My Knesset Record and Thoughts
•
by Sam Krak
For the January 25 - February 25 Knesset Term, I was elected as a Wildcard Knesset member.
That's not bad.
For someone that hasn't done as much as I have for this country.
There are some people in the Knesset that are completely new to this game at Level 12, 13, and 14. Here I am, Level 18, serving 4 consecutive terms, being my parties' Hebrew Liaison, a Sergeant in the IDF, and the Deputy Minister of Justice under President Hoss. Why has this happened? Because of the one thing I despise in politics over everything else.
Party Factions.
And I'm not the only one. Here's a list of people that should have gotten in besides me, taking into account how many people should NOT be in (anonymous for a reason) This includes other wildcards that should have made the real Knesset.

So thats that. Trying not to make enemies, don't take me the wrong way as an egotistical jerk. I'm not, ask any eIsraeli that knows me. So those are my thoughts.
Here's the record part:
Follow with this:
Month and Year: Result, vote number, place in vote result, party affiliation, district, proposal record for term
September 2009: Knesset Member, 9 votes (2nd) IPP, Jerusalem, 0-2
October 2009: Knesset Member, 7 votes (T-4th) IPP, Jerusalem, 0-2
November 2009: Knesset Member, 12 votes (3rd) UZSP, Jerusalem, 1-2
December 2009: Knesset Member*, 8 votes (T-5th) UZSP, Jerusalem, 1-2
January 2010: Wildcard Knesset Member, 4 votes (40th) UZSP, Beersheba, TBA
*Chair of Knesset Finance Committee
According to this, in voting I've gotten progressively worse, but my work as a KM has improved by a great deal. Why? I don't know. I'm one of many Israelis who are having the same issue. So I ask this:
For the remaining elections you take part in, vote for the candidate, not the party.
Thank you, and of course, I will still serve honorably as a proud member of the eIsraeli Knesset.

wow. ok, well maybe you should have written a presentation and not be undecided till the last day instead of taking your win for granted. maybe next time you'll try. and another thing, how are new people supposed to be elected if only the qualified should be voted in?
sam this happened because some of the candidates votes with 4 hands if you know what i mean with that ! anyway its good that we made it to the knesset !
@tvotr7: excuse me? who helped you learn what to do in Congress? How to run? And is helping you now? I havent had a presentation in my third or fourth runnings, and Ive done much there. I have totaled to 5 times in the Knesset. This is your first. DO NOT tell me what to try and not try. New people should be voted in only if they truly, rightfully deserve it. You are one of them, and so are others. But at the discretion of veterans who are trying to fix a broken nation, well, it can be costly. Dont take this the wrong way man, but I know what I'm doing. I've been here to represent eIsrael to the best it can be. And I always will do it.
@bailey: Yeah we did! hahaha it was close man, but we pulled through! Glad to see you came back 🙂
u did help me but i'm thankful. and i didn't mean it in a mean way. i said that you seemed unprepared bc u thought u were going to get an automatic vote. might i point out that u were undecided while everyone chose sides. and the thing that lessismore and i had in common was the fact that we made presentations. im not saying ur a bad KM.
btw this is what i thought. so if i'm wrong...then good!
haha well i understand. yes, me in beersheba mightve been a bad idea, but we'll see. thoughts are always good man.
Maybe once Baju pays back his loans , he'll deserve to be in congress 😕
baju didnt pay them yet? Well, his name needs to get scratched
