"This is Tom Tucker, with a Channel 5 special report. We now go to Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa, Tricia?"
"Tom, reporters from around the world have gathered at the steps of the Tennessee Valley Authority's world headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee. They are awaiting Lt. General John Jay, who has yet to emerge from what appears to be a high level board meeting. All news outlets are aware of at the moment is that the general has big news to unveil and wants the world to know it. It appears that he is emerging from the entrance of the building now, let's listen."
Fellow citizens,
We have recently had to endure fail upon fail from our great government. This is unacceptable. Uncle Sam and his hasty planning have led us down the road to public shame. The PEACE propaganda machine has had plenty to work with Sam's diplomatic and strategic skills coming into question, resulting in the seventh impeachment attempt in three and a half presidents. The upper levels of this government are out of control in some areas, and as a citizen of this country it worries me. I think it should worry you too. The military has lost all confidence in our leadership. The congress has argued endlessly and rejected some ideas that are good for this country. This needs to stop.
America needs to witness a coming together of the federal government. No, I am not saying we all have to agree on every minute detail nor should we, but politicians need to realize that this country comes first, not its officials. We need the defense of this country to be a priority, as PEACE is our new neighbor. We cannot let our borders be compromised due to ill planned defense. It is up to you, me, congress, and all that live within our borders to unite together. I am of the firm belief that the President of our great nation should hold the trust of the American people. Congress holds an enormous amount of power in this game, and it needs to be balanced by a trustworthy and transparent executive branch.
And that time is now!
I, John Jay, being of questionable mind, but excellent body, here and now announce my candidacy for the office of President of the United States. I have assumed a leadership role in our military for many months and I have a good working relationship there. I feel now is the time to bring a new approach to D.C. and I am up to the challenge..... But that's not all!!!
The Vice President.
Until recently, not a very strong position. When he took over the spot two terms ago, Joe Dasmoe set a precedent for hard working Vice-Presidents. As a result, he is my choice to assume that position again. Over the months, I have come to respect deeply this patriot's work ethic and dedication to both government and military. I have come to know him well and I know that he will truly be the people's Vice-President, as he has shown in the past. This officially begins the John Jay/Joe Dasmoe campaign for the April election. Joe an I will bring a new era for America, one of strength, prosperity and unity.
Which brings me to my platform. I'm going to hit on a few points that I feel are important for Americans to consider when you cast your vote on April 5th.
Military/ATLANTIS
I want to open this by commenting on the latter first. Many of you feel this alliance is crumbling and the US should leave it. Many are outraged that we actually paid fines for starting a war. Well, I only slightly disagree, and I will explain.
ATLANTIS is our alliance. To be frank, without this alliance, we would probably be swallowed up in another imperialistic takeover by PEACE. Let's face it, these people are our friends, and more often than not they come to our aid when needed. As a nation, I believe we should stand by this alliance for the time we are a part of it. As far as the fines go, ATLANTIS has a charter, and we must follow it. We cannot walk around doing things directly against a charter and expect to be exonerated for it without prejudice. I agree with Sam's move on this, because if we cannot honor a charter, then what kind of country are we? Sam took the steps we needed to take to keep ourselves safe. For that, I cannot knock him.
However, I am unhappy with the response by ATLANTIS to the Mexican war, and especially angry at people like Dish, who showed his traitorous side by supporting the fight AGAINST the very country he led. I do believe this was the tipping point in America's relations with ATLANTIS. With that said, I am open to a third alliance forming, and maybe being a part of it. I think it may be time for a third alliance, as the PEACE/ATLANTIS feud is tired, at best. We Americans have always been leaders in the e-world for change, and if a third alliance would prove beneficial to the US, it should and would be considered.
The military as it stands now.
I must say I have been honored to lead the Marines that I have. Being Lt. General in an outfit as good as this has been fun. Well, not all fun, but at least the people under me are some of the best in the game. They need to be properly supported and funded. If elected, I will support all three branches of our Armed Forces, because after all placing weapons into the hands of our soldiers is key to strengthening our fighting men and women.
I have seen this military grow exponentially under Sam's {ahem} "leadership." We have raised our strength to 3.04 overall, from 2.86 before the Mexican war. You may say, "But John Jay, a .18 jump doesn't sound like much. Why are you touting such a minute number?" Easy answer: .18 is a hell of a lot when you consider our overall population of 12K plus. The battles in Mexico went a long way towards strengthening us as a nation. Although Sam's planning was poor, the end result was just what we needed.
Two problems come to the forefront with the state of our military: Lack of funding and the need for better organization.
The Army is improving under the leadership of Smyrstar, with more to be done. The NG and the Marines are coming along very well, and that is a credit to their generals. BUT. There will be change. I want to make it understood before I start, I do not intend to remove/add leadership nor do I intend to affect it's structure in anyway. I will propose that a permanent communication line be implemented with a complete system of record keeping and liability for each branch. I will instruct the Joint Chiefs to form an accounting department for each branch, to work out of the QMG's office. We need accountability, we need bean counters. With the nationalization of weapons companies and supply lines being stretched daily to meet the needs of our troops, we need people there that will only be concerned with the proper and recorded use of your tax dollars.
On the subject of the JCS, I will be keeping Joeph in the Chairman's spot as long as he will have it. I believe he has shown the leadership in past months to warrant his retention to this position. Among others, Leroy Combs will also be kept, as he is an excellent advisor. I will call on the JCS to revamp lines of communication and ask them to place the most active and dependable soldiers in leadership roles.
Finally, RAWR. I have been presented with many different plans to make permanent RW's and peaceful troop building a priority. I have looked into these plans and have decided all are plausible. Long story short, look for agreements and deals to be struck by my administration with our direct neighbors to build our armies cheaply and efficiently. This is key in making our army the strongest in the world.
Foreign Relations
Foreign relations in my mind have been kept acceptable by the current SoS and his staff. However, concurrent with my theme, there will be change. I have tapped the future of the Conservative Party, Time, to be my Secretary of State. He has shown before the leadership qualities needed in this position. Together, with his staff, he will bring us to the next level in foreign relations.
Goals: To make peace a reality with our current enemies that want it. Mexico, heh, let's face it, strategic and CIC blunders put us well behind in this war before it even started. As for Portugal, I personally apologize to you for our behavior. An all out attack on your country for the "lulz" was completely unnecessary, nor was it advised. Negotiating a peaceful end to this conflict is high on my list of priorities. It is time that nations we are in conflict with actually get to negotiate with adults, as the way it should be.
To all governments in the e-worl
Economy
The overall state of the economy is good. The PANEC taxes have not made us rich, but have given us leeway in military operations that we did not have before. The value of the dollar continues to increase, and overall I have to credit the current Economic Council for their efforts. BUT. The days of the Economic Council being ignored by POTUS are over.
I have selected Jewitt to head my EC. I mean let's face it, the guy is simply amazing. Definitely my favorite Jew. He brings his vast knowledge of our economy to the post, and will be my eyes and ears on all economic concerns. I will petition him from day one to have the EC come up with a tax plan that will reduce the income tax while balancing it with VAT and import increases to maintain our income, while taking the pressure off our working people. Because in reality, these are the people paying for our fun. Business owners all over the US know how to evade these taxes. I am tired of the country prospering on the backs of the new citizen. Once completed, the EC will work with the congress to pass these taxes into law, and put more money back into our population's pockets.
Lulz
It's funny. I hear this is the number one issue with America in the e-world today. To be honest, lack of lulz has never been an issue in my game. I am a marine, active in my political parties, as well as a business owner for the organization Tennessee Valley Authority. As it sits right now, I have all the lulz I need, because I make them for myself. Now I know I cannot please everyone, but I would like to hear your ideas on how to make YOUR game more enjoyable. This country was built on fun, with a little seriousness sprinkled in. Let's get back to that.
In conclusion,
We as a country need to heal. The past administrations have done nothing but frustrate and confuse the nation as a whole. It is time for change.
Past presidents have used the gullibility of their citizenry to do what they need to do to make a name for themselves. It is time for change.
Past administrations have tried to control congress, to the point where congress is now fighting back. It is time for change.
Military funding is at an all time low, and impeachment has riddled our government. It is time for change.
In the upcoming ten days, there will be a lot said about how this country is on the right track, and nothing should be changed. You will hear that past presidents have just been misunderstood, and they were doing just fine until someone screwed it up. You will hear that this country does not need change, it needs the status quo. WRONG. None of my opponents will change this government like I will. It is time for change, and if you vote John Jay/ Joe Dasmoe on April 5th, You will see your vote put to work.

John Jay for President !
Good Luck JJ
Good Luck JJ!
Nicely done 😉
Thank you for the opportunity John, I will do my best.
Joe, interesting policies. I will keep you in mind when the time comes.
Good luck
o/ guys🙂
Joe, it is clearly more of an honor for me to work for than the other way around. I'm grateful for your acceptance🙂
John Jay for President !
Sorry John, you won't be getting my one insignificant vote with Joe as your running mate. He already abandonded the VP position once because it was 'too demanding' (at least that was the 'official' given reason). I see no reason to put him back into a job he walked out on less than a month ago. If he couldn't handle it then, why will he be able to handle it now? The pressures of the eWorld haven't changed any.
Holy wall of text Batman.
Nice Article.
JJ FOR PRES
WICKED HAWT!!!
JJ for President
Great article!!!
Good luck JJ!!!!!!!
John Jay for President !
Joe left the Vice Presidency due to Sam's incompetence and his constant making of Joe do HIS job. Sorry, but Joe is more than qualified to be my VP, and will not be leaving this time. I plan on doing my job myself.
The miraculous Revshawn hereby garners his support for John Jay. Salute!
Thank you all for your support, it is much appreciated.😃
Check this out too!

Good luck, sirs. 🙂
Good luck, John. It's nice to see some sincere thought (dare I call it "planning"?) going into the running of our country, a welcome change from the apparent knee-jerk politics and diplomacy we've all had to endure recently. While I don't necessarily agree with every point you've outlined, I really respect the work you and Joe have put into coming up with a thorough plan for the eUSA going forward. Good work, and good luck next month!
Jay / Joe? That's a real dream team! You've got my vote for sure 🙂
Oh and Joe showed some backbone by resigning under Sam's term - nothing else.. All n00bs should learn to read and think before writing.. :/
Good luck JJ!
John/Joe 04/09 - Two great leaders and two great eMericans.
Just a comment to Chrisvalla - you know nothing of what you speak.
That was not great JJ. There is no change you will do the same as Sam.
Now endorsed by Socialist Freedom Party
Johannes Jé for April.
John/Joe is an epic win for eUSA.
Please VOTE.
You can play and have fun to😇

Tnx!
"I have tapped the future of the Conservative Party, Time, to be my Secretary of State."
Lol
I don't know what you heard but after I step down its most likely going to be Matooze leading the party.
I dunno DF, I hear you are getting voted out for running when your party is against it...so I am pretty sure I haven't heard what you said there.
Time is a leader that serves his constituency, and responds to their wants. I'm sure he would be a stellar replacement.
John Jay
Best of Luck JJ
Hold on! Someone who plans ahead by picking cabinet leaders BEFORE the election? Sounds good, JJ.
Voted.
I will think about it...

As stated by several interviewee's:
Question: "Do you support USA being kb'd from ATLANTIS if JJ becomes president"
Answers: "Definetly"
good luck JJ you got my vote mate
HMm, I dont see you on the current ballot. Hopeing for Lib endorsement?
John Jay, if you'd be willing to answer a question in response to this article, I have one for you.
Recently, several American citizens have gone around the world in an effort to assist foiling various PEACE backed and PEACE lead political take overs. In the wake of The Mexican-American War, PEACE aggression seems to have increased across the globe.
If you were to be elected, what are your goals, if any, towards PEACE?
Thank you for your time, John Jay. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
Good luck JJ!
Good luck!

Well, beyond obvious grammar issues displayed by my friend heymans, I have been assured by current representatives that are privy to ATLANTIS forums and inner workings that this is simply not true. Jealousy is very unbecoming Heymans. Maybe this is why the UK told you to leave?

Thank you for your time, John Jay. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
As I have said in my article, I am open to working with reps of PEACE to ensure our stability and keep the aggression away from our homeland. Our past reps have been inept in dealing with PEACE and they are understandably irritated with the outcomes consistently. I will not say I will always agree with them, but I will try to work with them to find a middle ground. There is a lot of history between these two alliances, and the bottom line is without communication, any talks will be doomed to fail. I have spoken to many reps of PEACE, most of which say they are eager to have a competent representative to speak to in times of disagreement. If I am elected, I cannot guarantee peace between the two, but I will try my hardest to bring understanding to the table, and come back with agreements that everyone can live with.
You've got my vote.
Giving control of the military to congress is a bad move on scrabman's part. The armed forces would become slow to respond at best and completely unresponsive at worst.
Josef: It already is. The military is seeing the effect immediately from this "run everything from the forums" president. I waited 10-12 hours yesterday for approximately 60 gold to send my Marines to battle. HOURS. I mean honestly, Sam was bad, but at least when we asked for money to fight the battles that were planned, we got it immediately.
Another thing I would like to add to my campaign: If I am elected, I will transfer back everyday operation of this country to IRC. This is a REAL TIME game. It needs to be run like a real time government. One thing I can guarantee, the military will NEVER wait for funds to defend our country, or allies.
JJ, they didn't tell me to leave. I wanted battle hero, and to have a military rank that isn't Captain. 😉 They haz ingenius military command that wants non-strong soldars
Yay!
Yay!
All of this sounds nice, but a)who would be included in the invitation list, b)what kind of political ramifications from ATLANTIS and PEACE would you predict happening, and c)what would be the alliance's main goal in terms of world affairs?
Quote: All of this sounds nice, but a)who would be included in the invitation list, b)what kind of political ramifications from ATLANTIS and PEACE would you predict happening, and c)what would be the alliance's main goal in terms of world affairs?
A. Any unaligned nation would be considered of course. But I said "I am open to a third alliance forming, and maybe being a part of it." Nothing is set in stone, and until an option is brought to me of a third alliance, I will continue to help ATLANTIS grow and prosper.
B. I believe if we can leave ATLANTIS amicably while negotiating with PEACE to help us make this a better world, I believe the ramifications of such an event would be minimal. It would have to be handled carefully of course, and this I can do.
C. World Affairs. I think the main goal would be to establish ourselves on the world front. Establish friendships with both PEACE and ATLANTIS countries. We cannot make an impact until we prove ourselves as an alliance to be capable of relations with ANY government.
Of course, as I said, this is pure fantasy until a legitimate plan can come to fruition.
JJ April '09!!
I agree with all your plans, JJ:
1) Economic: Who better than Jewitt?! If anyone is to count those pennies, leave it to the Jew himself...
2) PEACE Issues: Well said and it is long overdue.
3) LULZ: Meh, not everyone will ever be truly happy.
4) ATLANTIS: There is much more work to be done... even more than what you have stated... but one step at a time.
5) VP Selection: Wonderful choice. He knows when enough is enough and isn't afraid to take the necessary steps to ensure his/as well as the eUS's good names!
This should be quite the election and let me say, Good Luck!
