Shermain Taylor lays it out for the District of Columbia to see.

Day 697, 21:18 • Published in USA USA • by Shermain

I am very excited to run for Congress and hopefully start my first term representing DC. Well it is that time of the month again!!! I will try my best to make it short and to the point.
Well let us get some of the facts out of the way.

I am running under the CvP banner for congress in the District of Columbia.
I would like to represent the District of Columbia, I have seen what this long fought war on America has done to our Great Land, and it seemed as if it could not get any worse. 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 a voice in congress.

During my time here in DC, 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. You will hear back from me in the days to come on many issues concerning the people of DC.

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. I can not say that you all have been getting regular updates for your current congressman at this time.

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 to support our marines, the army, and the airborne in protecting our allies against imperialistic nations. Who doesn't support our military? Honestly, now. I know it exist out there but I am not one. I would like to see 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 tankingm 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 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 economically and politically. Taxes.
Over the course of the next few days, you will, without a doubt, be hearing more from me as to how I plan to accomplish these goals. Let this day be the day when the citizens of North Dakota opened their eyes and see someone reaching out to THEM. Someone who is willing to listen to those he represents instead of the corporate interests.

I know this is early but I want to get a head start.
Thanks
Shermain Taylor
