e5anderm for Congress in Maine!


If you want the tl;dr version, scroll down to the hot chicks, stare at them for 2 minutes, then scroll down a little bit further and you will find it.



This month I will be running for Congress, as a Fed, in the great state of Maine!


Although Maine may be a smaller state both in actual size (a little over 35,000 sq miles) as well as people population (at just over 1.3 million people) it’s one of the most beautiful.

Known for its amazing coastlines, lobsters and surprisingly, Blueberries (Maine is the #1 exporter of Blueberries) Maine also has several cities that serve as main ports along the east coast of America.

In game, Maine is a strategic state for eUS since its a link between mainland North America and Ireland/Britain. Though our strongest enemy, Poland, likely won’t use Maine as a stepping stone to try and invade eUS, it will be one of the first territories they attack if they get here.


But I will do everything I can to try and stop that from happening. Poland is strong, but they are not invincible, and we have to find ways to beat them. Recently our allies have not been as supportive as we would have needed them, and I will work to get our allies to not only support us when we need the help, but to support them when they need the help as well. We need to work with our current allies and make our relationships better so we all get stronger.

We also failed in matching the Polish in paying for mercenaries, although we have some of the deepest coffers in the entire game the Polish outspent us in paying people for damage (no wonder they have done more damage than us recently). If we are going to avoid an invasion we are going to have to take some of your taxes we have collected and give them back to you in return for lots and lots of damage.


Speaking of Taxes, it appears everyone agrees that taxes are too high, so no point in me beating the dead horse some more, only thing I will say is that our tax income needs to be better spent. However there are some changes coming to the economic module of the game, and we as a country need to be prepared and at the forefront of the eRep world when those changes occur. With the recent changes in the Military module is seems we have been slower at altering our style of play to the new module than our enemies have, and it has no doubt hurt us a bit.



I will be running for congress in Maine under the Federalist Party, the oldest longest standing top 5 party in eUS. The Feds are a great group of people who are very open, very welcoming and have been around the block a couple times. They know what’s going on in the game and although they are currently 4th on the Party Rankings they get a lot more respect from people instead of having a massive number of two click voters. I was recently told by a high ranking member of one of the lower ranked parties that The Feds are the only remaining American party of the top 5 parties!


And I am honored that they they are supporting me and feel privileged to run for them. Thanks guys!


A little bit about me since you might be wondering, Why the hell should I vote for this guy? Well, I may not be as old of some players having played the game for just 5 months, but I have learned a lot and been climbing up the ranks very quickly and I feel its time for me to run for congress.

I started off as just a member in the Fed Party as well as the EZC MU (mainly because my friend asked me to join) but have quickly climbed up into the leadership of both the Feds and EZC. I was part of a small team of people that created new EZC and EZCP uniforms, which led to some commissioned work for some other MU’s. Though I did not come up with the original idea I have basically been given full control of and recently ran the first ever EZC War Games(the link is the full results, check my newspaper archives for other updates), basically by myself (next month im getting a hot blonde secretary). And recently I have been doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff for the Feds (though I can’t really show you . . .) who in return are supporting me in my run for Congress. Though beyond congress who knows what will happen, as it appears several people want me to run for the Fed Party President next month (not sure what I will do, but trying to get into congress is up first).

I also have some current congress members coming to me for help with various things, so I might as well join the fun in congress (I hear they give out free cookies to congressmen, I can’t wait for that!).

So on June 25th, Vote for e5anderm in Maine!


If all that isn’t enough of a reason to vote for me, four hot chicks has got to push you over the edge!

Most individuals only give you one hot chick per article (if they even throw up a hot chick at all), but I always give you two, I mean you have two eyes, so why not two hot chicks? But for this special edition I give you an extra two!


The tl;dr version:
- e5anderm is running for congress in Maine
- Maine is actaully pretty awesome
- eUS has been struggling against Poland
- our European Allies have been struggling
- eUS Gov needs to do more for eUS and our allies
- taxes are too high and can be spent better by eUS gov
