Ansen Retires from UIP Presidency, Endorses Joshua Hoss
Ansen
There's obviously a lot going on in our country right now that deserves more attention than Party President elections...but whether we like it or not, the elections do go on, war or no war, and they should be addressed.
I have greatly enjoyed my three terms as President of the United Independents Party. When I took over the reigns, our party was in danger of losing top-five status and we couldn't even find enough active members to fill out a cabinet. However, thanks to the hard work of numerous members, the UIP has been given new life. We have an amazing core leadership group in place that has helped us to make a big impact on the eUS political scene, despite being the smallest major party.
As most people know by now, I have made the decision to step down from the Party Presidency. I have been either a congressman or party president for the last seven months, and I must admit that I am somewhat burned out on eRepublik politics. There are plenty of well-qualified leaders in place inside the party who deserve a chance to step up and lead, and I think it would be highly irresponsible for me to deprive them of that opportunity if I am no longer 100% committed to the job.
One of those well-qualified leaders is Joshua Hoss, the UIP Vice-President throughout my three terms. Hoss has been a huge asset to our party - he is a strong mind, a diligent worker, and a good friend. He has announced his intentions to run for the Party Presidency, which excites me greatly. I fully support and endorse Joshua Hoss in his bid for the Presidency of the United Independents Party.
As far as what's next for me...I will continue to be a proud UIP member and participate in the goings-on of the party in a non-official advisory role. Meanwhile, I have joined the Marines, and am excited about exploring the military side of eRepublik. Thanks to all of my UIP friends for the fun experiences you've given me, and may the party continue to flourish in the future!
Now...let's go show PEACE the consequences of attacking Americans on our own turf.

You've been a great PP, dude. Here's hoping Hoss will be, too. He's got a tough act to follow.
Wow, that was the most I've ever typed in a comment box without a single insult. Um... you're a bitch.
Thanks a million, Ansen. The UIP has revitalized under your care.
I fully support Josh Hoss as our next PP. In Congress he chaired the Military committee when I chaired Budget, and he knows how to get the right thing done with minimal drama.
UIP = From strength to strength
You were an awesome PP Ansen, you will be missed.
Good luck in the Marines, Ansen. I'm glad to have been a part of the UIP with you as PP, and I'm sure Hoss will do an awesome job as well.
I love you like a son Ansen....like a son
Well, there is always a time to move on. Sorry to see you go, but you are right, we have a lot of young people stepping up into the ranks. Go UIP!!
Great job Ansen. Good luck.
(Joins in standing ovation for Ansen)
I joined too late to really get to know you as a PP, but good luck in your military career and thanks for all you've done!
You will be missed boss. Don't forget to come in and pretend to boss me around every now and then. 🙂
You did a great job Ansen. Best of luck with everything.
You were a great PP Ansen and the UIP has really developed and become more active under your leadership. Thanks for your dedication to the party.
"I joined too late to really get to know you as a PP, but good luck in your military career and thanks for all you've done!"

I fully support Joshua Hoss as next PP for the UIP! Good times.
