The third in the si😜art series. Tonight, we begin with running mates, starting with GoBucks.

===================================== ========

What are your primary goals in election for the Presidency of the United States and what, specifically, will you do to achieve these results?
My main goal in this election is quite simply to get elected as President come January 5th. I have worked diligently for this country for months, and feel I am somewhat known around the country. What I am aiming to do is prove to the country I am the most capable candidate for the Job and that I will do the best and the most to improve this great nation. Fix what is broken, and make better what is good.

What are your views on the current war with France and the war between Romania and Russia? Furthermore, what are your views on the position of the USA in Atlantis?
I feel the entire war with France has been mostly misunderstand by the greater population of the US and of the world. The war with France is in reality a war of Atlantis Vs. Peace GC. Awhile ago Top Peace Nations (Indonesia and Brazil) declared war on a fairly weak Atlantis nation (Argentina) although they had never attacked they were biding their time before they could finally strike with sufficient force (as we have seen in the past 24 hours). Atlantis decided it would not be their position to sit around and allow Peace to trample any nation they see fit. A vote was taken and passed. Now it was decided that it was time to cripple the strength of Peace in Western Europe. This war was waged by nearly every member in Atlantis as was successful until each peace nation was facing odds of 3 to 1 in most cases. Because of the current MPP laws the members of peace are allowed to attack from the comfort of their home countries against any one Atlantis nation. This has caused this war to be most difficult for us all. I personally spent over 100Gold in one battle to ensure our victory, but my 7k damage wasn't' enough to win us back that battle when we are facing over 3 nation's combined force. My Views, are that at this point the war is hurting us more than it it harming us and steps need to be taken to end our conflict with France in accordance with the other nations of Atlantis.
Speaking on the Romanian Russian Conflict. I personally feel that Romania was extremely out of line for taking this course of action without proper notification and respect for the code of alliance. As is regulation with the treaty they will be subject to the penalties of an unsanctioned war against a nation which is not labeled an enemy. If they don't cooperate with those negotiations a proposal could be brought up to discuss the expulsion of Romania from Atlantis as penalty for ignoring the rules of the Treaty. Being a member of the Atlantis forum and a founding member of the alliance I have been able to hear from the Prime Minister of Romania who has said this war is not going to wipe Russia off the map and is not a quest for domination. That being said I would not send troops to aid Russia as that would be breaking the treaty of Atlantis as well, and two wrongs does not make a right. Furthermore, I personally do not agree with the actions by Romanian and no US troops are to aid Romania in their war.
USA in Atlantis. I feel that the US is in a great place in Atlantis. At the time being atlantis is vital to the stability and security of the US. All nations maintain an equal say in atlantis. The US is a founding member of Atlantis with the charter being drafted primarily by one of our prior presidents. I do feel however that our voice could be used more in planning for the future. This would be done primarily by myself as President and my Minister of Foreign Affairs.

What are your views about your opponents? If you would be able to work closely with one in administrative manners, who would it be, and why?
Despite all that has been said, both of my opponents are great candidates, and have done a lot in erepublik and for our country. I would also say that I still feel I am the most qualified for the position of president and believe entirely that what I could accomplish as president would be great for our nation as opposed to my opponents who might do a good job at it. If i had to choose I would pick Uncle Sam as he has run before as my VP. He has extreme vigor and genuine excitement about erepublik and cares about making the US a great place. He may be slightly impulsive, and has trouble taking things from point A to point C, but when we work together I am able to help him fill in those points, and fine tune those ideas. I have also respected DF for his stances, and his paper is nothing short of amazing, but as president I get flashbacks of the archi administration and at best Immuno.

What are your long-term economic goals for the United States and how will you work to achieve them in the short term and the long term?
My long-term economic goals for the US are to establish a stable economy where we export more than we import, and thus become a more prosperous nation because of that. What we need is a strong infrastructure of stable and reliable RM companies operating with acceptable standards in high quality areas to ensure fair competition and relatively low priced RMs. From this we will be able to monitor and moderate the price of our finished goods. Ideally we should be able to produce food, houses, and moving tickets faster and in larger quantities than other countries. This is just an example of areas we should invest in and be able to have exportable excess. Not to mention our RM exporting abilities. To keep things relatively simple the long term goal is to greatly expand the treasury. How we can begin to accomplish this in the short term is through properly established taxes and tax code, regular Monetary Market Regulation, records of treasury funding/expenditures, and by ensuring we invest where we can prosper. I have been Economic Council Director for 4 Consecutive months and know I can bring this things into fruition.

Can you name any very specific things that you are positive that you can accomplish in your first term as President of the United States?
Of course many different things can be accomplished in ones first term, but there are a few things that take my priority. On that list is the Military, which seems to be in a perpetual state of falling apart. It is time we streamlined the military. I am not talking about an overhaul, or a reorganization, but what we need is to go through it piece by piece, officer by office, and make sure it is running efficiently. I fear it is has become too bogged down, and with that I will ensure our military soldiers are funded for war, and our officers/generals get the respect they deserve. Moving on from the military a big priority of mine is finally establishing the the department of developmental and statistical analysis board. Although I wont go into the full details of this board. This products of this department could and will be more beneficial to our country then nearly any department running currently. You can read more about this in an up coming electoral article, besides that you could look back in (The book) to see my original conception of this idea in July. While I'm on the note of it if anyone doesn't' know my history as a presidential contender I recommend they read the book on my site, and read some of it for themselves. I would also make sure to establish the accountability, transparency, and good relations our government soo desperately needs with its congress and its allies in other countries.
