There's a Storm(in) Brewing in Washington!

Day 757, 06:26 Published in USA USA by Maxim Spart
Greetings Americans,
I am currently running for a congressional seat in Washington in order to represent our citizens at the national level. Since I have joined this game I have learned a great deal, especially being a full time Seal Team 6 member under the leadership of Parts in the Grey Wardens Platoon. I was a recruitment team member for the UIP, and I was able to quickly recognize the importance of recruiting Americans not only for politics, but for our military as well. Recently, I have helped create the Bull Moose Party, I have served as its CFO, and am currently its Chief Advisor. I just earned my 2nd society builder medal showing my dedication to recruitment. I also have military experience fighting in Iran, Russia, etc. All of which has given me a pervasive viewpoint that I wholeheartedly believe will help me help this country as a senator.



Foreign Policy:
At this moment, we should heed the wise words of George Washington and not fall into entangling alliances. Proof of this very problem lies in what Spain did to France. Whom do we support in such an event, Spain who have been our solid allies or France, a new potential ally. Either way we scorn one of the two by picking sides or staying neutral. We, as a nation, have considered a close relationship with France, but due to our ties to EDEN we do not have 100% ability to solely do what is in the best interest of our nation – we have undermined our own sovereignty. If we pursue the foreign interests of other nations/alliances we will not have the necessary freedom to challenge the other top nations for the seat as the world power. Now having said that we are already tied to EDEN, as a man of my word and a believer in honor and integrity, I believe that we cannot end this alliance abruptly and so I will not speak against EDEN as a Congressman unless that is the majority will. I do, however, support our alliance with Canada seeing as it is the most logical alliance that we can have.

When I'm in Congress the citizens of Washington will never again flee for their lives. Our enemies will use whatever methods of transportation we have not destroyed.



Domestic Policy:
My plans are to continue recruiting players to join eUSA. I have already recruited over 50 players and 20 have hit level 6. Players are the bread and butter of our country and we should always place a huge emphasis on doing whatever it takes to increase our population. We cannot allow ourselves to forget that we must continue to support and maintain every program aimed at player retention and aid for these new players. There is strength in numbers, and I see no reason why we, as eUSA citizens cannot -or should not - use this simple truth to our advantage. We also need a major cleaning of the eUS Forum. This is not friendly in any fashion to new players who are looking for quick information. It's similar to the RL USA Tax Code. We do not need that in the eUS.


Endorsements:
“Stormin is an up and coming member of the eUSA's eRepublik community. He works extremely hard mentoring new players and always offers them advice when they need it. He is an active member of SEAL Team 6 and is always willing to take the fight to the enemy when he is in battle. The eUSA congress and the American population as a whole would be well served to have such a fine player working for them in government. “ – Josh Frost (Former eUSA President and Seal Immortal)

"With his candidacy, Stormin brings a wealth of in-game experience and gaming pragmatism. Stormin shows a strong understanding of the mechanics of the game and how to best steer the country through a very complex World War. The country will need leaders who can thoughtfully analyze world affairs and implement policy that serves America's interests and protects its sovereignty. We will be fortunate to have Stormin serve in the 25th US Congress." - Lieutenant Scheisskopf (Chief Editor of Stars and Stripes Journal)

"Stormin has proven to be a noble and honorable friend to the Brolliance. His society builder medal testifies to his love for his Bros. Some of those citizens were eCanadians, and you can bet he will do whatever he can to help any new citizens. You can't go wrong with Stormin in Congress." – TemujinBC (Candadian Crimson Canuck)

"Stormin is an active, knowledgable, and involved citizen who I am sure would be a credit to Congress." -StygianSteel (Colonel of the eIDF Training Corps, Former UIP Party President,Former Three Term Senator)

"I had the pleasure of leading Stormin in TST6-3. He quickly proved to be eager to learn, competent, and intelligent. And was soon moved out of the training forces. He wants our nation to grow, and has shown this by his actions both in game and in real life." - Sleeve (TST6 Platoon Leader)





I hope for your support on Christmas Day and I look forward to helping to this nation grow into the #1 nation in eRepublik.
-Stormin
