My Endorsement for the Upcoming Presidential Elections
•
by Chocolate McSkittles
Voters stateside are faced with a pretty big challenge this year.
Do we:
Vote for the kitten avatar wielding Josh Frost in his campaign for a brighter tomorrow?
Join the 10,000 other fists voting for 56 time vice presidential candidate Jewitt?
Completely waste votes by voting for one of the POTUS candidates other than those two?
The answer?
This presidential election, I endorse.....
Voting abroad with the eUS Air Force (signups can be found here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=cjF1WUtYcjcwVF9mSWVHVkRmQ2FaQUE6MA.. )
The eUS Air Force is our branch of the military that exists to organize PTO/ATO efforts, which means you get to protect eUS/Allied interests, while getting to go on vacations around the world on the taxpayers dollar 😃
If you choose not to join the eUS Air Force because you do not want to be part of an organized group (like I personally have) or things just didnt work out with the Air Force, I strongly suggest you consider still looking for PTO/ATOs this election season and acting independently. Articles are almost always in the top 5 requesting help in nations, with offers for free moving tickets for anyone willing to vote. Keep an eye open!
If, come election day, you dont find an article and havnt gotten word from the Air Force about how you can vote to help, feel free to ask on the eUS forums or shoot me a PM asking if your vote is needed.
Remember, the voting booth is the one battlefield where the greenest private can take on the most battle-hardened Field Marshall.

As always, I suggest all players who do not know how to effectively fight and use a hospital check out This guide to hospital use, fighting, and wellness.
It is also imperative that all players read and follow orders as describe in the temporary home of theDepartment of Defense Newspaper as often as possible.

This is the greatest presidential endorsement I've ever seen. Voted and will shout later!
I approve this presidential endorsement.
very good. well played
Choc I've become a bit of a fan of yours in the short time I've been here... your commitment and service to the eUSA (and to new players in particular) is very apparent. I sub'd your paper some time back, and was excited to see an endorsement from you since I knew that as a noob I'd have difficulty w/ the upcoming election. I had some thoughts as to both party and candidate, but in my mind had not committed to either.
Having read the above however, I must admit I've got only the vaguest idea wtf you're talking about. I understand that voting abroad can be a powerful option and a great way to serve our country's interests, but quite frankly I've never traveled abroad (in the New World) and am a bit scared to leave my comfy home in California.
Any chance for a more detailed explanation, either here or on the eusforum?
TIA and
go eUSA!
Voted!
Best endorsement I have read thus far.
Great endorsement, I know who I'm voting for
im with iamnameless... i don't fully understand traveling, etc. i signed up for the air force after having read this. im hoping ill learn a bit more about it in the near future.
Voted 🙂
I endorse this endorsement.
Iamnameless: You appear to understand the logic behind PTOs, just dont understand the mechanics of moving? Ill explain that and you can ask any further questions if you need to.
Moving abroad is no different from moving domestically (like you would have to move to california) except you have to quit your job/political party.
To participate in a PTO effort, basically you would get 2 Moving Tickets, quit your job/political party, move wherever, apply for citizenship, vote, then move home and get settled again.
This process takes a grand total of around 10 minutes and can make a huge difference in supporting pro-american governments worldwide.
Hopefully that made sense, I feel like it didnt. Ask more questions if it didnt, and Ill make a longer/better post on the eUS forums 😃
Choc = win.
High Five! That's exactly what's on my mind!
> Hopefully that made sense, I feel like it didnt.
That's funny Choc; I felt my last comment didn't make much sense, so I deleted it. 😃
I think I get it, but I do have a few questions and am really out of time for today... a follow-up post on the forums would probably be very helpful if it's not too much trouble. (I think the give-and take goes a little smoother there with less server traffic, plus it's easier to quote, preview etc.)
Thx much and will hopefully look into this a bit more tomorrow - sometime in the evening east coast US time probably.
Go eUSA!
ladies and Gentlemen, I give you one of the hardest working US citizens and comedian, Chocolate McSkittles!
Also:
Jewitt 30 minutes ago
I endorse this endorsement.
**** Especially if you might have voted for Josh Frost.
I was gonna join the Air Force, i even applied. but u guys took over 2 weeks and still no answer, so i joined ST6 instead.
good luck with the PTO/ATO tho. we'll liberate other countries, u keep them in power. cool beans.
but really, work on that response time.
PIZ: Oh hush with the campaigning in my article 😛
Zartemax: Understandable. I personally am not even part of the air force, and choose to go the independent route - so i cant really say much on that front. I encourage people to join up with them because its easier to find out how to help that way (getting orders, etc). ST6 is another great endeavor though, so glad you found a way to help out 😃
Iamnameless: Go ahead and post a thread with questions and ill make sure to hit it up!
Vote POTATO.
This endorsement is officially endorsed by the Lulz.
