me run in my new home, the lone star state of Texas! (again). Now, I’m not going to bore you all with promises I can’t keep, such as making tax a certain level, but I can make promises I will keep! –

• I Promise I will accept only IES approved Citizenship requests
• I promise to engage in conversation with other congressmen in matters
• I promise I will continue to listen to any questions my constituents pose me
• I promise I will strive for the betterment of my country!

If that sounds like a cause you can get behind, then come the 25th of March, vote for John Killah in the Oil Rich state of Texas!





2) – My first month in Congress

First thoughts – It can be ****ing intimidating xD. No seriously, when I first got there, I signed in and did nothing but read for the first week. There were many experienced congressmen there so I left it to them to discuss matters so I could watch and learn (I’m one of those people who learn by watching others)

But slowly, I began to offer up my own voice. I signed up to the CBO Donation list (Which I’ve since finished my 2 proposals for) before I really got into the debates. Now, one misconception is that congress is just a bitchfest and nothing gets done. You’d be 1/4 correct. Oh yes, Congress can be a right bitchfest (Pfieffer’s attacks can be really personal), but they always include at least some degree of facts and point making.

Oh, and stuff gets done. Just look at the Public Congress boards and look how we’ve changed taxes, made regular donations, approved MPP’s and even voted on replacing a CBO Director who was inactive.
Congress is a good place to offer your opinions (Provided they’re not trolling opinions and actually have some sort of concrete foundations).



3) – Chile/Argentina Conflict – JK’s Take.

So, we’ve all heard the news by now – Chile has been kicked out of TERRA by a near unanimous decision.

First off, “Near Unanimous” … not everyone agreed. Infact, Russia made it public that they voted AGAINST the measure (That must of taken some pretty big balls, kudos to Russia). But now we’re going to get into the dirty side of it all.

I am completely against what happened. I’ve been looking at the arguments and I can safely say that what has happened is pathetic and is tarnishing our (USA) image of being fair, loyal and trustworthy. Why? Because we sided with a neutral nation, who are not only neutral, but EX-TERRA. Yeah, that’s right, we took the side of a nation who left our alliance, over the side of an ally.

It gets worse, but I personally don’t have the time, nor the patience to go into detail. Instead, allow me to link you to a better article about this – written by Blank Keating.

A new segment in my paper, The Guests’ Corner will be a special place where people can talk briefly about anything erep related. It’s a place where I can help bring them out into the media splotlight

Todays Guest! – Michael Lauer

I want to highlight some new changes in the party that are happening. With the fun department and education department being folded into the new Retention Department, we have been asked by Party President David Wilson to create and implement some new programs. The program i wish to highlight today is the Mentorship Program. This is an awesome new program where AMP’ers help AMP’ers. Those who are new to the game may find themselves stuck in the “3-click limbo”, but the Mentorship program is designed to show people new to the game and to the party just how much more to Erepublik there than just work, train and fight. New members can sign up to receive a mentor who will walk them through the game and answer any questions they may have. Mentors will also show new players how things are done in AMP and help them along on the path they wish to follow. Interested in Military Affairs? Want to become a Congressman? Want to build a company that would have Bill Gates taking notes? No problem! Our mentors can help you get the most out of Erepublik and AMP. So sign up for a mentor and get started on your path!

To sign up to receive a mentor or if you would like to volunteer to become a mentor, visit this link:
