XXIII: Homeland Security
Jude Connors
My Fellow Americans and Pfeiffer:
Greetings and Salutations:
Whether you know it or not, America faces domestic threats looking to come to power everyday. Luckily, the USA has had a good history in combating these political takeover (PTO) attempts and we have been relatively successful. Americans have been kept safe because political parties and the federal government have been able to work together. This does not mean that rogue Congressmen have not been elected, nor does it mean we should let down our defenses. In fact, it means the exact opposite.
Last election, at least TWO rogue Congressmen made it into Congress - Tyler Reynolds (now known as Beast) and DCbg. In New York, there was a race to protect the region against a suspected PTO attack..
So what does a rogue Congressman do when they get in Congress? Well, one of the responsibilities a Congressman gets when elected is the ability to approve citizenship requests. Naturally, this means that rogue Congressmen approve the citizenship requests of enemies of the state, thereby making the ability of a possible PTO stronger the following month. Eventually, there will be enough voters that preventing a PTO will be impossible.
It is because of this threat that I am advocating the creation of a new Department in the US government:
The Department of Homeland Security will take the place of the defunct SAC in combating and preventing domestic terrorism in the form of a political takeover. This will be achieved by having a central agency for parties in need to come to for Congressional Blockers and also an agency that can call upon its members in a moment's notice to activate mobile voters to suppress any attempt of an enemy PTO.
WE NEED YOU!

Admins are ruining this game http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/seriously-1-1986376/1/20
Nothing about protecting the Freedom Alliance AFP from a PTO this month? I would think that a PTO attempt on them would be high up on somebody's agenda. Or are PTO attempts okay in some cases, but not others. =^P

You missed the rogue congressman in South Dakota. I hear he escaped from jail
Good patriotic article, however It seems like trying to shovel out the tide or closing the barn door after the escape of he horse; have you a way to revoke eGreen Cards presented/sold to players who represent foreign powers? Soon the eUSA will be unable to tell the players for want of a proper scorecard.
I liked the part where we just renamed an old program nobody liked that we got rid of.
If Pfeiffer Hates It...
IT'S GOTTA BE GOOD!!!
iv been wanting something like this for a while now

'I liked the part where we just renamed an old program nobody liked that we got rid of'
Why is it that you never have any suggestion and always put down anyone who does have one?.

Great idea.
Will this program also be available to help fight party takeover attempts by domestic entities, such as the shenanigans alleged here?:

p.s. I think I caught a glimpse of Pfeiffer when I dropped my daughter off at her karate studio the other day.
We need to keep AFP from taking over the #5 party spot since it is apparent their numbers are swelling with PTO-friendlies.
Of course Henry doesn't like it. D'oh, he was the "PTO threat" last month. This game is soooooooooooo full of dumbasses being dumbasses.
Whatever happened to #ATO?
in jude I trust
Pickle: the #ATO deteriorated to becoming a government sanctioned partisan strongarm group, who hit behind the guise of patriotism and duty to funnel votes to the "chosen ones" backed be a certain popular clique and top Party. it was abandoned because Pfeiffer developed enough influence behind closed doors to accomplish his personal goals, so he pushed the disbanding of #ATO "due to lack of interest."
This has already been thought of.... by me during the GoalieBCSC Administration. Think of your own ideas. FAIL.
