Addy Lawrence for Congress on December 25th
Addy Lawrence
Here is a pic from my press conference announcing my intention to run for congress.
My name is Addy Lawrence and I am a prankster...
...I mean I will be running for Congress on December 25th. As one of the incumbent congressmen of Saskatchewan, I intend to run there again under the CPF banner. I may be running in another province in support of the best interests of the CPF.
This past term was my first in congress. I put forth two bills to reduce minimum wage, one to $1.00 and another to $1.25, and they were defeated by close margins. Although I still believe that lowering the minimum wage would make eCanada's labour costs more competitive on the world market and create jobs, I got the message and I will not be attempting this again.
I've been focusing my energy in congress on the tax debates.
I've learned a lot in congress, witnessing the budget process and obtaining a better understanding of how taxes work. I've also learned that 30 days is not a lot of time to accomplish things.
If I am elected to congress I intend to focus on two things:
1) Standardizing the budget reporting process with a comparsion to the previous month
2) Using the standardized report to adjust income taxes on wages
The first one is an initiative suggested by only atoms and I think he is right on the mark. The second is my idea, evolved from debates in Open Door Congress.
My most notable accomplishments since my last congressional campaign include:
1-Appointed Deputy Minister of Information
2-Appointed Director of CPF Inc.
3-Built a 14 soldier army in the CPF with 4 missions to date
My most notorious accomplishment this past month, and likely in my ecitizen lifetime, is the red/green prank where I hi-jacked both the eCBC and CPF Inc and had eCanadian soldiers shooting at each other and military command in fits in the New Jersey RW. Yes, it was for teh lulz, and although everything went according to hoyle and I returned all assets to their owners whole, I did cause a coronary for a few people.
On the plus side, I got to know Greg, Jacobi, and Tyler a hell of a lot better...
...and I'm sorry for putting teh lulz ahead of eCanada.
Please forgive me by voting for me on December 25th in Saskatchewan!!!

Resume in Pictures
I have battled to the rank of Colonel, most of it of the bare-knuckle variety. Here is a pic from an eHun’s perspective:

My primary interest in eRepublik lies with business. I am the publisher of the Create, Plan, Manage newspaper which is focused on economic periodicals (Money-Market, Labour Report, Commodity and Product Report, and This Week in the eCanadian Economy) along with the occasional rant/editorial. As mentioned previously, I have started the CPM Opportunity Fund and have been leveraging the investment power of a group of portfolios to earn larger returns. Here is a pic of me pontificating the money-market:

I am presently Commander in Chief of the CPF Army, The Praetors. Here is a pic of me and the posse standing against the rain of criticism over the formation of another private army in eCanada, the rain will pass and we will remain:

...and I'm sorry for putting teh lulz ahead of eCanada.
Please forgive me by voting for me on December 25th in Saskatchewan!!!
Yeah you really do look sorry for fighting agaisnt canada...
Careful Chucky Norris, someone might open your closet door....
hahah only atoms, you think you're the one who's going to open it up? no problem I'll do it for you: http://ereptools.net/battles/info/id/8175" target="_blank">http://ereptools.net/battles/info/id/817[..]/8175 first one is me grabbing the Battle hero medal from a brit, yep I took 5 gold from those red coat, you can also notice a difference of +50k over the wall, no really big deal here. And it has never been in dangered of being overrun. Beside while we we're doing this there wasnt one of our allies that was attacked.
Second one here: http://ereptools.net/battles/info/id/8194" target="_blank">http://ereptools.net/battles/info/id/819[..]8194
The fight that Addy told everyon to fight green, you can also see addy is in the top fighter. what purpose? nothing except fighting green. You can also notice that if you know Penn wall, This battle has been won by 1k. And at the same time we had greece under attack. Every soldier we sent there was one less in greece.
So no bro... It's not the same thing at all, but it's nice to see you keep track of my life.
I actually wouldn't have ever said anything. Oh well. If reading the ecan forums like a good ecitizen is what you call keeping track of your life then I guess I am guilty. Sorry about that.
ADDY FOR CONGRESS!!!
Addy you keep pushing for the CAF to be self sufficient like the CC or the Praetors but how is this better for Canada? The CAF is larger and full of high level active players which would be pulled out of the job pool leaving business owners fighting over less people. Not to mention the CAF would be buying much less off the market and not helping businesses as much. Can you provide more arguments on why your model would be better?
I have got one. Because it is the most fun I have had in this game.
How is this better? The CAF would spend less of the taxpayer's money, that is how.
Ace, I pay for your guns with my taxes. You don't pay for any of my guns. I work for minimum wage in my groups, right alongside soldiers of much lower skill, yet we share the output equally. They level up more quickly and I get a little of efulfillment through sharing.
Ace, your leadership asked me and other congressmen to find them a way to get cheaper guns or they would buy them in foreign markets for lower prices. YOUR LEADERSHIP!!! I find that offensive, particularly when I know of a way, and use that way, to supply with guns. Not once, twice I have done this.
This very issue is being debated in congress. I would very much prefer to deal with it objectively and diplomatically. There is merit to my suggestion. It works in Romania and it works in two instances in eCanada. Given the leaderships request for help, I am providing the best answer I know. If we aren't ready when danger comes knocking, eCanada will fall.
Open your minds, there is a more efficient way.
I happen to be following this debate. The CAF also has a few platoon run companies with workers working at low wages. I'd like to point out that these tax dollars go back into the economy, and most purchases of MTs and Q1 guns in the Canadian market are done by the CAF. It's a driving force in the economy. The price of MTs at one point during a lull in fighting went down to $4.5 IIRC.
