[FED] Nothing to lose...

Day 3,222, 18:23 • Published in USA USA • by fingerguns


One of the things I’ve always loved most about the Federalist Party is that we are a self-described meritocracy. It’s probably the main thing that allowed us to grow as big as we have and what has kept us at the top- we never stop trying to earn what we have. As some people so frequently mention, we didn’t become the #1 party in the country all on our own. Shortly after we broke into the Top 5, it took a lot of support from outside of the party to keep us there while the country faced a PTO threat. Some of those people who joined us in an effort to ‘prop us up’ never left… because we worked as hard for them as we did for our existing Feds. We have grown into the Top Party and hold our position here because we see this position as a responsibility more than anything. We have to be better at this than everyone else. We never stop earning the loyalty of our members.

It would be so easy to become comfortable, entitled and lazy in our position. I think we’ve had moments of it, where we forgot that this party is supposed to be a meritocracy. You have to work for what you want, and you earn what you are given. These are our core values as Feds! We have been very fortunate recently to have an influx of new players and new activity from returning players who are all working hard to prove themselves. I want our representation to reflect this growing and changing population and I want to make sure I am upholding these core party values, as the Party President.

The Congressional sign-ups are open and I encourage ALL FEDS, new and old, to sign up. I’ve received a lot of messages from people saying they would like a chance to do Congress, either for the first time or the first time in a long time. I want you to get your chance! We will be assembling our roster based on general activity within the party and a few other meritocracy-type measurements. We saw a big increase in turnout last month and I think we can do even better this month, so go for it!

Congress really isn’t so serious and there isn’t as much pressure to be super attentive as there used to be. You have stuff to do for maybe week and then it dies off and people go back to their other business. Maybe you’ll get an awesome flare of up nonsense mid-term. But even though Congress is mostly stupid and does minimal actual work, the work they do matters and it is still important that we have good representatives for this party. There is as much potential to do good as there is to do evil. Naturally we want people to do good, and do it well.

Please sign up!

Also, as part of our expanding ‘it pays to be active’ party initiative, any Fed who wins a Congress seat this month will be rewarded with monies. If you make it through the whole term without royally screwing anything up or bringing shame to your party, you’ll receive another reward on your way out. You have literally nothing to lose by signing up, and everything to gain by being an active Fed!
