BREAKING ALERT*Update*
As most of you know, we have recently attacked and then retreated from Portugal. This was a necessary step in our further plans to move ahead in a joint effort with ATLANTIS against PEACE. The attack on Portugal was meant to take place tomorrow, however, circumstances arose that forced our hand to act tonight. This was not a war to defeat Portugal, but instead a war that would open the door to possible attacks with PEACE countries via MPP's. By attacking Portugal, through MPP's, it gave us an open door into Russia. This leaves the US the opportunity to attack from several different locations, IF NECESSARY, without having to wait for Congressional Approval and spending 1000's of gold. The eUS still has their open war with France as well as Hungary. The steps taken above are precautionary at this time until otherwise noted. Check back often for updates.
*edit*Lastly, President Scrabman has been in contact with the President of Portugal and there are no hard feelings. President Arthk is understanding and this attack shouldn't put much of a delay on the Ongoing Peace Talks with Portugal. The previous statement is now void as President Arthk feels that the attack was a threat and does not condone the actions of the eUS.
The White House would like to remind you that we are still on a Critical National Security Alert and would like to maintain what is said below regarding preparednesses.

---Original Release in it's Entirety---
President Scrabman and the White House want to inform the eUS public that there is an Impending Critical National Security Development in the works. I am not at liberty to divulge much more information than that, however, it is imperative that this article be boosted to the top 5 News Articles as soon as possible so that when and if this situation comes to fruition, the eAmerican Public will have immediate warning when they log on to eRep and see it on the front page. With that said, the President is asking you to do your fellow countrymen a favor and vote this Press Release up as quickly as possible. This situation is very serious and I will inform you of all information when it is verified. I want to apologize for the secrecy, but it is a matter of National Security that this remains classified for the safety of the eUS.
This Press Release will be edited with this situations development. Once again, Please vote this up and subscribe to the Comments below to keep up to date!

MILITARY PREPAREDNESS
On behalf of the Congressional Military Committee, I would like to remind everyone in the Military, citizens who are involved in War Games and the general public to remember to always be on alert and prepared for battle. Here is a short list of reminders on what to do:
1. Start each morning with 100 wellness. This will allow you to be prepared to defend your country when/if it is needed. If you can't obtain 100 wellness, aim for the highest possible wellness you can achieve.
2. Hoard weapons and have a moving ticket. Weapons and moving tickets are necessary in case battle arises. Moving tickets to get you to a state with a q5 hospital/a state where we are bordering a potential threat or the slight possibility that you may need to travel to a foreign country to fight for our country. A weapon is beneficial as it will boost your total damage points. Q5 are the best, Q1 are the weakest, but a Q1 is better than fighting with no weapons at all.
3. Fight later in the day so you can still do damage at night if a battle shows up in the middle of the day. If a battle occurs in the middle of an eRep day, you can fight twice in the battle's 24 hour period. The first fight will happen within the timespan of the 1st eRep day in which it takes place. You fight, work then train, then you heal yourself at the q5 hospital. Then, once a new eRep day occurs, you repeat and heal yourself back to 100 wellness in case a new battle starts elsewhere. Always end your battles with 100 wellness from the Q5 hospital. Below is an example:
Battle breaks at 1400 hours eRep time on Day 527 of the New World. You fight and then heal yourself back to 100. After the eRep time passes 23:59 hours on Day 527, you will be able to fight in the battle again until 1400 hours on Day 528 of the New World. Each new day on Erep, you can heal yourself at a hospital. You can only heal yourself ONCE each eRep day from a hospital.
Keep the above in mind, especially with the current situation the eUS is in. Stay tuned for further developments.

Comments
Thank you Claire. Stay tuned everybody. We'll let you know the next move.
Could this have somehting to do with croatia?
I think we should lauch a full-scale attack against Mexico.. they have some high oil regions the US could capture.
Ansen with the Topeka Capital-Journal, second-row on the left - excuse me ma'm, but what is President Scrabman's response to continuing allegations of steroid use?
it's swine flu, isn't it?
Those dirty Canadians are attacking again, aren't they?
Wowlookitsjoe: Made my day.
Invasion would hopefully be more of a surprise unless the other side sucks. So I am hoping something more unexpected.
Voted, and promise to shout this up when the announcement is made.
Voted
@ Ansen: Scrabman denies ALL accusations about use of steroid use. The shrinking of his man-bits is due to Emerick's constant ball breaking of the President.
@Wowlookitsjoe: LOL. This Press Secretary is obsessed with the Swine Flu, remember to put your "Asian-Subway Style" Masks on everyone!
@Emerick: You never know, you can't trust those Canadians with their flappy heads and their beady eyes...
Scrabman, swine flu and Emerick are cool
Fun times ahead.
the anticipation is killing me
I think it will be a big white elefant named Cruzo.
He'll capture the whole world.
Yay
@Everyone, I am very impressed and proud of the eUS. In less than 25 minutes this has already reached the top 6 articles in the eUS. You guys really move into action when needed to do so. Thank you! Unfortunatly, we need a lot more vote cause the top 5 are all up there in numbers. So, keep up the good work!
hahaahahah @wowlookitsjoe....swine flu lol

Nice Spam
Are we invading mehico 'cause the mexicans hopped the border and gave us the flu? If we invade, what efect will this have on the taco+salsa industry?
As soon as I start making a better wage I can afford guns, I'm totally ready for war though, bring it on it's take'em all down!
should I get that case of whoopass out of the basement?
Voted
and I dont care what ya say Emerick is right about the Canucks
ohhh anticipation, just what I was hoping for.
A question for you, ma'am: The timing of this seems suspicious. Is it possible President Scrabman is building the hype to advance his electoral fortunes in the coming election?
meow
Does this have anything to do with Indonesia attacking Brazil?
Is it bigger than a breadbox?
Is it red?
Can it be used as a condiment?
The anticipation is brutal...
How does one start the day at 100 wellness?

why is the president not online during this "situation"?
Glad we could pull the eUSA together so quickly! I'll be glad to help with anything you guys need.
GO USWP! Go Scrabman/Moishe in May!!
Ailil, Brazil is 'attacking' Indonesian territory in South Africa, not the other way round. This could be a clever ruse.
@Everyone: 222 votes in less than 3 hours. Impressive, very impressive. Stay tuned, the announcement may come. As for the President not being "online", I assure you he is online on the WH forums.
Thats pretty scary, But I will defend Latvia lol😃
I bet it's going to be Poland begging us to help them since we are going to be allies.
$10 bucks on SA
I'm excited, although I don't have any weapons or enough money for weapons.
I say we're invading Iraq.
Let the groundless speculation begin.
Why isn't there an eFox News to tell me the truth?
Get on with it!
Voted from eSpain just because it sounds so exciting 😛
