Independent Congressional Recommendations
Kyle321n
The Independent Council for Congressional Candidates Review met last night to come up with who should be supported for congress. We based this off how often they are active in their party, the eUS forums, and IRC. We also took into consideration how well they'd get along with other congressman and the types of arguments they make. This month the ICCCR was:
Aiden Astrup, USWP Business Affairs Director, Congressman
IanJohnLockeIV, AAP PP, Congressman
John Jay, 1st Armored Brigade Commander, UIP VP
Kyle321N, RAMROD PP, QMG, Congressman
PrincessMedyPi, Congresswoman, Head of the WC, UIP
Tiacha, Head of the DoE, FP VP
Here's a complete list of who's running: Click here

Alabama
Moishe, CvP
Outspoken and well informed Moishe is a pillar of congress. While he is usually on the dissenting side of the argument he brings exactly what congress needs, levelheaded discussion of opposing view points. He's extremely active in the forums and he's involved with almost every decision congress makes.
Other Candidates: princess84 (USWP), John Winston Lennon (Li😎
Alaska
PrincessMedyPi, AAP (USWP)
PrincessMedyPi needs no introduction. She runs the Welcoming Committee, is a former Vice President, and is one of the most active citizens in the eUSA. She is a consummate Congressional leader. Congress would be much worse if it wasn't for Medy's constant dedication and involvement.
Other Candidates: Nurofen
Arizona
Mcgivey, USWP
This is a political comeback of sorts for Mcgivey. He is a former Congressional rep and was a big-shot in the USWP several months ago. While he's been inactive of late, he's re-emerging himself in the game as we speak. He is extremely knowledgeable and an active and skilled player.
Other Candidates😃
ragonknight, Sir Valaro Volcrum, ChrisDF0
Arkansas
WEAK STATE
The council found no one here strong enough to recomend for congress. Ion Ion is the incumbent, but was severely inactive, and proposed bills at times that hindered congress. It is recommended NOT to vote for him.
Running: Gregorius Maximus, Eric Victor, Ion Ion
California
AidenAstrup, USWP
California is lucky to have AidenAstrup. He's an extremely active member of Congress and is never afraid to take the hard stances. He's clashed with political leaders before in his quest to represent his state. He is an active USWP party leader and extremely involved in the USWP Wellness Center and Congressional delegation.
Other Candidates😛

Colorado
Wade Seagrave, CvP
Wade is a member of SADD and the economic council. He is also a Platoon leader in the Army as well as a very active leader on the CVP council. Wade offers an experienced voice. He is also a go to man in the CVP: always being the first to inform the public about party news. Wade offers economic expertise which would greatly help the direction of this new Congress. Wade is active on the eUS forums and would be a great addition to congress.
Other Candidates: Meghan, badules, Patrick Reckitt
Connecticut
The council found no one here strong enough to recomend for congress. Mr. Bobo is the incumbent, but he is not active and can no be recommended to be reelected.
Running: Manuel Pereira, Rand AlThor, Mr. Bobo, Equality 7-2521
District of Columbia
ProggyPop, USWP
The current speaker of the house has done an outstanding job organizing, moderating and adding his own insight to the discussion. If reelected he's a shoe-in to continue as SoH and he has quite a few ideas that should be implemented. He's the best candidate DC can hope for.

Why they'd be good congressmen: Has Congress experience, knows what he's talking about, prepared to take on the responsibilities.

Other Candidates: Chexmeister (USWP), TheBooms (Li😎
, Drew023 (AAP)
Georgia: STRONG STATE

Lazor was the major upset of last month, defeating BennDover as a practical nobody. Lazor has since been an extremely involved Congressional representative. He is an active representative and a great choice for Georgia. With that said Kenneth Sutton is also a former congressman and a very active member of the US. Georgia can not lose with either candidate.
Other Candidates: Mathew29, Kenneth Sutton
Kansas
Ansen - UIP
Proudly serving in his second term, incumbent congressional representative Ansen is a highly active member of congress. He consistently participates in congressional debates and has never missed a vote. Ansen is a highly efficient member of congress, who is always pushing forward for progress when legislation is stalling. He also brings humor to the floor, which can lighten the mood in a tense floor and help keep the camaraderie civil (sadly, something that is often lacking in congress). He is also currently the Director of External Affairs for the UIP.
Other Candidates: Jarumas (Li😎
Hawaii

Chimichonga is a long time player. Last month was his political comeback and Chimichonga has stayed involved and active in Congress since then.

Other Candidates: Lemmington Royale, Joey1601
Illinois
Aren Perry, AAP
Aren Perry is a great member of congress. He's been active in the forums and he's contributed some excelent arguements. Congress would be lucky to have him back. It should be noted that the USWP candidate is a foreigner. Please if you do not have a state to vote in, and see Aren losing, move to Illinios and vote for him.
Also running: Foreigner from USWP, do not vote for him.
Indiana
Kyle321n, Ramrod Coalition (USWP)
Kyle is the current Congressman from Indiana. He is the current QMG for the armed forces as well as a very successful businessman. Kyle is also the former Nationalist Party Vice President and is also a VP candidate for March. Kyle321n is one of the most independent politicians in the country.

Indiana can't do any better than Kyle321N.

Rhane, CvP
Rhane is very active in the halls of congress, and I believed he was actually a congressman before I looked it up.

Other Candidates: DemocratDude (AAP)

Other Candidates: Unopposed

Inwegen, USWP
This is Inwegen's first bid at Congress, but he's no newcomer to eUS politics. He's the current Secretary of State and an active leader in foreign policy. Few people grasp the issues we face abroad better than Inwegen. He would be a great addition to Congress.

One Eye is one of the most important men in eUSA, as he is the man that is almost single handedly responsible for providing some of the most important data to the nation. As a member of the Economic Council and SADD, One Eye provides invaluable information regarding cost-benefit analysis to the Congressional Caucus and high ranking officials. He has consistently made posts on the eUSA forums that guide members of the community toward rational decisions regarding business and public policy. The Halls of Congress are consistently filled with his participation, so much so at times that many congressional members forget that he is not an elected official. He passionately fights for the course of action that he sees as clearly the best option. Without the participation of One Eye, there would be a vast hole in the operations of eUSA.

I say we did an excellent job this time around
No call on New York, where I'm running against SirChaos.
Did you forget, or is there an unspoken subtext?
🙂
Thank You for the endorsement.
New York was forgotten Citizen Dru... let me add it now, because there's a recommendation.
Nicely done. 🙂
sorry kyle
try to help save singapore

Very well done - great job guys.
Dillon Smith for Maine! http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/maine-crongressional-platform-739527/1/20
I have to respectfully disagree with your endorsement of my opponent, then.
I have been an outspoken and active new player in the press and in the IRC, and have good contacts with the UIP, and am well aware of what goes on in the forums. I have made a strong and thoughtful case for my candidacy. I'm sorry we differ on that point.
See here http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/citizen-dru-uip-platform-new-york-ready-set-go--740552/1/20
and here http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/brief-interviews-with-hideous-candidates-citizen-dru-interviews-himself-ny--741279/1/20
There are lots of new players in the game who feel shut-out simply because they haven't got a pile of experience points. I'm running to speak for them.
Wow - this is an extremely helpful article. Thanks much!
Nice job, you guys. We really pulled it together with teamwork to get this list out. I think it'll be a valuable resource for voters tomorrow.
Hey Kyle:
PrincessMedyPi - USWP (UIP)
Other Candidates: None
I think this was one of the coolest projects I have ever worked on. I am honored that I was able to act on behalf of the UIP, and I hope that this is found to be beneficial to the voting populous.
Arkansas should be easy to pick a candidate for, as only one of the candidates is actually American. I think this is a nice project however I think that you should NOT put congress candidates on the projects as it can lead to bias.
I'm running for Tennessee, why is my name not on there? My article is right here:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-tennessee-congressional-platform--738420/1/20
Also there are no members of the CVP or Libs on the list obviously that is going to lead to bias. If you want it to be truley indepent in your selections you should try and give equal representation among the parties.
And I don't think redclaw is running in Tennessee either...
DF it was spur of the moment last night and I'll gladly accept CvP and LiBs to join. Though I myself have been a LiB so I don't believe I'd have too much of a bias.
DF: The following CVP members were endorse😛 Wade, Rhane, Hurling, Illig INC, Acestriker, and Moishe.
The following libs were endorse😛 Talia, Publius, Julius Rodrigo.
Gilroy and I were also endorsed for the Feds.
I fought to make sure the right was represented in this list. Though there were a few nominations I didn't agree with, (I particularly wanted Sutton in GA), I made sure this list was fair in all ways.
Why would you endorse Aren Perry?
hmm, This is interesting. Nice attempt to maintain control of congress also. Thank you for letting us know who you want in office, now its time for us to deside who we beleive best represents our interestes.
This is an excellent example of big government telling the people who to vote for.
Ouch.
Alright! Good job guys. 😃
I would like to thank the ICCCR for their kind endorsement. Overall, great job. This must have taken awhile.
Might I add to my previous comment too that many nationalists were recommended too in addition to the other right oriented parties who had candidates endorsed that I listed above.
Tiacha actually you endorsed 5 the parties in Tennesee are screwed.
My bad, DF. Hurling is Lib. I think Kyle mislabeled it. Anyway, though, there was a big fight between Dovo and Hurling for TN. I think the council came to the conclusion that both would be excellent for TN. My point, though, was that the right was not absent from this list. There were a few USWPers who got endorsements which I did not agree with, but I believe most of the strong right wing candidates got endorsements. I say most there cause I'm as upset as you with some endorsements, but I was essentially the only right wing voice on the council because Kyle could not find a Lib or CVP rep when we had the meeting. Its unfortunate, yes, do I agree with all the endorsements, no, but I feel most who were endorsed deserve it.
thank you for the kind endorsement.
I agree with Citizen Dru. I've been working hard to learn about the game and keep up on all info. Seems like you're picking people because they're more experienced.
I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS KYLE BUT GO BEHIND MY BACK AND CALL MY STATE WEAK ITS ON!!!!!!!!! Lol jk but idk how im not qualified, anyway your choice.
Go Joey1601 IN IDAHO!
At least I got an honorable mention.
As always the Libertarians have published the results of their congressional questionnaire:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/congressional-questionnaire-february-2009-741683/1/20
Glad to have an endorsement 🙂
I bookmarked this page for later. Running someone in a week state is going to be a priority next election.
Well, you've endorsed one of my opponents, but I'll stand by my record. I'm a former Congressman, defeating Uncle Sam in Pennsylvania, before he took the office and the Presidency. I've been a long time member of the National Guard, and I'm active on both the message boards and IRC.
CWC is a worthy opponent, but I don't see too much difference between us when deciding on an official "endorsement."
Thanks for the Colorado vote!
CVP could easily get 10 members if not more!
I promise to do a better job than Acestirker.
Vote for me in FLorida! I will not let down my country and home town.
I applaud your hard work on this list, but what DF said is true I am the only American candidate in Arkansas. The USWP does not endorse their candidate their and the incumbent (AAP) has had no activity. I actively campaigned and put forth a valid presentation.
Nice choices I agree with them, even in Colorado 😉
You endorsed EVERYONE in Alabama except me?! For shame!
Hurling isn't in the CVP.
Yep, someone pointed that out about midway up the list.
I'm a Libertarian.
Nice work by the Committee... I appreciate you getting together and sharing your views. Hints as to whether of not participation has been present and appropriate are very helpful, particularly for those of us who are new to the eUSA.
And if those in the peanut gallery disagree with the recommendations or methods of this panel, I encourage them to create their own list...I'm sure we'd be interested your point of view if it is as thoroughly done.
MoDog for me for now. I'll start getting into party loyalties after this election.
Thanks for the endorsment!
Go Green!
Voted. I love the fact that you guys put this together, and it looks pretty darn thorough. Agree or disagree, it's a nice piece of work.
Glad to see the ridiculous endorsement and oversight in Alabama did not impact my election.
@Richar😛
Yea, me too...Independent Analysis my ass. It looks like a "Lets endorse all the douches" list.
So glad you appreciated it... It's tough to convey sarcasm so let me convey it this way. That was extremely sarcastic.
That said we'll see how your terms go and if you prove to be as active as you are around election time. Come the 4th and 5th of the month if you've disappeared from the forums, then I know the council has something with their endorsements. I hope I'm wrong.
