Statement of Intent: Kavman SFP PP

Day 3,822, 19:19 • Published in USA USA

Statement of Intent

This is to act as a statement of intent from Kavman to run as Socialist Freedom Party (SFP) President.

Goals
1. My first priority for the SFP is to focus on the junior members of the party.
- In 12 Years in the eWorld, I have seen a large group of people come and go. The question begs; why would someone leave? The answer is complicated and depends on the individual. But upon closer inspection, people tend to leave parties because they are not supported enough, or do not feel part of the team. This is my goal: To involve all members in the decisions, and day to day operations of the party. This includes total accountability, and transparency.

2. Priority number 2 is membership. While we currently have 127 members in the SFP, and hold a 23% congressional delegation; there will always be room for improvement. But how can we attract more members into the hollowed realm? Support, Support, Support. People like to be supported. Instead of arguing, and fighting we should be combining our ideas and formulating a collective mind within the party. Quick History lesson: President Theodore Roosevelt was originally a member of the Republican Party in the United States. During his second term as president, amid a rift between TR's followers, and more left-leaning Republicans he decided to run as the candidate for the Bull-Moose Party. Taking with him numerous republicans, and weakening the foundation of the republican party. A collective goal, and thought process is important. This does not mean that everyone can be right all the time, however we must understand the other side's point of view, and learn to compromise. This is a Republic. Meaning that majority rules, as stated in the SFP Constitution, we vote for everything. But trolling through the voting, one trend stands out. We do not have many voters exercising their rights, and expressing their opinions. This leads to Priority number 3.

3. Priority 3 is simple. Encourage party participation. As stated above, we are a party of 127 members (#2 in eUS) so, when we hold any referendum we should be seeing more than 23 votes. We all hold a part in this party, and must exercise these god-given rights, otherwise there is no reason to continue the world's greatest experiment. Political Apathy is one major facet that contributed to the fall of Greece. People would rather live day-to-day than elect people who had the knowledge, and capabilities to lead.

Party Cabinet:
Vice President-*
Secretary General-Orly Levy Abekasis
Councillor-Chickensguys
Spokesman-*
Special Adviser to the PP- Mormeg
* Denotes member has not accepted, or declined invitation.

These nominations are to start the trend of involving the Junior members of the party, who have displayed activity, and eagerness. Within the party is where we make great politicians. I have sent all nominations messages as of 1900 Day 3822; At the time of press release, I have not received confirmation from those denoted with an *.

Conclusion
I would like to open the invitation to any member of the SFP that feels they align with my goals, and has ideas of how to improve past those said above. I look forward to voting, and working with whoever wins the Party Chair. Best of luck to all candidates!

LONG LIVE THE SFP

Fraternally
Kavman,
Candidate Socialist Freedom Party President

Good luck!

Thank You 🙂

General Hi Story of Trite Day 3,822, 19:41

you history is a tad off, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Party_(United_States,_1912), he selected and help assure his hand picked replacement won the next PotUS election. It was the following election, that the Bull Moose reared it's political head.

kavman011 Day 3,822, 19:44

But the point was there, in that a division in the party destroyed the chances to succeed in the election to follow. I pulled that straight from memory 😃. Thanks for the correction 🙂

General Hi Story of Trite Day 3,822, 20:04

thank you for making a point I have stated for a long time, that the SFP is not revolutionary but authoritarian. Succeeding in an election should not be the reason freedom of speech and thought need to be suppressed.

kavman011 Day 3,822, 20:23

I am not sure I understand your "point" my point was that if we cannot have a party consensus then we are likely going to lose members to other parties that can. Not to suppress any unalienable rights offered to us. I do not appreciate words being twisted to fit the narrative that you intend.

chickensguys Day 3,822, 19:42

Good luck my friend!

Ilene Dover Day 3,822, 19:42

How do you intend to accomplish any of these goals?

I said pretty much the same thing last month to Dominar: “Motherhood statements and generalities are fine st the beginning. Afterwards, details. And details and details.”

kavman011 Day 3,822, 20:24

I am glad you asked. For Priority 1: I have already placed members who show interest, and dedication to the party in top positions of the cabinet. While they are "inexperienced" I have no doubt that the party membership will let them do something without being told they did it wrong. The VP was selected because I have seen activity on both the Forums, and the Discord. As well as in-game, he is young and has a lot to learn from being in a leadership position.
Priority 2 is something that the party must do as a group. We have numbers, but we can always have more, and a party wide recruiting drive with 1G/recruit that stays for at least one month should entice some members to get on the recruiting trail. I am willing to fund this in its entirety because I believe we are the best group of people out there. I have the funds available from almost 12 years of only logging on to work in my companies, and job.
Priority 3 goes hand in hand with priority 1, and 2. With more junior participation, and success we will see them refer their friends to our party. With the membership drive comes an increase in party participation. As for political apathy, that is each individual's right to skip elections. I hope that the more members we can keep actively involved the more votes we can get to represent the party in a higher percentage.

Does this adequately answer your question? If not, please let me know how I could better explain my plan to you.

Thanks,
Kavman

I left SFP recently because CG was there and accepted. It will be the downfall of the party which makes me sad. Good luck though.

kavman011 Day 3,822, 21:24

CG has a load of experience, and will be acting as my councillor for that reason. Leaving a party because of someone else seems like running away to me(CG wins). We all have differences, and I respect your choice to leave the party. I don't believe CG is bad like some people claim, I've been in the eUS for quite some time and never had problems with him. As a member of this party and as POTUS' COS, his addition to my team is hugely beneficial to me, and the party on the national political scene. The only downfall for this party will be from members giving up on it. I appreciate the GL, and wish you the best going forward as well.

PilotPhil Day 3,822, 21:42

Yep don’t worry that CG is a traitor to the eUS and is only a citizen because one of his multies let him in. Don’t worry that he tried multiple times to PTO the SFP. You are correct when you say the downfall of the party will be when members give up on it. I was one of those that rebuilt SFP from the ashes. I helped rescue it and now I have jumped ship. Have fun with CG.

shiloh13 Day 3,822, 21:52

That's just it they do not care.
They have no idea what it was like before entering the top 5.
Nor do they know of the work that people like yourself put in too make this Party thrive.
All they want is live bodies so they can climb to the top.
And if they get there, they will have no idea what to do.

kavman011 Day 3,823, 04:38

Again, I have seen the world before SFP, and after. And everything in between. I really wish people would look at that spot on a person's profile that has "erepublik birthday" you would realize I have 2 years more experience. And while I was gone the last year I'm sure that PTO'S happen the same way. But cool thing the SFP did was to write in the constitution a preventative measure, as well as a "just in case". Now out of 9 RC members, do you think that CG could somehow override that and the SFP would be aggressively taken over? Well cool thing also is that if he were to be found of trying to PTO I would just replace him in the party leadership. But I don't have much need to worry. I trust him to do his duties as the POTUS trusts him to be her #2.

mormeg Day 3,825, 13:25

Pilot, something similar happened in one of my previous parties. I left, just like you. And I think that, at the end of the day the result doesn´t matter. If things go south we learn who to trust and what to avoid. If things go better, perfect.

What I did was leave as I was fed up of certain things and people. Rest, get some perspective then reconsider. That´s my advise.
