[WO4PotUS] A New Dawn

Day 2,228, 20:12 • Published in USA Poland • by Wild Owl

Hey America,

The year of 2013 brought with it many ups and downs for eUSA as a nation. At times, we excelled both domestically and internationally, winning wars, liberating regions and giving all we had for our allies. However, we witnessed some lows too that we, as a country, had never witnessed before, including our wipe and not being able to make Congress for the first time in eRepublik history. In short, 2013 was a mixed bag of a year for us, with the middle portion of the year being particularly rough while we did reasonably well in the initial and latter stages of the year.

Those of you that know me well are aware that I have been thinking about a Presidential run for quite some time now, but the timing just never seemed right, and I refuse to run for any position I'm not fully able to commit myself to. Thankfully, my RL schedule is almost completely free of any serious activities that would keep me from eRep. Equally important is the fact that we as a nation need to consolidate the gains made during the NewAzazel presidency as we move forward into 2014. While America as a country has generally been known as fickle and unreliable in international circles for its Foreign Policy in the past, we have been able to set out and achieve a realistic set of goals in the FA arena recently that we need to keep building upon in the months to come. It is also important that we keep giving due attention to our domestic programs, keeping our nation engaged and motivated as we move forward into a New Year. For this reason, I am nominating myself for the post of President of the United States.

There have been times when we as a nation have been divided into groups and cliques, each ruled by their own King or Queen, promoting their own communities. I believe in America. I believe that we as a country can unite together, getting over our personal differences and biases as we have done in the past as we make our own place in the League of Countries for the better. I do promise to do everything possible as a leader to set an example I hope, and I have faith, that the rest of the nation will follow. For a country as well endowed and blessed as ours, there is no limit to what we can achieve, and I hope to lead our nation to excellence as we continue to regrow and regain our stature internationally.

I hope that you find it in your heart to support me,

Wild Owl
