Sabotage and Foreigners in Congressional Elections!
Jewitt
eAmerica, we have a problem. A big problem. What if I told you that five foreign citizens came to the eUSA overnight, signed up to run for Congress, and did so almost without anyone noticing? What if I said that someone said publicly, "Simply propose tax cuts as soon as a slot becomes available will inhibit Congress..." [1]
Would you be angry? Mad? Sympathetic? Well, if you said the latter you may be one of these foreign amateur infiltrators. Now, what if I said that the foreign politicians were being dealt with by the parties which they entered and that they were being replaced by eAmerican candidates. Applause and congratulations, right? What if I said that it was not a foreigner that said that sabotage-inspiring theme, but an eAmerican politician?
Communist America never Looked so Capitalist
Apparently, Congress has "been controlled by the socialist doctrines" of certain political parties. How can anyone say that? It is easy to place blame on voted-in socialists, communists, or leftists when something goes wrong in the economy. It is also easy to blame the leftists when a war goes the wrong way; especially if it was the right wing that started writing hate in the middle of the conflict. How is it controlled when many consider myself right winged, or Publius (Li😎
a centrist, all the while many see our words as heavily influencing? Possibly good ol' NoneSuch (UIP) or Kyle321N (NP) are some of these communists too.
Now, I am not here to take a shot at the conservative base, nor defend the liberal politicos in D.C., but I am here to say one thing:
Advocating sabotage on our government's stability, advocating a political coup to destabilize Congress, and doing so with the word "people" and "voters" thrown in like its liquor to a French harlot is unacceptable. Scandal? Travesty? Conspiracy? What ever it is, the truth is clear: Not every political party in the eUSA advocates stability and cooperation; some advocate party-line stubbornness and closed-minded self-interests. The question does pin my hea😛
Was this the word of just one member, or does their Party President support such ideological philosophy? Does he truly endorse this plan of legislative sabotage?
Give me a "RAWR!" for War!
The military needs money to go to war, needs more funding, and the new tax figures of 20% will do it. I have spoken with many new citizens that have lived their entire life under the 20% taxes for industries such as wood, grain, and food. They also lived through 15% VAT. I have heard no complaints, and even one has gone around telling the "No high taxes!" politicians that he was doing great, no matter how sympathetic their articles could had been. So now that VAT is dropping 12% and income tax is staying the same...is it really something for this party base to jump on; saying that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer? Especially since in eRepublik, that is an idiotic concept that does not apply.
To have fun, and to stimulate the economy, we must war. Period. I try not to make election promises since so much could happen, but if elected, I will bring you war, eAmerica. It is the only way to gain experience, maintain a high wellness, and keep more people employed and open up more entrepreneurial opportunities than if we were to just sit here and twiddle our thumbs. Businesses need war, and because of this, the workers need war. Consumers need it because they, too, are workers, and our politicians live too much in the real-world.
The real-world, where war is terrible, is always a burden, and is the location of crying and sorrow. Not in eRepublik, not in this game. These taxes, I will admit, are fairly tough. I work for the same wages as everyone else, and I understand the burden. It could be worse, and it could be better. However, in the name of war, national prosperity, and fun, I am willing to support the tax measures passed.
What won't I do?
I will not connive to create an opposition bloc in Congress, bent on postponing Congressional progress by sabotaging the game's legislative mechanics. I will not make secret deals behind the voter's backs just so I can win some more Public Relations points. No. Communism in eAmerica? Nationalization of all industries? Those accusations sound nearly as absurd as calling me a Dioist.

To Do List:
Apparently, The Evil Council has been adding random people to their friends list, and has conscripted multiple "minds." Some have called that this is an action by the Zombies at the USWP, others have said it is an attack by the Irish Communists. See here for more information.
Our new marketing campaign is almost finished, and we are currently testing it on Swede babes. This is so that when our program reaches the states, we do not harm anyone; even the very fabric of our future.
This article was written in response to the cited source. Now, eAmericans! Get to work publishing your own articles on your views, as it will help gauge how the eNation feels and is a better indicator than votes for Congressmen.

I love your subliminal messages.
voted !
Shush, Blue Holt 😛
We have nothing to do with the Evil Council.
Also, my favorite part of this article= "Alby is Gay".
Let it be known that all subliminal messaging is for satirical emphasis. I can't write everything so seriously. I also deny that such messages exist (contradiction?), and are simply a coincidence of random bolding and eRepublik error.
I read it, then started drooling. What was it about? Voted anyways.

What I would like to see is:
1. Return to military pay, and High taxes to support it.
2. At least one war a week, every week for the guys who can't afford tickets.
3. High import taxes on everything except Diamonds and Iron, resources we only are medium in that we need to buy cheaply to make Gunz and Giftz.
4. Low VAT tax, except maybe a little on Ticketz, Gunz and Giftz so the Have Gun will Travel guys like me might pay a bit to support the fun Warz. What fairer way to help support Warz for all of us Warriors? Especially if we are getting a "Kick-Back" on our high taxes in the form of Military pay and Gunz, now and then.
5. For the Pacifists, Frak them if they can't take a joke and are such Fraktards that they don't realize this is a Game that is mostly about War and no babies are getting blown up when we fight Wars! People please keep your real world agendas in the real world. Lets all play our game and have fun here in Erepublik.
What is with America's insistence on throwing money at the military? GEE IT SURE IS NANNY STATE AROUND HERE
LOL
"I have spoken with many new citizens that have lived their entire life under the 20% taxes for industries such as wood, grain, and food. They also lived through 15% VAT.

About time someone with a voice said it. Maybe now people will actually listen. trufax: These citizens didn't get any government handout programs when they first joined. So quiturbitchin.
The only problem I'm having addressing the rest of your article is I can't be sure how serious you're being Jewitt.
Yes, I'm foreign competing in the congressionais elections. But I am not trying to make a take-over in eUSA. I'm not here to do a mess in Congress, and not for the gold also.
I am here to do some serious work as well as I did when I was elected Congressman in Brazil. I intend to accomplish the mandate until the end, not disinheriting the Congress for any reason that might be.
But if you don't want me elect only because I am a foreigner, I cannot do anything but be sorry, because you would lose a great congressman.
If you want to give me a chance, vote Artiga for Illinois on the 25th.
Hari: I was being pretty serious. I try to be outlandishly blatant when I am trying to be sarcastic. I meant every word in the article; except for the subliminal messaging.
Haha... Good subliminal messages 😃😃😃
Damn evil council!!!

Jewitt, you never cease to amaze me
Couldn't have said it better myself😃
I thought TEC was NoneSuch's Org?
alby is gay, vote for me. lol
Aww, Miguel, I did not know you were running too 😉
The Evil Council is an organization unto its own self and has taken over many. Expect an article tomorrow outlining the events.
Filibustering has been a Congressional (Senatorial) tool since its inception. Why should it be any different here? What one person calls "sabotaging" another might call "a strategic maneuver". If it operates within the game mechanics and it is not exploiting a bug then all we have is one person not liking the suggestion of another.
Did you scream so loudly when people from the eUSA possibly at the suggestion of our Government undermined the electoral process in South Korea? Or was it alright because they were "the enemy" and game mechanics allowed it?
Wow, not the communist card lol.
Moishe: Actually, I supported the maneuver because it was hampering the native democratic vote. Call me "left winged" or what have you, but the people deserve to have their votes cast appropriately without fear of a political invasion.
As to the your announcement to hamper Congressional progress, I am not attacking you as a person as I have the utmost respect for you and like to consider myself rather friendly, I am just inquiring as to if this is an entire CVP doctrine, DF's views, or just your own. I assumed it was your own throughout the article.
lower taxes = higher revenue
Two parts
1. Totally agree with your feelings on people trying actively undermind the goernment. This is why we need ot be able to execute traitors 😆
2.The taxes are going to pass so Im at the point Im not even going to argue against them anymore, but congress might need to recheck its numbers since we've had a significant number of people fleeing. I doubt its changed the numbers enough to take them negative but it very well might have negated the funds that where being used to fill the treasury. Remember the treasury the thing that got all this tax hiking started 😛 Just a thought.
Hey! You wish to start war... with whom? 🙂

"5. For the Pacifists, Frak them if...they don't realize this is a Game that is mostly about War... People please keep your real world agendas in the real world. Lets all play our game and have fun here in Erepublik." -loftedraptor
The game may be mostly about war to you, but I find warfare in this game to be a joke, and a poor one at that. It's not about real world agendas. The problem is that I'm being forced to pay ridiculously high taxes to subsidize your fun, which slows down my progress on the aspects of the game in which I am interested. It's a simple question of fair play. Why do I have to have my gameplay gimped just to provide you with weapons and money? Earn your own money and buy your own weapons. You're not fighting for me. You're fighting for your own entertainment.
As for Jewitt, you have heard no complaints because you're not listening.
The eUS MUST sign an MPP with eAustralia before eIndo attacks them! This is our chance!!!!!! eBritain has done it, now it's our turn! Spread the word!
Korin: (This is Jewitt) I have heard none because I am not listening, I have found only two newer players complaining and many more saying "I have no problem." I understand, the first few days starting out are hard, but Hell, that's how all games are. Once level 12 is reached and all things are unlocked, it really picks up.
Also, war is needed to run the economy since over half of it requires war stimulation (gift, weapons, iron, diamonds, oil, tickets, 2/3 of the constructions industry, etc). Also, some people like warring, while others (such as myself) like running companies.
Filibustering = political coup? I think not
Perhaps you'd be more satisfied with "congressional progress" if minority parties had no power to propose anything at all
No he isn't!
Maybe it's all the soda, but your writing style is really hard to read. 🙂
Jewitt may i ask u a question...were was born Arnold and now is congressman for texas if i know right...100 years ago u had KKK who "loved" the blacks,now u have a black person as president and i can continue whit some more ... from RL so pls just play this game and open your eys in RL not here cause here is all a game in RL all is REAL !
and one more if i may... i'm from eRomania...just bought here a food company,i'm giving mine workers almost the best wage on the market,i'm selling here the food i produce and i've moved here to eUSA whit mine player...am i allowed to candidate for congress or not ... in your opinion...
The USWP is addressing this issue through a multi-party effort to block these foreign candidates by inviting some prominent members of other parties in to run as our "offical" candidates in those states (keeping them off the ballots). Three still will get through though.
You can see the details here:

"Alby is gay, vote for me"? I wasn't aware that homosexuality excluded one from holding public office, nor that it should.
Divertis Zone: You should read up my other articles, I do not bring RL into this game but many of my competitors do.
Robert Bayer: Also read up on past articles; I try to add comical humor which is blatantly absurd so the "seriousness level" does not exceed its limit. If Alby found it out of poor taste or offending, I will apologize and take it out. All in humor, I'd say.
Are people so serious, yet at the same time tell me (who writes mostly "lulz" articles) to be less serious? I write one serious article in two months :/ Love the population. 😃
Agreed, and I'm new. Higher taxes, military pay, and more wars!
I dont know why but it seems that i think that alby is gay??
Well, yes, I realize that you're not being serious, but my point is that homosexuality shouldn't be something that's "bad" -- I don't care that you're saying Alby is gay, I care that the "accusation" carries the implication that it's an insult, or rather, something to be offended by.
Well Mr. Bayer, if I do offend any homosexuals I am sorry, but I do not hear anything when I make commentary for Jews or stereotypical Americans. Once again, if I do say anything which is found absurdly offensive, even if taken in the most comical sense, then a simple PM would suffice and it will be removed promptly. Gay is used in contemporary as a jesting insult, and I typically am politically correct so I would not confuse the two (group v. phrase).
If this cannot be found as acceptable, then please look over it since I am not slandering, hating, or inciting elitism of one group. A simple jest, period.
I am a foreigner, that's why, even if I could, I won't vote for Congress. No worries, mate, don't panic! 😃
Floridians, Please vote for me in today's elections!
Why is the only person I can vote for congress a German???
