SFP Headquarters: Location – REDACTED
It’s time for some change. I hereby announce my candidacy for the SFP Revolutionary Chairman and Party President.
I raise my cap and my sword to Wooky Jack. He has led SFP for several months, and we’ve seen tremendous growth and change under his leadership. We’ve seen the rise of several new players. We’ve seen the senior leadership of SFP swap out some old players, and bring in some new ones. This in itself is a great accomplishment in this sputtering game.
I’ll address the big elephant in the room. Why can’t we get anything done? Why can’t we win the CP seat? Why can’t we enact our policies, spread our revolutionary ideals, and implement actual change on the eNational level?
Perhaps the answer is that we are too revolutionary.
Don’t forget, I was Party President of SFP and Chief of Staff of the eUS during the December 2015 Revolution. I stood on the sidelines, watching my friends and comrades blacklist themselves, before I entered the foray of the liberation war, accepting the end of my political career in order to fall on the sword with my fellow men and women.
It’s been almost a year since this incident. What has changed?
Certainly not much. We putter along, we gain a few members here and there, we fiddle with our own Constitution, and we debate how to be less confrontational in Congress.
Again, I pose the question why can’t we get anything done?
The answer lies in a far greater issue. We have no friends in the eUS. We have no allies, no inter-party relationships, no partners. At times it feels almost romantic, that we fight for the greater good against all odds and the political elit, protecting the two-clickers and the small players around the eUS. It’s a feel good story.
But we haven’t done anything to enact change.
So let’s do something about that.
The focus of my Chairmanship will be on two distinct issues:
1. Strengthen Existing Relationships
A significant number of the SFP leadership and membership are fairly old players. We all have personal and friendly relationships with many eUS players in all political parties. Several SFP members have served on Executive cabinets in important positions. Let’s strengthen these relationships. We will focus on discussion and cooperation with these relationships, in a strong effort to establish interparty relationships and cooperation.
2. Find Common Ground
SFP may have several distinct policies that separate us from the other T5 parties, but we have several policies that do match up with other parties. I aim to find and highlight these common ground policies with all parties, establishing good faith between us and other parties. The first step to friendship and cooperation is finding common ground.
I will be establishing an SFP Steering Committee, with a small group of SFP members that will focus specifically on party relationship and outreach. This group will serve to supplement the day-to day efforts of the Revolutionary Committee and our Congressional Delegation.
We will continue to recruit, retain, and play the way we normally do within our Party. Our current methods have proven effective.
Thank you all for your consideration of my candidacy. I will be releasing more articles throughout the week explaining my Steering Committee and the goals of such a creation.
Sincerely,
Tom Cauchon

This seems familiar.
Does it?
I'm certain I've seen these same images in CRoy articles.
name drop.
They were on Google. Unsure if I'm plagiarizing.
They're not CRoy images, they're all hosted in my photobucket 😛
I have plagiarized the second pic in a couple of my articles. I have also used that quote although not the pic. Actually, anytime anyone -including CRoy- uses a pic or a quote off the internet they have plagiarized it from its creator unless they give credit where credit is due....
Really, people?
Being more mainstream and less auto-combative was a platform from a candidate in this party last month.
Bueller? Bueller?
Are you bored by this? Do you want another revolution? 🙂
You don't have the cash.
That is true. However, you can't just join a T5 political party and then become the Party President within a week. Especially if you don't carry much current clout with the Party. A lot of people agreed with Cerb, but again you can't just jump into things and start running them.
And putting lipstick on a pig doesn't fool anyone.
Be actual socialists, then worry about what everyone else should be doing.
@Pfeiffer rumor has it you are running Multis again for your CP election. Last I heard you didn't care enough to run them. Want to comment?
@Pfeiffer you don't really think cash is the issue do you? Cash is cheap...
I have no idea what you mean by that, Phil. You're the first one talking about 'cash'.
@chickensguy it is confirmed that he has a lot of multis but of course he didn't use them this time HE SWEARS!
@Pfeiffer I may be a college student, but that doesn't mean I won't drop some RL money to revolution yo asses.
Good luck bro
Sounds great Tom!!!
Good stuff.
Voted!
