JLO4PP....Closing thoughts

Day 2,333, 09:43 Published in USA USA by Jefferson Locke



To my dear Feds,

This has been a very eventful Party President election period for us all. We have seen three candidates in a race to the finish line, after Trekker unfortunately had to drop out. Right now, the decision is between myself, Apollo221, and CrashThompson.

In this article, I would like to touch on some other aspects of my plan and tell you why I believe I should be your next Federalist Party President.



Treasury:

The treasury seems to be a very hot topic since I first brought it up about a week ago, and it should be. This could very well be one of the more important aspects of our party if implemented right. Having a one stop funding shop for our various depts. to go to would not only make them more efficient, but allow us to deliver even greater services to our party members and our nation.



For this I have chosen Mazzy Cat to get it going for us. She has done this before in the WTP party, and it was a success over there. She also has the connections in and out of the party to help us get funding when needed to start and maintain the treasury. Simply put, she is the best person for the job. The first time the treasury was started up, it was Dunks and I putting the idea together and getting the original funding. We’re bringing it back, and we’re adding Mazzy to the mix to make it stronger than it has ever been.

Media:



The media is a huge part of the game for me. I firmly believe that the party that controls the media controls the conversation, and as I said in my first article, we cannot allow the conversation to be dictated any longer. We have to stand up and follow a strong Federalist tradition of media awesomeness.

Myself and Wooky have some great plans for this. I’m very excited to work with WookyJack, and know that we will take an already awesome media dept. and expand it, making it a well oiled machine. We will get some politicians on the national level to do interviews for our newspaper, that way we can increase party relations and our newspaper readership. As humans are creatures of habit, we will also be releasing the paper on the same time, around the same date, and we will be promoting great Federalist articles every chance we get.



I’ve also retained Ubuntu for FedEX, as he has done a great job with it.

These are some of the programs, combined with the other articles that I plan to implement and expand upon. There is actually more than all of these articles, but honestly if I were to publish them all it would take me 8 articles by the 15th.

I also have the experience needed to lead this party. I have been through just about everything with the Federalists. I’ve seen us in the fifth spot about to drop to six, I’ve seen us rise to number one. I’ve seen us fighting the PTO threat from Ajay for months and months. I’ve seen us be loved, and I’ve seen us be not so loved. I’ve seen us do great things, and I’ve seen us make some mistakes.

Through it all, I’ve always loved this party so much that I feel it in my pants. I’ve always been P/H. I’ve always been a Fed, and I will always be a Fed.



I believe that the next couple of months will define us as a party. We will either be content with our current position as the number one party in terms of numbers, or we will rise up to where we were, the number one party in terms of numbers and influence.

I want us to achieve great things together, both for our party and our nation. It is my sincere belief that the country is at it’s strongest when all parties are united for the overall good of this nation. Sure, we will disagree sometimes: that is not only natural but healthy. But through it all, we will stand together and say with great pride that we are Feds.

Some great things have been said about me. WookyJack’s article here : http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-fed-nothing-gold-can-stay-2390521/1/20



Along with Tyler Bubblar’s quote in the forums:



“I wanted to say that Locke has always been a bit of an inspiration to me. He was on hiatus when I made my return, but I scoured the forums as a new Fed and his fingerprints were all over them. Everything I have done as a Fed has been with the intent to honor and sustain the legacy of the Feds who built this party into the number one party. He was a vital part of that group. Much love and respect Jefferson Locke.”

Paul Proteus said in the forums:



“I'll have more to say on this later, but since I first worked with him way back when I was PP, Jefferson Locke has been the model Fed, and one of the hardest workers in the party when he's been around. A large amount of the success I had as PP came from the hard work put in by Jefferson Locke, and a lot of the success the Feds have had since has also come from his efforts.

I'll have more to say on this later but I can say with certainty that there is no Fed I'd rather vote for, or rather work with than Jefferson Locke. And while his competition is top tier (as it usually is in Fed elections, which is why I usually avoid actually endorsing anyone), I'm going to give a rare endorsement (not that it means much) for Fed Party President unequivocally to Jefferson Locke.


And Blondeninja endorsed me beautifully here:

I don’t put these things to toot my own horn, although it is a great honor to have these great people say nice things about me. I put them here so that everyone will understand something:

I take this very seriously.

Not just because I love this party as much as I do, but because these are people that I respect more than they know. Because these are people that I look up too, and they are people whose support means the world to me. I put those things there because I want everyone to understand that I can’t let those people down.



And I can’t let this party down. I love it too much to let it down.

I ask for your vote and support in the upcoming primary Fed poal (that’s how we roll, we have our own spelling for things). I ask for your confidence. And I ask for your faith.

Together, we are invincible. The only thing that can stop us is ourselves.

Proud Fed forever,
Jefferson Locke
