Gnilraps - The Right Choice for Congress
Gnilraps
Congressional Platform
Day 1,523 of the New World
21 January 2012
I am a candidate for Congress in Nevada, eUSA.
And much as I want to write a "What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas" gag article, it gets done so often that I am going to find a new direction. So this article shall remain free of all mention of Casinos, gambling, prostitutes, or... Wayne Newton.
I'm going for substance.
Instead, I will tell you why I am running for Congress. I actually have very specific interests this term, so I am in this to win.
As Commanding Officer of a top 5 (in kills) and top 10 (in damage) Military Unit - Easy Company Militia - I am very decidedly pro-military. Because Easy Company is Party-affiliated, OMS and privately funded, and new-player oriented, my perspective on the most important domestic military issues is highly sensitized.
In other words, I will be an excellent representative for anyone who cares about strong Militias, good communication with Military Units, and development of new players via Military involvement.
I sit on the Economics Council where I am constantly learning and offering my occasionally useful opinion. As a result, I have a front seat for the ongoing dialogue about the ever-changing (and never-changing) economy of eRepublik. Not only do I think it important for Congress to have an EC member in its ranks, I find it equally important for the EC to have some congress members among theirs.
In other words, I will be a well-informed representative whose primary economics interests are for a well-funded Military, inexpensive products market, sensible taxation plans, a well-funded CBO, and decent communication with people about the issues at hand.
I have been a loyal Citizen of the eUSA my entire eLife. I have participated in the Party Political system at the highest levels. I have given time, money, creativity, energy, and devotion to the security and stability of our great eNation. I am decidedly pro-eUSA.
In other words, I will never propose a rogue law, screw with the Congressional system of good order, join in league with enemies of the State, or act in any way to harm the eUSA. I make a good Congressman.
In short, I want to be a Congressman because I believe that my best strengths are in line with our eNations best interests.
I despise harmful trolling and destructive flaming. I will use what clout or seniority I have to keep Congressional dialogue and communication civil and interesting. New Congressmen need to be given some gentle patience while they learn protocol.
In other words, I will be a good representative of Congress itself. Freshman Congressmen will be met with a friendly and helpful mentor rather than a trollish antagonist.
I am very much opposed to any Congressman who sells Citizenships for money, grants Citizenships to known enemies of eUSA, and otherwise conducts himself outside of generally accepted protocols. Serving in Congress is a public trust, and those who betray that trust deserve censure.
In other words, I will vote to censure and oppose any congressman who demonstrates activity contrary to the safety and security of our eNation and our eGovernment.
In short, I am not going to be a waste of your precious vote. I am not going to cause grief for my fellow congressmen. I will work to enact significant legislation, I will fervently debate critical issues, but I will do so respectfully and in decent order.
Here is a picture of Gnilraps from his 3rd term in Congress getting ready to sign the budget proposal.
I ask you to please vote for me on the 25th for Congress in Nevada. I have the full support of the Federalist Party, and I am asking for your as well. As always, I will pay your moving expenses to get to Nevada if you will cast your vote for me.

No selling of US citizenships to the highest bidder?
Obviously, Sir, you are against our Capitalist System of unfettered, unregulated free enterprise, and absolute states' rights. The system that has made America the pride of the world by smashing wasteful labor unions used by lazy workers to collect useless pension funds which rightfully should belong to vulture, I mean, venture capitalists, and made the housing market an absolute crap-shoot in which virtually any family without trust fund money can be turned out on the street in a month.
I suspect you of fomenting class warfare, and attempting to turn the good old US of A into a European style Socialist entitlement state, with free health care and education, but which denies the precious rights of Our Children to pray all day long in schools.
C'mon... what's wrong with a little innocent graft?
Sell the perks of your proposed office to the highest bidder, and I'll take everything I just said back.
Oh, and like all good Americans, I do accept "donations" in the form of "speaking fees".
yours in Democracy,
JBB
