Nomadicracer for CP .. The time for change is NOW!

Patriots of the Netherlands...
Welcome, and thanks for checking out my bid for CP!

I wanted to start with an ending statement from elgorro's election plans that sort of sticks with me.. "- Don't change anything that is not broken -" Now im not saying everything from the ground up is broken.. but as a country.. as a nation.. we are broken!!! Things do need to be fixed.. more of the same isn't going to end with a unified and free Netherlands.. If these are the things you are looking for this isn't the attitude or approach that will achieve our goals..

I've also mentioned before that the problems facing our country are going to take some time to resolve... such as improving foreign relations & becoming a player in an alliance that can challenge two's supremacy..& Bringing our country together as one, to work more efficiently on and off the battlefield.. I believe in the coming months we need some continuity in our government to maintain our direction in accomplishing these challenging goals.. Not a one and done before i quit the game and move on.. I have always felt elgorro was an asset to the Netherlands.. but if he is truly quitting, as he announced after losing the last election, then i do not believe CP is the best position for him.. If he is honestly just interested in helping the Netherlands on his way out.. He should join my cabinet and help in a fashion that will not set the country back when he quits.. And after the last month i have a hard time believing he is truly interested in bringing our Country together.. Instead of making amends, he did all he could to stir up more trouble... If elgorro wanted peace in the Netherlands.. he should have been working on that this past month.. I strongly feel a vote for el gorro, will not bring the country closer together.. and without a unified Netherlands.. we dont stand a chance!!

I also believe that with all the political term oil of the last couple months; we have a better chance to put it all behind us, if we elect a candidate that isn't affiliated with either of the feuding parties.. Our Country is to small to be divided in half.. I hope with our Neutral party, the Bilderberg Groep, we can help mend the division that has been created by some of our more experienced citizens..

As for the rest of my plans...

I plan to expand our foreign affairs dept.. The world is in total disarray thanks to two.. Once we are united at home, we are going to need as many allies as possible! & i plan on putting together a team lead by van Spijck that will continue the stellar work they have been doing; along with reaching out even farther and creating a larger alliance umbrella that will have the strength to deal with two..

I also plan on boosting our defense/strategic planning crew.. Communication will increase to maximize our potential on the battlefield.. Fighting tactics will be discussed and implemented.. Timing and coordination will be a vital theme in our resistance.. as i believe in fighting back!! We will have a unified strike before congressional elections.. & if we need to pay anyone i would rather pay Mercs.. than the pink.. Anything given to the pink will be used to suppress another country, or us down the road.. so basically we get burned twice taking that route!

I am also planning on monitoring our market; and importing reasonable priced goods where we currently fall short.. I believe the access to fairly priced goods should be available to all our Citizens where ever they may be stationed.. no reason for a few market traders to reap a profit from our struggling Citizens.. or force them to buy goods from poland or serbia, only to fuel two and their war machine..

We will continue Coaching & welcoming new Citizens with the same team from last term..
Information is a powerful tool.. & with increased communication we will always keep the populous informed with updates on our progress & future military plans.. There will be no secret agenda's or decisions kept from our Citizens..
As a small Country i believe we can include more of our citizens without the security threats a larger nation may face.. The more Citizens involved, the more effective we will be, and one step closer to a unified Country we can be proud to present to the world!!

Now a little about me.. I heard a lot of concerns about my lack of experience.. & its true.. i dont have the experience of our last 3 CP's... but look at our current state of affairs.. they are nothing to brag about.. Maybe a fresh outlook is what our Country needs.. I am currently putting together a very experienced cabinet, and will count on their experience and support through out my term.. Years ago, i was a member of the eAustralian gov.. & even though the mechanics of the game where very different.. the forum activity and governments where set up exactly the same way!!! & as a small, region-less Country.. we need to fine tune ours to be as effective as possible.. A small Country should have less red tape, and a more personal approach to governing its small populous..

I also have made it clear i am not a fan of excessive forum activity.. & this i do believe is a pitfall for a small Countries such as the Netherlands.. However i do think there is a place for the forum, and certain affairs and discussions are best suited in a more secured location.. & as CP i will be active on the forum.. & will try to make if more user friendly for our younger Citizens.. Keeping in mind i still plan on bringing everything i can to the eRepublik platform. The more we keep our citizens informed & involved the more unified our Country will become!!

I am an open minded positive patriot that wants nothing more than to unite and free the Netherlands... I am more that just a warlord on the battlefield.. I have grand ambitions to not only bring our Country together! but to realize the dream of a free & secure Netherlands!! I am very interested in anyone's ideas or suggestions/ along with a hand if i am fortunate enough to be elected.. Here is a preliminary list of some of my Cabinet members.. van Spijck, Aries Prime, Zeeuwsmeisje, Weekstorm, Wallhalla, Gwom, Skyjacked... (Please IM me if your interested in getting involved)
i am working on getting the rest together, and will publish an article in the next couple days with a more complete list & positions..

Win or Lose, i will remain an active Patriot..
Always hoping, and fighting for a free & secure Netherlands!

That's all for now...
Thanks for your consideration!
Vote for Change!
