Time for experience: A new White House contender
America,
Today, I come to you with an offer; an experienced leader, with an experienced team, ready to tackle the tough challenges this nation faces.
Harrison Richardson and Ligtreb humbly submit our joint application for the White House this month.
This has been, without a doubt, one of the most eventful terms for a President that I can remember. We started off losing our elected leader, Mizu o7, just days into his term. We dealt with an INCI group that were new to our country and still have to integrate into our society. We continually deal with a new alliance structure that tests our foreign policy experts in trying ways every day.
The events of last night are fresh in all of our minds. Some overreacted and others acted within their power to defend their country. I support GoalieBCSC’s actions last night and think he made the proper decision to utilize the powers given to him. The problems with INCI stem from a lack of communication between the two groups. They thought they were required to run a candidate in each state; they were not aware of the distinction between blocker and candidate. For weeks, myself and others have done our best to communicate with INCI but a language barrier does exist. I do believe that there was some good faith in the INCI leadership last night. I do believe that they tried to follow the rules of the FEC in placing candidates in every state, so that Serb PTO’ers couldn’t, and I do believe they tried to control their voters to no avail. As with two clickers, some of their voters seemed to vote without their control. This is a mistake we can accept once. On the flip side, INCI should not complain about the FEC presence in the election. The US Government reacted to what it saw was a threat and acted swiftly. The top 5 sans INCI came together and worked well. This is progress. And while INCI is not totally at fault for some things, for others they are. INCI must work to integrate. They were offered spots in Seal Team 6 but quit because they didn’t want to work in communes as requested, just like every other Seal. They continually disregard proper Immigration protocol by blindly approving anyone they want. They cannot claim ignorance from the rules because I personally briefed them on the rules. That is not acceptable and the actions are paramount to a threat to the security of this nation. Take this as a stern warning from a presidential contender:Cease and desist in circumventing the rules of this nation, INCI.
We need a president with the forward thinking to lead this nation. We need a president who does not merely react to the changes of the world but rather shapes them. I have ideas for this term for how to deal with our toughest challenges. In regards to the recent military amendment, I have plans to empower the Secretary of Defense to act as a true military manager. As in real life, the Secretary will maintain operational control over the military. The powers that the President has will be shifted to the Secretary. This is not to say the President won’t remain the Commander-in-Chief, but his proxy, the Secretary, will manage the day-to-day affairs from the Executive side in conert with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. This de-politicizes the Presidency and gives the President more time to focus on other, more urgent issues. Further, it will allow the President to pick someone with a strong military background to manage the military. This quells the fears of the military of a politico running their entire operation. I have my Secretary picked and he is someone with a strong military and political background. Further information on other issues will be provided in an official platform to be released later.
I am preparing a cabinet as we speak. I am not asking for endorsements from those who I solicit help from. In any case, I am often asking them not to endorse me if they weren’t planning to anyway. I ask these people to work not because I need their support but rather because the day I am elected, I plan to hit the ground running tackling the challenges we face. These challenges take experience. They take the experience of an old hand.
I am sure this article will be met with criticism from every corner on my age and how I should let newer players take a chance. This is legitimate criticism and I say this is a decision I did not make quickly nor lightly. I spoke to close confidants for days leading up to this announcement. I was urged by many to run. Some sought an experienced person to run for the highest office in our trying times. Others yet sought a unity candidate that the top 5 parties could rally around. I do not plan to run for more than one term and, just as in previous administrations, my term will be focused on developing new leaders. The administration will look nothing like previous ones. New players will be given chances. If you think an old player running stymies new players from advancing, I urge you to ask PigInZen, Woxan, and Chocolate McSkittles how they thought I stymied their advance. They all served under me and would argue I helped them achieve the Presidency.
I have experience as the leader of a multi-nation alliance. I have experience as the Chief Executive as one of the nation’s largest conglomerates. I have experience as a soldier in the Airborne, Army, and Training Corps. I have experience as a diplomat. Most important, I have experience being the President, and above all else, that is what we need right now.

Again? Yes, again.
Harrison Richardson would like to apply for the Country President position.
Again? Yes, again.
Seriously, there is nobody better. I support HR and Ligtreb 100%.
This is the kind of leadership we need!
This is so great.
do want
who's the guy who was assigned to deal with the INCI?
I forget who, can someone remind me?
anyways, good luck, see you on the campaign trail
^lol
Liggie. ^____^
v
I would vote this ; )
let me know if you've got some job openings
"This is a mistake we can accept once"
Wrong.
You lost my vote there. National security is the utmost importance for a president, breaches cannot be tolerated.
I ant tradition pics in all of your articles.
Good morning America!
Good luck, HR.
... again!?
v
bro, im down
I'm glad to be a part of this team.
No vote, unsub
Read this https://docs.google.com/View?id=dgc6tq9n_6fb755zgg
The truth about franco.
Ligtreb can do better.
To above: That was over 2 years ago as a different citizen.
Seriously? Wtf...
ccc in ci we trust ccc
ccc in ci we trust ccc
This guy sure will keep the military in line.
Still, I'd rather have a ligtreb/HR ticket, but I suppose we can't always have it all...
i'm liking this, please don't be a lulz run
I would rather a Ligtreb/HR ticket, too. Alas, this is as much time as he can devote.
I'll take the monopoly man in whatever office he can give us.
This is the first decent ticket I have seen.
Dejavu..
The day I decide to come back to the game, HR IS RUNNING 4 PRESIDENT?
I'm not ready for another executive epeen measuring..
back to the grave with me
Bye erep
I'd vote this, as long as you keep iNCi in line.
voted
I can't believe that CHS is supporting this guy. But - let's put it this way. The faux national security threat is the last refuge of the scoundrel - and HR is the biggest scoundrel in this game. You're trying to tell me that the INCI were organized enough to win 34 seats legitimately, but not organized enough to control all their voters ? And that they gave the little pipsqueek organizations that call themselves eUSA "political parties" quite a scare because they couldn't speak English well enough to properly participate in rigging the elections ? This is the leadership America wants ? This is the leadership America deserves ? Pretty soon, we'll all be speaking Turkish.
voted
You suck at quitting
But good luck to you, not that you need it.
No. Just... no.
lol if HR wins I will rage quit.
I support this from the grave
So let me get this straight your now making excuses for INCI? Somehow they are compitent enough to run an orginizes business scheme, military operations and run for congress one month but the next they some how dont understand the congressional election process?
That doesnt jive. Especially given the attempts last night to mass mail the nation and get more voters. A mistake is one thing, what they did is far far from a mistake and calling it one is insulting to the intelligence of every single player who participated in yesterdays collective efforts.
Of course it doesnt hurt that your the INCI handler and that you suddenly decide you want another crack at the presidents office. I'm sure your be INCI endorsed and voted. Just dont steal anything this time ok?
I feel sorry for Ligtreb in this deal. His reputation will get dragged down into the mud for any and all underhanded deals and misdeeds that happen with INCI in the presidential election should HR/Lig win. He deserves better.
i came so hard
Harrison Richardson would like to apply for the Country President position.
Wait what? You screwed up with the INCI situation and now want everyone to put you in higher office?
Humm... Well at least we know you will be ready to kneel down to get their votes.
INCI isn't endorsing me. I don't expect them to at all.
If that equates to kneeling down, well..
HR/Ligtreb, Good Choice.
HR, second in my heart only to Emerdick was great fun serving under you back in the day, and wouldnlove to again. best of luck, old friend.
HR, you may want to address how iNCi has been bungled this last month. Was it by you? CRoy?
I haven't agreed with everything HR has ever done, but this is a man I personally respect quite a bit. That Liggy guy is trouble though.
None the less, this is a very serious ticket, one of the most exceptional tickets I've ever seen in my days in game.
Be fun to have HR back and involved again.
Funny thing is we all called this shit on IRC yesterday.
"shocker"
ccc in ci we trust ccc
I stopped reading after "humbly", because I knew after that the rest of the article would be anything but.
is Franco going on a record of most US presidencies? What is this now, the 4th term? Anyways good luck.
Sighs...Looking forward to another wasted month.
Maybe Franco will "wake us up" and steal our money again...nothing like taking a huge trip backwards.
Ligtreb can do better than this.
'so that Serb PTO’ers couldn’t,'
let me get this right...
these guys aimed for the majority in congress,BUT ONLY so they could stop 1(ONE) serb from taking a spot in congress? am i correct? this is what youre trying to say? you expect an intelligent being to believe that?
i support glove, but one part of me started supporting you right now, only to see america get PTOed during your term. and it WILL get PTOed, intentionally or unintentionally by the turks. but dont worry, not a single serb will get in the congress ; )
no thank you : /
jk
Glove for presidency
Glove panpa for presidency!
HR for president!
I trust in monopoly man. Y'all have my vote.
nice caps. cummed and voted.
but i didnt read
OH GOD YES
OMG, how many times has HR failed this country? Geez, not again.
HR + ligtreb = massive win
>OMG, how many times has HR failed this country? Geez, not again.
A lot less than ssomo, that's for sure
Glove is love
We've got a lot of butthurt in this room...
V/
very well illustrated !
Hopefully a REAL candidate will emerge who I can vote for. Because if it's HR vs INCI, well, call me a Turk.
NO!
https://docs.google.com/View?id=dgc6tq9n_6fb755zgg
Franco = HR. He robbed us once...lets not let him do it again.
"Hopefully a REAL candidate will emerge who I can vote for. Because if it's HR vs INCI, well, call me a Turk."
Ouch. People would actually choose a PTO over you HR. I think you should re-think your little power grab here.
I've made enemies in the past. I'm fine with that.
Oh, Sweet Baby Jesus, no.
Figs, it's funny cause he's been President twice since then, and generally was considered a good one. He got boned by Scrabman not closing wars, so the invasion started during his term. Also, he raised up a bunch of future Presidents and notable Americans.
Learn some history.
I support this 100%
If only Ligtreb was the presidential candidate.
I just jizzed a little.
ccc in ci we trust ccc
ccc in ci we trust ccc
hell no!
ccc in ci we trust ccc
Switch Ligtreb with HR, then I'd be cool with this ticket.
No. Ligtreb is forever tainted by his association with HR.
If anyone here is saying they are better than HR, than run.
Yeah he messed up, but he's a smart guy. Hell of a president. If you can do better run
hallo
