A Bold Statement: A Letter to Friends
Panther
Dear citizens of Texas,
I’m sorry I haven’t been in such contact as I had wished and hope for. I have been active in the forums, and have read most, if not all the topics relating to this country, and its well being. I haven’t once missed a vote, and have made the responsible and wise choice to represent you, for what you voted.
I never got a chance to thank you, and it may be far too late to receive one, but I thank you for electing me into congress. Though I was the replacement for a very strong and active citizen for our country, I have tried to step up to the plate, and represent Texas like former Congressmen NoneSuch.
I had intended on messaging every citizen of the great state of Texas, and asking them to fill out a sheet, it would have been optional, but with the results from the elections, out of the 270 people I messaged, which were able to vote, only 78 citizens voted. This was quite a weak turnout, and I had hoped for better.
Once again Texas, I’m sorry, and I thank you for the chance to be your congressmen.
I owe you Texas [Part 2]
I thought it would be wise, to give you a list of every proposal since the 25th that I have voted on.

History on Panther
I joined eRepublik back in August 2008. I was a noob, as every player is, and was. I learned the knack of the game pretty quickly, and began to develop a strong liking for this social networking game. It came time to where I had to choose a party, and I believed the USWP was the way to go, my calling if you will. I slowly become involved in the party, with the help of McGivey, and then dropped from the face of eRepublik. I had RL issues to tend to, and became a two clicker from October into November. When V1 came out, I was outraged, but it brought back my activity. I ran for Congress in November, and lost by a vote. This helped to inspire my activity, bringing me to higher levels of activity, which helped to fuel my interest in the game.
December into January was when things started to change, I became more active within the party, and within eUSA. Though I had no major role in the USWP, I felt that I was wanted, and respected. I again, ran for congress, losing for the second time to incumbent, Iduffee12. I continued to twitter in the game, and ran for congress, in which I said would be my last time. I ended up winning those congressional elections, North Dakota had now been under my representation, and I did my very best to do them well.
More Recent Times
I was elected into Congress, for my second time in Texas, under the USWP banner. I was appointed to PAC Director by Party President ProggyPop, before the March 25th Congressional Elections. Though I believe I did do a poor job, the USWP got the majority once again. I helped to create a Presidential Campaign for Scrabman and Moishe, which was only partly initiated. This brings me to my point.
Resignation
The party activity in the USWP has been either flat or on a very slow decline, and with the removal of the mass PM, it makes it hard for large parties such as the USWP to operate. Though the activity of the party isn’t a major reason on why I am resigning, I think it is good to point out. I want to allow for a new flow of members, strong and developing to join the USWP, and get the experience as I did. It was a great experience, and it will forever be a part of my history on eRepublik.
My Future, and Thanks
My Future is unknown to me, but what whatever will happen will be after this congressional term ends. I have thought about leaving eUSA, which is becoming more likely everyday. I will probably end up in South America, hoping to create a strong nation, a respectable future Ally with eUSA.
I would like to thank the whole entire EB, you guys have given great support, even when I have had major spouts of anger, and doubt. To you I am indebted, and I wish to remain friends with you all. You have given me the opportunity of my eLife, and I am so thankful. Thank you guys for everything you have done.
I also want to thank the general members of the USWP. Remember this, without you guys, this party would be nothing, so I give you thanks for sticking through some of the hardest times the party has had, and give hope to the rising stars.
Thanks for reading my Big Ol’ Wall of Text.

I can easily imagine you rising up the ranks in South America but you shall truly be missed here in the States. You helped me immensely with my campaign for Wisconsin's Congressional seat and you generally guided me in political matters. You will be missed.
You did a great job in the USWP Panther. You'll be missed, but we'll always have that "Emeritus Executive Board Seat" with your name on it if you want to come back.
We will miss you buddy! Best of luck in your future endeavors!
Thank YOU, Panther.
Stay emo.
Sad to see you go panther! We'll always keep a good spot for you in the USWP if you ever reconsider 😉 But best of luck in whatever comes next!
Voted.
USWP is losing a good member. Suck it, USWP
