USGP PP Platform-Kylero
Kylero
My fellow Greens,
I wish to further divulge the specifics on what I plan to do if I am elected as the USGP's PP for my third term.
Recruitment and Activity
We need to continue our efforts to gain members. We must understand that as a non-top 5 party, most members we gain will come from word-of-mouth and actions of Greens. We as Greens need to ensure that we help newbs any chance we can. If they ask for your help, contact the Director of Newb Affairs. We have food, we have tickets, we have the means to help new players out, not to mention our knowledge and experience.
More importantly, we need to retain members and stimulate member activity. We can do this by promoting an all-inclusive governance. Every new member should be greeted, and directed to the party forums and encouraged to subscribe to party newspapers. I have a record of doing this on my own, as I am fully aware of who the newest members are. I plan to make new members feel welcomed and appreciated. Every Green should friend each other, and we can use the shout method as a simple way to communicate. Mass PMing should also be a vital strategy, as everyone loves receiving PMs.
Party Image
As I see, there is nothing wrong with being compared to the RL Green Party. The USGP does not only stand for saving trees, but rather, it stands for justice. The purpose of the USGP is to promote:
- A living wage: Every eCitizen should be able to buy enough food and fight for their country on a regular basis. I'm not necessarily suggesting a raise in the minimum wage, but we need to ensure economic justice.
- Universal Wellness-Care: While at war, it is easy to stay well, but what about peacetime? As a party, we should be gifting partners.
- Government transparency: Elected officials should be accountable to their electors. Any sign of deception or corruption should be taken seriously. An open and transparent governance is what the USGP strives to ensure.
We need to be the party that everyone can rely on. We need to be non-partisan, as we are all eHumans first, and eMericans second.
Cabinet and Leadership
When I instated the Cabinet structure for this party, I envisioned a very efficient centralized command. As anything new, things did not always run smoothly, as there were not enough active members to fill positions. However, I feel that as long as everyone's on the same page, it can be a force to be reckoned with. I encourage all Greens to serve your party. Sign up for a Cabinet position, and gain experience in networking with others and serving a purpose. If elected, I will appoint officials who can best perform their duties. I would like to see someone step up and be the Press Director. It is a very important position that has been lost over the past two Party Presidencies.
Many of you know my capabilities. While you may not appreciate my sometimes testy personality, I guarantee you the party's interests are best served with me at the helm. I do have regrets about things I have said and done, but I will never let anything bad happen to this party, you have my word!
And as always, onward we march!

Woot, specifics. 🙂 Thanks for elaborating, Kylero.
I left USA for South Africa because their min wag is much higher. I can now afford guns and food. While in USA i couldn't even afford guns lol I suggest you change that. I make 9 ZAR and have a 2 skill land job. While in the USA that kind of job would make me about 3 USA, which isn't enough to buy a gun or moving ticket. Not only that you only make about 2 dollars when the taxes are taken out.
@Astra, you're very welcome 🙂
@Shawn, I totally agree with you. However, I can't completely say that the min. wage is why some can't afford weapons. Actually, I contend that the problem actually lies in price gouging by weapon makers. It is a complex issue, especially when younger players aren't very productive, and those who are require a lot of money. It creates a situation where there's little profit to be made by companies. I don't claim to be an eConomist, but its more complex than min. wage alone. We will call it as we see it though, as Greens.
i'm in GPUS IRL, and i don't like this version of it. Kylero, i got the impression a lot of people in the party wanted nader to endorse gore in 2000 and he pushed on despite their wishes. 2000 really threw the party into disgrace for a few years. we had the right to run, but we put that above the welfare of the nation (or at least nader did).
You should consider making your avatar john cobb or rosa clemente, no offense. And i may be wrong about nader, let me know as you understand it please.
Marcos, this is a typical misconception of the 2000 race. Nader did not cause Gore to lose the election, Gore didn't even win his home state of Tennessee. Also, Bush won in Florida with approx. 540 votes. Please note that ALL seven independent candidates, including the nazi party got at least 540 votes. Sure Nader EARNED his 94,000 but you can't blame him specifically. Nader was seen as an enemy to the corporate world his entire career. That is why, post-election, the corporate controlled Democratic party perpetrated the myth that Nader is to blame for Bush, when in reality, it is Gore and the Democratic platform. Also, a whole generation of Americans see Nader as a bad person, when, before the election, he was/is considered one of the 100 most influential Americans. If there was a label on everything that Nader has fought for us today, his name would be everywhere. However, its tough to put a label on clean air and water, every seat beat, every air bag, every consumer rights provisions, OSHA regulations, EPA standards. Nader is the best thing that happened to the GP. Cynthia McKinney was a worthy candidate, but tell that to the Greens in Connecticut who are drafting Nader to run for Dodd's senate seat. Please do your research before attempting to defame a true American hero!
Good luck.
Good luck on December 15th, Kylero!
i wasn't trying to defame nader he knew how close the election was going to be b/c of polls, he recognized that while getting 5% would help the gp in the long run (which they failed to meet) gore was promoting an agenda much closer to gp goals. in contrast the other side appeared incompetent and blatantly manipulated directly by corporate interests (dems keep donors a little more distant, but still depend on corporate donors obviously). He put himself and the party before gp goals. He ran on principle and threw our agenda under the bus for it, and we didn't get much out of it. I thought nader left the party/ was asked to resign (just rumor tho) after 2000. It's interesting conn is trying to get him back, and I'd support him there, but he represents a kind of pigheadedness the party doesn't deserve to be pinned with.
S.Y.S.
I support Sam for PP. Just sayin
