Official Anouncement- USGPP Candidacy
Kylero
My fellow Greens,
I have decided to put my hat into the race once again for USGP President. I've served as PP twice before, August and September, and I am confident that I can once again serve my party. After losing a close race last time to eventual PP Sam Kraus, I feel very strongly about my ability to show this party what being a Green is all about. Kraus and his administration started strong, but has yet to really fulfill its pledge of growing the party, re-energizing the base, and taking us to the national stage. Kraus himself will not run again, citing time constraints. One of our Senators, long-time Green and personal friend, timothybeasley, will be leaving the party, and Kraus' Press Director has resigned. So I ask you, has anything really changed for the better? Sure, we have two Senators now, but one is leaving.
Bottom line, the Kraus Administration has created a highly centralized governance, and what is good for them is perceived good for the party. Being a Green does not mean we defer to larger party allies. I caught a lot of flack last election for predicting that Sam Kraus may end up leaving after a term, and use his experience for his own personal ambitions. Well, where am I wrong?
We need to become Greens again, and that means:
-Promoting a sustainable and living wage for all eCitizens
-Calling for greater government transparency
-Advocating for the distribution of free food on a need-basis
...any much, much, more!
Greens, give me the opportunity to show you what you've been missing. You won't regret it!
As always, stand united and march onward!
Kylero
USGP President (Aug-Sept)
Comments
I am a little confused... unlike RL, there is no scarcity of resources, no benefits of conservation, and no nature to be taken care of. Where does the "green" attitude apply here in eRepublik? Sorry for the offhand comment, but it just never really made sense to me...
Thank you for the comment and your concern. Sure, those things might not be necessary in the game, however, there's more to the Green Party than that. In the game, there's still hunger (lack of affordable food), lack of government transparency, living wage issues, homelessness, and sexism. This is what the RL and eRep Green Party believes in adressing.
Nice! Thanks for the response. I hadn't thought of those points and I definately see where your coming from. just voted the article up.... I also posted the same question in the forum, I wonder what responses I'll get
Correction. Sam is not leaving the party. He wants a break from being the PP. That is all. He would be my CoS if I am elected. Sooooo.... lets think real quick. Wouldn't he have to be green... if he is a cabinet member? Just saying.
We never made ourselfs centralized. We have offered plenty of oppertunities for people to get active in the party. In fact, durring congressional elections, Sam helped motivate over 20 + people in the party to go and vote for our congressman. We have also had tons of public questionairs and areas for Greens to become active in the party. We even gave a leadership role to a new person in in the party. Deyo. So before you go and say stuff, please check your information. Don't assume.

I never even knew sam wasnt running next term till today 😛
Some communication going on...
No official statements from the PP, no State of the Party Adresses, nothing. I think that this administration is more concerned with talking to other partys than its own.
It was stated in the minutes taken a week ago that Sam had no intention's of running. I take it that Nb may have mis-looked that detail. But their was a copy of the minutes that was avaliable for him to see and figure it out if he had taken the time. But now adays, we are all rather buzy.
The most positive attribute about Kylero is his undying loyalty to the party and its ideals. This is not to say he has my endorsement, but to say that he takes the party very personal.
I disagree with him on alot of things, but his love for the party is unquestionable. Not that my opinion should mean anything anymore.
