Hello Party Colleagues, and Congressmen,
Maxwell Hanz here with a longer article than usual.
It's been a few days since my last publication but I have used that time to take a look at some of the issues we face as a party and am willing to, in this article present a sort of inside scoop of how things are operating in the SFP both Politically and Socially.
This article will also entail some of my personal views and so some of this is not the party's official stance on the subjects.
This Passing Term
This term was overall sort of controversial. With the near absence of our Party President Salty one could say that wholesome Political debates have stagnated to an unfortunate extent.
A multitude of players in the SFP, myself included have recently been pondering over our parties options. I have talked with multiple people including Leon Gutierrez, Jimmy Cincinnati, and Phil Harmony just to name a few on a variety of issues surrounding the SFP including personal attacks against individuals and attacks made on society.
It would seem that this is one of the central issues in today's SFP politics. But I must be clear that there is beneath the muck, a heart that is not going to stop beating. These are not the only issues at hand. We should be conscious of who we let represent us.
We should be open and social. We should be looking at the parties past and trying to figure out how to use some of that great history in the future. It could come in the form of reimplementation of older party programs or through the further seeding of new ideas.
The Revolutionary Committee did not have anything, in particular, to work on this term. Now, in my opinion Salty is not to blame for any of the problems we are currently facing as a party and we shouldn’t judge him for his absence as real life is more important than eRepublik.
Where is the Government?
Anyone notice that lonely cricket chirping where the government used to be? I do. Where is the transparency? We have gone quite a while without much ‘real’ news coverage from government sources and i'm starting to get concerned. I guess I just have one question.
Why does the Wild Owl era have to be so quiet?
Announcing My Next Congressional Run
I will be running for congress for the November-December Congressional Term and I hope you will vote for me. I have served a total of three terms in the past and will document and make my vote known to the public. I have decided to run due to the rising need for secure positions in the SFP Congressional Delegation
The Nearly Dead SFP Constitution Group And My Concerns On It
So I decided I’d set aside a segment of this article for a talk on a sort of controversial subject. That subject is of course: The Still Lingering Constitution Working Group.
This is the group that was set up last term by Party President JA Lake. The group was set up to oversee the drafting of a new SFP Constitution. During Lake’s term a considerable amount of work was done to draft up a document that everyone could agree with. (and to be honest it's still not done.)
My point in bringing this up is to express the fact that if this work is to be continued into the next term then the group ought to be recreated to include more Comrades. That is to say if we even want to keep the revisions going. Most of the work done included the creation of a larger version of the Revolutionary Committee called the General Assembly and mechanical changes to the phrasing such as dates.
More importantly, this revision seems to drop some of the more unnecessary rules by straight up not accounting for them and that's where more work is needed. Let me know your thoughts on the Constitution Revision Group in the comments and tell me if you’d like to see the revision continue why or why not.

I Intend on continuing my out of pocket payment of Freedom Writers. If you write an article you really like send me a pm and a link to it and i'll send you 500 cc! Join the Freedom Writers Guild today!
Activity
This segment will be on the need for more internal activity. Now I understand that the Real World definitely comes first but the RC was nearly dead for the majority of last term. The party feed was reduced to constant petty fighting and several people were instigating it.
We have to try to encourage civil discussion at every turn but the biggest problem is inactivity. The result is an echo chamber with neither side gaining ground and a whole lot of earaches. We might be able to combat this problem by disregarding it completely or by drowning out the fights with lots of active voices.
We have 114 members and it's always the same people who speak up. If you haven’t spoken up yet I encourage you to do so. If anyone needs anything please let me know as I know how hard this game can be just starting. Remember we are stronger, together.
Discord
This last segment will be about the parties discord. If you have not joined I encourage you to do so as it is a relatively fun place to hang out. We now have over 30 Party Colleagues and 123 members total. There are usually people there most of the day. Upon arrival, you will be assigned a role.
If you think we should change anything in the Discord let me know in the comments.
The Coming Election, Future Interviews and more
As far as the election goes… Vote TheNorm. No matter who wins this coming election I will be looking for an interview. Keep watching for my next article

A great read! Glad to hear from our leadership on issues present within the party, as you mentioned given the " The party feed was reduced to constant petty fighting and several people were instigating it.", I do hope we as comrades can fix this issue! It has been truly an eyesore to scroll pass the remarks; but my hopes lie upon the next PP putting an end to it all.
The remarks being made do nothing to unite the party as a whole. On either side of the argument, one should try to be the bigger person.
Is TheNorm the official candidate for Party President?
I'm pretty sure but I'm sure some other candidates will get votes as well.
Nice overview. The most important is to get more party members involved and thus improving the activity.
Information is a key issue too. Your article provides some, the government is, as you said, a bit too silent.
Your article put forward many possibilities on how to get involved. o7
Hope I'm not missing anything important! I'm glad we see eye to eye on this Niemand.
V nice article o7
This was a good article, there is still a lot the SFP can do to improve. Your honesty when it comes to confronting actual problems is both noble and admirable. I wish others in the party had the courage to speak it. You sir in this moment, are a true hero.
both sides were in the wrong. Including yours. Thanks for the encouragement though.
Good article!
Viva the SFP.
Good article.
I will take it that I am one of the "instigators" in the Party feed.
So be it.
But my statements about CG are far from petty.
He is a danger to this Party if he gains power and will destroy the SFP.
I have seen what he has done in the past.
Any of you remember the "unity elections" of CP?
And how that sucked for the eUS community.
If you do then you understand.
If you don't, or are too young then I suggest you study your eHistory.
I do not make it a habit attacking other members of SFP,
But CG is an exception to that rule.
I guess keeping one's head in the sand is always an option.
I just choose to confront what he is.
Oh well nevermind.
Overall I just feel this could have been handled better. Don't worry about it though.
This article was not meant to attack any individual players but it is a critique of our little corner of society.
My lack of activity receives my most humble of apologies. But with my RL we are moving to a new duty station and getting all settled into the new place. That receives my full attention and I’ve placed this game on the back burner.
As you should.

Great article
I don't care about what you think.
I'm just curious
Because e you are an idiot, WO!
Feel safe America, your government is sleeping 😃
Good Job! and great Article 🙂
+V, +E from Venezuela o9
Thanks! Always good to hear from comrades from across the eWorld!
V!!
a great political party.
hopefully they will improve the activity.
