Another Month, Another Congress Election - Albert Neurath's Manifesto

Day 1,190, 10:44 • Published in Austria Austria • by Albert Neurath

We are now drawing closer to yet another Congressional election, which means that the global media is about to be bombarded with manifestos of all shapes and sizes. I will be contributing to that bombardment with this article.

I am running for re-election to Congress this term. This election is of special importance to me, as it will be the 22nd time I have run for Congress, and hopefully the 20th time that I am elected to Congress. I would like to therefore thank all of the people, past and present, who have helped put me in this position.

If elected to Congress, I will be focusing much of my attention on two aspects of government, namely, economic matters and matters of national organization. Owing to the actions of a few rogues last Congressional term, our tax structure has fluctuated greatly. As a Congress, and as a government, it is in our interest to devise a new tax scheme, one that will balance the needs of the national treasury and the needs of the economy.

Over the last month, we were plagued with a series of damaging, and, quite frankly, dangerous proposals. One Congressman attempted to propose Switzerland as our Natural Enemy, which would have led to a war we neither wanted or needed. Another tried to impeach the President, for no reason whatsoever. To prevent such a thing from ever happening again, we need to focus on national organization. A crucial part of this is the establishment of a new national forum. It is never in the national interest to have those elected to serve the country running amok.

Thank you for reading,

Albert Neurath
