Well here we are People, the Socialist Freedom Party is for the first time in its History a Top Tier Party and the SFP owes it all to America, but our job is not finished; we must now work hard to stay a Top Tier Party. There are many Citizen Soldiers who as party members have given of their time and CC to make this happen and to them I say great work, but this party grew because our message has been heard and America has listened; in the last weeks and months we have welcomed many new members who like what they have heard of our beliefs. The SFP has instituted programs such as the Rainy Day Tank & Food Program to take the place of the seldom if ever open Meals on Wheels and Arm America, we have Commune jobs that pay the highest rate in America and a housing program that shelters all of our Comrades. The SFP also has the Bear Cavalry our Privately Funded Militia (PMU), which houses BC's Build A Bear program that helps Citizen Soldiers quickly upgrade their Training Centers to Q4; once that is accomplished it then helps them maintain a 90% gold discount on Training Contracts.
Thanks to our brothers in the Black Sheep Party the SFP currently has 3 Congress Members, combined with the 12 BSP Congress Members we are together the largest voting bloc in Congress. There are currently two threads in Congress, the [Discussion] Congressman Accountability and the [Discussion]SFP and Blacksheep Congressional Accountability. Now what I am asking here is for your involvement in YOUR Government I am simply asking you to read those threads and think for yourself. For me and my Comrades in the SFP and the BSP it is the opening shots in a war of beliefs: Collective Totalitarianism against Socialistic Volunteerism.
The 'eUSA Forum meta government' spends 130,00 CC in Tax Revenue per week on programs that are total failures, it spends 80,000 CC on a National Military Unit (NMU) which can't do the job, paying huge Combat Orders (CO) to Mercenary Foreign and 'meta government' Tanks who sell their loyalty for the CC. Every CC of that Budget Line unaccounted for by the Department of Defense (DoD); who has all but refused to divulge anything unless asked nicely and given two months to show in private where the CC is going, but not to whom. Arm America recently received a 25,000 CC Budget Line and is only open when the 'eUSA Forum meta government' decides to open it, this 25,000 CC is also unaccounted for by the DoD. Another 25,000 CC has been allotted to the Department of Citizen Affairs, which is currently under reorganization; but so far that Budget Line is not being held accountable. For me and here I speak only for myself, it is no longer about whether or not they should even receive a Budget Line; now it is simply about accountability -they wish to not be held accountable and that is BS.
The 'eUSA Forum meta government' is sitting on a War Chest of 20 or 30 million CC, unaccounted for anywhere and held in private citizen accounts; they hold 2,386.02 Gold and 618,256.19 CC (which over night dropped to 305,777 .89 CC, also unaccounted for) in America's Treasury -they also have 20+ Government Organization in which they hide Gold and CC, ALL of which is unaccounted for anywhere. Even with all that they have raised the Work As Manager (WAM) tax rate 93% to 15%, the highest level in American History and they want more; they want a MAX TAX of 25% -to which I say Buffalo Biscuits. All of this while going around Congress calling some Congress Members thieves; even after they had repaid the specified amount -approved by Congress- that they were asked to return.
Sorry, but how can I trust some one who points at me and calls me a thief while abusing and hiding millions in Tax Revenue?
Dio Soryu yesterday published a well written article entitled Co-opting the Revolution (How the SFP sold out to Conservative Populism) accusing the SFP of having sold out; since I feel that Phoenix Quinn in his article Eleven Points for Dio Soryu to Consider answered his questions concerning Socialist Freedom I will confine myself to his comments about me. I will only add that his comments on Comrade Phoenix Quinn's article were a tad childish, next time maybe write another article; yes?
'Now I think a fair question has been asked, one that should concern all parties; the SFP has many friends world wide and some wish to come here.'
Quote from SFPOM #8
'Instead, Franklin focuses on his conspiracy theory that this represents an intentional effort to "stifle SFP's over-seas recruitment efforts". This completely ignores the point of the question in the original post.'
Dio Soryu, Co-opting the Revolution (How the SFP sold out to Conservative Populism)
Although I thought the article was well written and I am sure will cause some reflection on the part of some SFP members, however in essences what he has tried to do is deflect. He has tried to say that I saw this as only a problem of the SFP, when clearly I stated that it was or should be a concern of every party in America. He has also tried to insinuate that the SFP recruiting world wide is probably a bad thing, knowing full well that a large number of the Citizen Soldiers making up PMUs that defend America are Foreign Nationals, he also feels that when wealthy immigrates come to America we should tax them into leaving.
'If the entire document is empty, it is difficult to see the justification for the theory that this is specifically targeted towards SFP members. Certianly it is an issue that should be resolved, but it is not an issue that specifically hurts SFP as there are any number of people immigrating for any number of reasons. Simply because SFP is effected by a broken section of scripting, he leaps immediately to the conclusion; "OPPRESSION!!!"'
Dio Soryu, Co-opting the Revolution (How the SFP sold out to Conservative Populism)
If the entire document is empty how do immigrates know their status? Dio Soryu admits that the problem needs to be resolved and yet it still remains unresolved 3 days later. Once again I specifically stated that it should be the concern of ALL American parties. Also there is a call in Congress to hold Congress Members Accountable using petitions and polls -something the meta government opposed doing itself- to show the support of our constitutes, so shouldn't our constitutes see us asking such questions publicly in Congress, you know shouldn't they see us publicly supporting their views in Congress. Basically the answer given was that we weren't doing it right and the issue remains unresolved.
The SFP wants open, honest and transparent Government, the SFP wants the American Government to stop wasting Tax Revenue on programs that fail to help the very Citizen Soldiers who they wish to call on when the Dogs of War bark. The SFP wants the American Government to stop wasting 80,000 CC on a NMU; which has been restructured 2 or 3 times in the last few months; a NMU which will not account for its Budget Line. Help the SFP build a better tomorrow, add you voice to Public Congressional Proceedings and make yourself heard.

tl;dr bro
wheeling and backdoor dealing, baby. 'Murica!
blah blah blah same old anti government rhetoric
Typical FS article. When true substance is lacking just invent some out of thin air. Franklin it's not that different programs are not accountable, they are just not accountable to you. The people that need to know do know. You are not a need to know guy.
So those who are paying for the Tax Revenue those programs spend have no right to know where it is going? America has no right to hold its leaders accountable?
Those government programs should be accountable to FS and you and me and every other citizen in the eUS!!!
In real life the accounting you get from government is the amount that went to the program. We get the same here. Franklin thinks he is special and he wants line item accounting. He's not going to get it nor should he as its simply a FS witch hunt and no one wants to waste their time digging up info to help him with it.
For a few dollars you may obtain from the GAO a complete copy of the budget, right down to how much toilet seats cost on the USS Enterprise; just for the asking....
Are you dense enough to think any county will release all budget info? A lot of information in a budget would be bad to let fall in enemy hands. So no Frankie you do not have access to complete comprehensive info.
@ morningblur; It could be worse. He might contribute nothing and make trollish comments about people that have put a lot of work into this.
Now, which one of these are helping the community?
I don't doubt he contributes to players who don't pay to play. That's perfectly fine. His ideas, articles, and thoughts however are utterly worthless and contribute nothing. Now as for your dig at me, I buy gold and pay to play. So people like me contribute to keeping this game running (guess we should be looked down on for that crime Lol) and without us it shuts down. This is a for profit site. If no one payed it wouldn't be here. So there you go community helped.
I thought that was actually what FS does.
Talk about digs; didn't you advise people to leave this game?
Anyways, nobody is logging on to see you pay money. However, you pay to troll frank. 😉
I guess that you are both doing your part.
>Trolling
Will Americans ever figure out what this word means?
So you actually think that because you pay to play you keep this game going? What I see is that those who pay to play want to dive off anyone who doesn't pay because ya'll own this game.
Buffalo Biscuits!
This game has lost many citizens due to Admins favoritism towards those of you who pay, I would be more than willing to pay a monthly fee; if the 'Gold Club' is done away with and those who spend extra get nothing more than extra game product/gold.
"Thanks BSP & we kicked you out " 😮 😮 😮
v+s
Please comment my article for the complete the mission:

very thx 🙂
Considering the fact that most of the rest of us play the "Socialistic Volunteerism" game anyway, I believe your entire "war" with everyone who isn't a member of one of your favored parties is contrived.
Do you have any idea how much it takes to fund and run a big Military Unit?
I assume you don't, because I know you've never consulted with me and I would lay heavy odds that you haven't consulted with anyone else who is in the business of socialisticly volunteering to fund a major Military Unit.
So before you spout off about the inefficiency of our NMU, it would be wise for you to educate yourself.
If only you would think before you publish...
You are correct I have never consulted you on PMU operation, that doesn't mean I have not consulted someone else; I am after all in the BC.
I fully support PUMs such as EZC and War Inc exactly because they are based on 'Socialistic Volunteerism', because they are privately funded; because they fight for America out of loyalty -but you knew that.
All I am asking is the our NMU do exactly the same thing and stop using Tax Revenue, I want them to stop doing exactly what BSP and their PMU the VMA-214 were accuse of doing; walking off with government infrastructure.
My corrections to Franklin's paranoid ravings.

Jessina apparently can't see that. Can u post it here for her?
I doubt she cares. I'm not sure I do, either, I just have time on my hands.
Oh dude, its a game. SFP uses their own forums and claims eusforums are corrupt, this isn't a real deal, we know.
Again, those of us who choose not to go to sites outside the game, are left with half a story.
That is why outside sites should be banned.
She(?)'s right, it doesn't allow an unregistered user to link over. Strange, because I know I see guests browsing all the time. Let me ask and see if I can find some answers.
I don't understand y ud choose not to even look at the eusforum, but I don't need to either. It's ur choice, but clicking the link and reading it is entirely free and easy, its a public thread.
Each time I have attempted to view the eUSA forums from an in-game link, it requires a login, thus I'd need to register and have an account to view the information. If it was as simple as viewing without joining the forums, I would probably do that.
P sure there are public areas, I've lurked in the past. Here, let me ask Soyru to post here for u
Hm, I'm not sure what the hitch is there. I tried logging out, for myself and, indeed, I was not not able to browse any part of the forums. However, I know I have seen 'Guest' browsing on various occasions.
I'll look into it and see what answers I can come up with.
if I weren't an Old Fu-k, I'd be a Socialist.
