Join the new world

My fellow Feds.
I'm Evil_Elvis, current Federalist Party President, and apparently I need to go on record as saying that I do not now, nor have I ever eaten a single succulent morsel of a human baby. 
My opponent has been spreading vicious lies about me, in an attempt to cover up his own complicity in the puppy kicking scandal that has recently rocked his camp. He has been spreading a photo of what he claims is my fridge, a fact that I categorically deny. The food in that fridge is obviously of some weird forrin origin, and is certainly not sold in the great state of 'Murica that I'm proud to call home. Friends, not only am I here to debunk the falsehoods being spread about me....I'm also horrified to report that there is now incontrovertible photo evidence of my opponent's own wrongdoings. By now, you've probably all seen the following photo of him kicking an adorable puppy. But now new evidence has come to light that not only will he kick your puppy if he's elected....he'll also stomp on your grandpa!!! Perhaps he was just bored during his hiatus from that show with the chick from Firefly, and was blowing off some steam. But is this the kind of person that you want leading the glorious Feds? Especially in this month of peace on earth, goodwill towards man? Instead, I would ask that you vote for me, Evil_Elvis - non-eater of babies, kicker of puppies, or stomper of the elderly - to continue to be your Party President for another month. 
My goals are as follows: 
Increase activity in our forums
Moar contests, moar prizes, moar fun. We're currrently running a weekly contest rewarding the top posters in our forums with gold. I'd like to steal an idea that my opponent had, and modify it to be most new threads created, instead of posts. Partly because it's a good idea, and partly because I have a sneaking suspicion that the only reason he's running against me is so that I'll adopt his ideas.
Increase recruitment
Let's face it, this game is in a downward spiral. There's not as many non-party-affiliated players as there once was. I want us to grab up all the ones that there are, swaddle them like non-edible babies, raise them on a diet of steady meta-game....and then most definitely not eat them. And even more importantly, I want to draw some of the Feds who are only 2-clicking into the forums/IRC. 2-clicking is horrible, this game isn't that fun in and of itself....come find out where the real win happens.

I found something out about our sworn enemy, We The People, this past month....I kinda like them. They're no Feds of course, but they're not quite as horrible as our past relations would make them seem. You can find most of them in their IRC channel: #fedpartychat 🙂 And to thank you all for reading all of that, and as a reminder to never, ever kick puppies:
