Victory in Mississippi, and an Apology to Dear Friends
•
by Bill Brasky
Mississippi, as the polls closed early this morning I was very pleased to see you had selected me to represent you for a second term in Congress. I want to thank you, and I promise to keep up my same level of activity as I had last term (voting on every single proposal, and keeping active in the eUSA forums), and the same dedication to you, my constituents. I would also like to give my respects to Time, my opponent in this race. We never spoke, but it was a clean race regardless, and I have to respect that.
While I should be celebrating my victory and be happy right now, I have a heavy heart. I was recently appointed as the Congressional Party Chairman for the Federalist Party by our new party president, Gaius Julius. I was in charge of selecting the candidates for the Federalist Party, and helping to get them elected.
Unfortunately, I have failed at this job.
My dear friend Voltare, who ran a clean race in Utah, did not win. Indeed, he tied Robert S. Miller, and as such lost by 64 experience points. While I can point to many things that lost Voltare this race (Robert’s 5 vote surge ½ hour before the polls closed, oversleeping voters, etc .etc.) the blame must eventually fall completely on me, and I accept this. My fellow Federalists I hope you can forgive me for this failure, and even if you don’t, know you are my friends forever.
Voltare, I am sorry.
You are my dear friend in this game and I have enormous respect for you. You put your trust in me and I let you down when it mattered most. I can only hope for your forgiveness. You deserve better.
So what does all this mean? I’m taking a step back from eRepublik for a couple days. I need to re-evaluate where I’m going in this country, in my beloved Federalist Party, and in this game. I know I need to rededicate myself to the Mentorship Program before I lose control of it completely, and I need to earn back the respect of my fellow Federalists. I’ve let a couple of people down right in a row, and it has gotten to me, so I need to take a step back from eRep at the moment.
I’ll still be voting on proposals, and working/training, but beyond that, I’ll be away from eRepublik. I just need to clear my head for a little bit. Thank you for understanding Mississippi, Congress, and Federalists.
Mississippi, thank you for re-electing me, I won’t let you down.

It is a shame Robert Miller won. He is a shame to all Congressmen who work hard. For the past two elections he has done NOTHING in Congress. No voting records, no forums post, nothing. 5 votes within the last half hour only leads me to believe this is voter fraud or multi-accounting.
Shame on you, Robert Miller. I really hope you do something this term. You've done nothing the past two months and the last two speakers can attest to this.
Bill this was not your fault we all believed everything was locked up. I know I picked the best person when I chose you to be Congressional chair.
Viva la Feds
Bill no hard feelings it is not your fualt. I ran a good campaign and you fought one heck of a good fight for all of us Feds. You did a great job and I would have you as the Congress Chair for this Party anyday, good pick Gaius.
It is sad Miller won, but there is always next month, and this gives me some time to do some things I have been meaning to do for a while now. Thank you Bill for your hard work and dedication to this party.
You have my respect, and always will.
Long Live the Federalist Party.\!
