James Strife for Delaware --- June 2009

Day 574, 17:31 • Published in USA Romania • by James Strife

I would like to announce my candidacy for the great state of Delaware in June 2009, with the endorsement of the USWP party. I am very excited to run again for Congress and hopefully retain my office this upcoming term.

Now, a little background info about myself…

Background

I have been the Assistant Director for Meals on Wheels. Since then, I have seen the positive impact of the government funded wellness programs on the populous of the eUSA. Although I am still earning my stripes in eRepublik, nothing has stopped me from expanding my knowledge relating to virtually every aspect of eRepublik from current events to politics and foreign policy. I also have been promoted to a Lieutenant in the National Guard and I have seen the power and the ability of our armed forces first hand.

Now for the topics…
1. Wellness Programs

2. Military

3. Transparency

4. Taxes
Wellness Programs

First, I have every intention to maintain the funding for the wellness programs such as Meals on Wheels and the recently formed MASH, as these programs are essential to helping our national grow both economically and militarily. I have personally seen the positive forces created by these programs, to include me and my friends and the thousands of others that have been assisted by these programs.
Military

Second, I adamantly support the military and its’ endeavors in helping our allies. I support keeping the military funding at more than sufficient levels to support our marines, the army, and the airborne in protecting our allies against imperialistic nations such as Indonesia and Hungary. Also, funding for the military is vital in protecting our allies such as Croatia and Greece from foreign countries should they choose to attack those countries. I also support further expansion of the Air Force to expand our influence in reducing the effect of foreign PTOs.
Transparency

Third, I believe that higher levels of transparency and communication must be displayed amongst our populous short of those that might reveal our war plans. This includes better communication between the different branches of our military to include the National Guard, the Army, the Mobile Infantry, the Airborne, the Air Force, and the Marines so that our military can be used to its’ utmost capability and strength. Furthermore, I plan to be a visible example of transparency through regular publications of my voting record and reasoning in my newspaper to ensure that I am voting in the interests of the people of Delaware.
Taxes

Fourth, while taxes are a vital part to maintaining stability in our nation, I believe that we should only tax to a slight excess over our expenses to include MoW and military funding. Some revenue should be held in preparation should PEACE decide to attack so that we may defend ourselves and our allies. I welcome the idea of lowering our import taxes on raw materials to 1% but, I wish to see the impact made by those bills to include economically and politically.

I look forward to representing the good people of Delaware for a second time, and I appreciate your support in the upcoming election.

Remember to vote James Strife on June 25th!
