Why I left the USWP and Congress
•
by SirChaos
Hello Everyone,
I understand many of you may or may not agree with my actions or may take personal offense with what I might say here, but I wanted to get my feelings out on paper of what transpired earlier today.
Yesterday, I was the Senator of New York into my first term, learning the ropes, voting and keeping my door open to my fellow citizens of New York and my first party (the USWP.) I would visit the eUSA Forums daily, enter my voting record and read what was going on.
Well, how quickly some things change.....
The party (that I have always been of member of since joining eRep) decided to select someone else to represent New York in the upcoming elections....that part is fine with me....but it's HOW that decision was made is what sets me off.
First....my opponent Citizen Dru of the last election lost....and he lost by a large margin. Knowing that he would have a huge uphill climb, he decided to contact the USWP Party President ProggyPop and make some accusations about my perfomance as a congressman in New York, and suggesting to them that HE would make a better choice then me. So...instead of the party president coming to me...talking with me about it....they decide to let someone else...WHO JUST JOINED, my seat to run.
While everyone says in the USWP that I was not active, I was. Stating my voting record and going through procedural votes on donations to Fort Knox and some tax adjustments. In this session, there was not much to talk about to be honest, and to say I was not active, is simply not true.
In any case, what was done here was completely underhanded and disrespectful to me. Instead of someone from my party coming and talking to me (my door has been always open) and offering communication to get the other side of the story.....someone from the outside performed a 'side deal'. Who has more tenure in the USWP? I guess that means nothing, because instead of running fairly, this happens.
Obviously, this party is about side deals, back door arrangements and back stabbing and closed communication WITHIN its own party.
I'm honestly hurt by this crappy drama. So I herby resign my position in congress effective immediately and my leave of the party.
I have moved my to my 'home state' of Washington and for the time being decide to stay here and party free.
I'm surprised by this....seriously I am.
Thanks for reading and listening to my rant. I just wanted to get my story public and out there to know that the USWP is not all that perfect and great as it may seem.
I feel really wronged by what occured and I'm sorry if for being honest.
Thanks again,
SirChaos

I am shocked and dismayed to find out about this underhandedness. Please provide names so that those involved can be outed. This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated. I, too, have been a member of USWP since I joined erep almost 8 months ago. I would be just as disenchanted as you are if something such as this occurred.
I will be editing the article to name the parties involved.
Thank you for echoing my feelings and concerns.
As I said before:
The party (that I have always been of member of since joining eRep) decided to select someone else to represent New York in the upcoming elections....that part is FINE WITH ME....but it's HOW that decision was made is what sets me off.
It's HOW!!.
I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS AUTOMATIC.
I was never given an opportunity before any decision was made to defend myself and my case. I was already written off. A decision was made without my involvement with party leaders.
Instead of running against me in an election, you saw a different way to go at my seat.
I'm offended that my former party decided to throw everything I have done OUT, my tenure, my dedication to the party and make a deal with someone without an established record and history.
Like I said, I guess it means nothing.
I have made my statements thanks for listening.
SirChaos, we offered you a position in any other region that was open. We have many open regions and we do want you to continue in congress. But, Dru made a compelling argument about activity levels and willingness to debate and talk with other representatives. Dru is very active on the forums and participates in many relevant discussions. You have posted some of your posting record on the forums to contribute to your post count, but I see very little debating or conversation within the halls of congress.
We would love to have you continue on in congress. Talk with Panther and we will find you a spot. If you are elected we will work with you on improving your activity level if you are willing to really work hard on it.
I don't want to prolong this bickering, but you say I have "no established record and history".
This ignores my comparatively large newspaper readership, frequently published articles, many friendly contacts, and over 90 largely thoughtful, substantive, and relevant posts on the eusforum. I'm willing to go toe-to-toe against your 3-post forum record.
But instead of using that argument and running against me in an election, you go behind closed doors and take my position to run in the next election.

Why would I want to run in another state? Just to have what happened to me in New York to have happen again?
To have someone come from the shadows, talk to people about me behind my back and take my slot?
Why didn't anyone offer to work with me BEFORE THIS HAPPENED? Like you said..."If you are elected, we will work with you on improving your activity level if you are willing to really work hard on it." BUT ONLY NOW AFTER? (no thanks)
I had a chance NOW, in New York, but behind the scenes and in closed doors, I was pushed out. How could I trust and respect the USWP and the people in the party to not do this to me again when it happened?

I was disrespected by the USWP, Citizen Dru in the way this went down. Everyone says that they "did not mean" to cause this....but they did.
Instead of talking with me FIRST since I was the Active Senator in New York, things happened BEHIND MY BACK. To say anything different is just plain wrong.
Thanks, but I cannot trust the USWP and what they did to me.
We reserve the right to run the candidates we want to run. You failed to communicate with us as a representative on both our forums and on the EUS forums. In fact you've only communicated with me AFTER this situation happened. SO I really have no empathy for you at all. And you were contacted prior to this about the situation, whether you want to admit that or not.
Anyway, I'm not going to spend anymore time addressing this situation, as your contention has been fairly addressed.
dont give up sirchaos
