[WTP] The People for the Congress

Day 2,436, 18:09 Published in USA USA by Disco Musolini


Just as the moon renews itself each month so does the Congressional delegation of We The People. As the term wanes, applications are gathered from party members interested in debating in the boards of Congress, the names and responses are gathered into a single article, and The People rank their top three choices over a 48 hour period during the party’s primary. When the primary closes, Party President Hale26 will order the We The People’s congressional slate according to the results of the election.

Below you will find our congressional primary candidates listed. The first group are citizens who have not served before in an eUS Congress. Beside their name you will find their score on a brief quiz reviewing the basics of political life in the eUSA and congressional procedure. The second group are members of We The People’s current delegation as well as players who have served previously in eUS Congress.

NEW CONGRESSIONAL HOPEFULS


Why do you want to be a member of Congress?
I have no prior experience, but am willing to participate, learn, and offer my real-life experience steeped with exceeding amounts of patriotism. I would like to enhance my gaming experience by absorbing myself in the eRepublik community. This is not all selfish - I have a sincere desire to make the overall eRepublik experience better for all through my comprehensive involvement.

What will set you apart as a Congress member?
My real-life experience as a legislative researcher and salesperson, 20-year deployed veteran, and continued devotion to country sets me up to a manner that can be translated to the eRepublik (and eUSA) community. I am loyal and organized; dedicated and dependable.

Are you able or willing to use IRC ?
Yes, I'm able and willing to use IRC.

What positions or roles have you held in WTP? Do you hold any positions/roles at the moment?
I have no current position, but am currently being groomed for Media Director.

What eUS past experience do you have in terms of positions, roles, experience, etc.?
None.


Why do you want to be a member of Congress?
Why do I want to be a congress member? Well to start, not because I am a new face in congress that is used way too often I feel. I simply believe I bring a new perspective and believe I can help out eAmerica through my service along with helping to promote activity and our party beliefs.

What will set you apart as a Congress member?
Activity, self control, the ability to understand where people are coming from even if they are wrong. The understanding that not all arguments can be won, even if you are right; sometimes it is better to be right and walk away than to be an ass and keep at it with someone who will never change their mind. It is a waste of time and resources to preach to those who wish to preach to you. Always try, but never harass them, even if they harass you. I also feel I am pretty level headed and am aware of the agendas others might have and have zero tolerance for people straying from the goals they were elected to pursue, run on your own if you plan on not supporting your party.

Are you able or willing to use IRC ?
Yes, and I use IRC frequently.

What positions or roles have you held in WTP? Do you hold any positions/roles at the moment?
None currently. Would like to even if I do or do not get the chance to run/get elected.

MU Regiment Captain
