Shermain for Vermont!!!

Shermain
Hello, I am Shermain, I am running under the CvP banner for congress in the State of Vermont.
I would like to represent Vermont, I have seen what this long fought war on America has done to our Great Land. Our enemies thought we were done, but little did they know the eAmerican Spirit. I did what we all would have done, when our freedom, way of life and liberty is at the point of extinction. Freedom’s spirit swept this nation and I did what any citizen of this nation would do. Answer the call of duty and I have fought in many battles, with many of you. Mentoring many rogue nations and its leaders as to what is ment by...."gave proof through the night that our Flag was still there...."
I would like to continue my role as an active citizen, shouting from a hill top how great our enation is. What better way than, having your and I mean your voice in congress.
I have heard from some of you but I have not been able to work on domestic issues and make a more day to day impact in citizen’s lives.
I would like to talk with you for a few minutes, letting you know where I stand on the issues. Issues that concern our Government and most of all You!
On Government Transparency:
If you elect me, you can expect to see Congressional updates every few days, from your congressman. I will do my best to keep people informed on what's going on in Congress and on my personal voting record.
On Military:
Second, I adamantly support the military and its’ endeavors in helping keep us safe here at home and abroad and our allies. I support keeping the military funding at more than sufficient levels. Who doesn't support our military? I know that they're taking steps to spend it wisely and reduce necessary costs. This war has unfortunately made me understand one thing; we need a strong defense, military and make sure our Commander in Chief will do what it takes to keep us safe here at home and abroad. I am one who believes that the military should do what is tactically best and send our enemies to their eternal dirt nap.
As it pertains to tanking In the end, Field Marshall is not really the defining requirement to be a tank even though it maximizes your rank. What sets tanks apart is their very high strength, which can only be reached by playing for a long time. When you reach Field Marshall you will still do much less damage than an FM who has 10 more strength than you.
Of course as strength approaches infinity this difference cancels out, so in a very long time your damage may be similar enough to warrant tank status. At the same time, the oldest players will eventually drop out, and as each one does your relative military importance increases. I will say if you can afford to pay to increase your military XP then go right ahead.
Speaking of affordability, when a citizen is at war, I say use whatever quality weapon you could afford at the time. I think this is a case by case choice, because you know what you can buy at the time you suit up for duty.
Taxes:
While taxes are a vital part to maintaining stability in our nation, I believe that we should only tax to a slight excess over our expenses. Some revenue should be held in preparation should PEACE (now crumbling) or others for this matter decide to attack so that we may defend ourselves and our allies. I welcome the idea of lowering our import taxes on raw materials to 1% but I wish to see the impact made by those bills to include economic help here at home. Over the course of the next few days, without a doubt, be hearing more from me as to how I plan to accomplish these goals.
We are stronger today than one month ago, our health care system is important as well.
Health Care:
Some have proposed that hospitals should be in every state, we know that can not be done at this time, to be honest never. Due to the fact that we do not have the gold to support this huge overhaul onto our health care sector and most of all the effect caused to our eUS economy. Having said that, we must make some tough decisions. If you look in many States like FL, CA, and a few others have huge populations, many of the citizens are inactive, dead, dying, or some even banned. So for some one to build a hospital just because of state population is high, is a waste of money. This is how many feel and think. I am not in favor of massive hospital expansion. I am however in favor of what I call a regional Health Care System. One hospital in the South, North East, Mid-West, and West Coast regions.
As is stands today:
South (FL)
West (CA)
North East (TBA) (NY or Penn)
Mid-West (TBA) (T😵
Two hospitals are not placed at this time but should be looked at in the days to come if elected to congress. I think the placement of the other two hospitals should be placed in a based on:
High Resources – these are key to defend because they are so valuable to our economy.
High Active Population – which would increases the wall of a state solely based on the amount of citizens residing in it.
Where jobs are more likely to be created which would create a growing population and a growing gdp.
To sum it up; all States are important, do they need health care facilities, yes, do they need them right now, no. I know this may seems mean, but I will not run on promises I can not deliver. I will fight for health care solutions! I will fight for you as it pertains to a growing economy! We grow strongest in our patience! My name is Shermain and I am running to represent you Vermont!
I know many of you will come here and post bad things about me, but let me say this, I was a noob. The very next day, I contacted Ligtreb and sent him a real apology and he helped me understand how things work in this game.I have done what I needed to do.
Thanks
Shermain Taylor

Shermain says he supports the military, but he hates good American heroes and slanders them.
And he doesn't understand the strategic parts of hospital usage and placement at all.
i wonder who he will slander this election...
perhaps one of our military heros like Harlot.
He still fails to recognize the fortress strategy, and is just implementing a q5 in every state system in increments.

*plans to move to Vermont and vote for anyone but Shermain*
Sherman Sherman, i have a vision that he would become USA president some days. good luck
Dude I understand the fortress strategy. Are you kidding me, so you are saying that we only need two hospitals, due to the fact when were came underattack, and was pushed back to FL only and that is where the tide turned. I am well aware of what took place months ago.
Mentoring many rogue nations and its leaders as to what is ment by...."gave proof through the night that our Flag was still there...."
That makes no sense, has nothing to do with rogue nations, and was a song about the Britsh bombing a fort. It's also a fragment.
Just for your knowledge:
When an article has more comments than votes it generally means that the active players disapprove of what you are saying. You should take that to heart.

Your military section also overlooks one of-- if not-- the largest branches of the eUSA military.

Is your avatar you? or did you rip it from a lesley's pool supplies commercial?
>>...I am well aware of what took place months ago.<<
- So you are admitting to being a multi???
If you slander those that work hard to better the nation as a whole to further your own political ambitions - I doubt your knowledge of the game and our government in it, I doubt your maturity, and I doubt your commitment to this country.
These are my personal feelings. ITT you want to play pretend senator for a month or two, then try to play pretend president, then quit when you realize this is a game, and not RL.
John you sound so angry, it is called reading the forums. I think that is where you find a lot of info right? Thanks for the personal touch in your posts on my articles that is.
Shermain advocates more hospitals to get the US population spread out a little more. Heaven Forbid! This would screw up the cozy system that allows zero population states to be represented by hacks and a dozen of their friends in Congress; while the bulk of our population gets represented by plurality victors.
Shermain for Congress, and to hell with you nasty little flamers hiding behind your keyboards.
johnpauljones is not a pedantic little churl whose idea of a good time is peeing in the office coffepot, then reliving the episode over and over again, after retiring to his one-bedroom flat next-door to a liquor store.
honestly i dont think he could say anything that will get him into congress. i doesnt matter what he advocates branson, he slandered a good Eamerican in a lame attempt to gain newb and ignorant player votes
That's a lot of new hospitals... from what I've heard, the debate so far has been more like, None vs. maybe one more.
the answer is none
I'm not angry, I was of many who called you out on your little political stunt last elections. It's obvious that you haven't learned anything in the last month. You simply aren't qualified to be in congress. If your party moves votes so you win, they will look awful. I hope you have enough new multis Ajay, because without them you don't stand a chance.
Jfbranson - I like your style. + 0.5 FP
Can you link to your public appology to ligtreb? I'm having trouble finding it in your articles.
I know johnpauljones you made your point 14hours ago when you posted something of the same kind, lol. Is there anything that you agree with that is on my platform, you say I have learned nothing, what am I wrong on this time around? You say I am not qualified, no problem, your opinion, now let me ask you, what makes you qualified, do you own an org., have you created any jobs for people? Since my last election, I have learned one important thing. Help People and that is what I have been doing and will continue to do. So when you say I have learned nothing, I think you are and will always be wrong.
There isn't one, and well there shouldn't be. ligtreb, in an earlier anouncement, made it sound as if he were trading guns for votes. If ligtrib wants a public appology, He should issue it to himself.
As for ligtrib's insistance upon calling Shermain, "Ajay", and having his pets do it too (and I do find it rather insaulting that johnpauljones is slandering my venerable ancestor's name by using it with such disregard), for that more than a public appology should be expected. Yet, we all know that that will never come.
I seem to remember another CvP member that would have their articles constantly have more comments than votes. What was his name?
johnpaul- waaaah!
Shermain/Palin 2012
This is the same candidate that horrible slander Litgreb, one of the best eAmericans there is! He does not deserve to be in office anywhere of anything!
Ay Ay Ay. Hes of my party...
Shermain...where do I start?
Shermain says he supports the military, but he hates good American heroes and slanders them.
And he doesn't understand the strategic parts of hospital usage and placement at all.
My personal focus has been on mentoring. As an eUS Mentor I try to contact newer players, and give them links to helpful programs. I answer questions when they ask, and I get them in touch with people who help them to further their own personal goals within the game. To call out my personal efforts is fine, but to belittle the efforts of citizens who have done more in their time here than you or I ever will offends me.
I am not the one running for Congress, you are. I know that being in congress is a huge time commitment, and I don't have 4 hours a day to give to Congress.
In regards to hospitals, you saw how well our former strategy of placing infrastructure based on in-game population worked. You also saw that our enemies launched multiple attacks on important regions forcing us to choose one to defend and one to lose. To assume they won't do the same in the future makes an... Well you know the rest of that old phrase.
I'm sure you eagerly await the results of the NY survey, perhaps us "pendantic churls" will be proven wrong and all those lost souls will submit their request for a hospital.
I would like your platform to be more specific, or at least answer these questions:
Do you like the current taxes?
Do you want to make any changes to the taxes?
What is your attitude toward the various alliances? (mainly AHA, Eden, SOL, Post-PEACE)
What is your stance on what is happening in Peru?
What changes will you make in the military?
Also you should explain your health care system better, what good is having a hospital in the south, west, north east, or Midwest?
Shermain seems to have a couple of friends who I'd like to address directly:
The people in power in this country are there because they have experience and they know the game. There is no cabal keeping people from sharing in the fun. The reason people come down and flame Shermain is because he is using politics to further his own agenda, slandering important Americans in the process. He is an idealogue. Don't be sucked in by it.
I'll be happy to expound in private.
Sydiot, you make a good representation of DanileCD and your party. Let me also add, that you come to my platform and ask that people email you in private, looks like you have an agenda. Is this what your party ask you to do Sydiot?
