Operation Swift Fury
Bradley Reala
Operation Swift Fury is an incredible idea by former President and current Secretary of State, Harrison Richardson, to save Croatia's political independence by running a primary before actual CP elections, and then moving as many voters as possible to Croatia to help secure their own election against Phoenix interlopers.
How does this work?
That's a very good question. By using the API we will allow voters to sign in using their eRepublik accounts. No one under level 10 (the game's requirement to vote) will be able to vote in the primary, and only those with American citizenship will be able to vote. All citizens will be able to cast their votes in the primary, and then the winner will be endorsed by the top party, with each other top 5 party putting up a blocker. This will only allow one legitimate candidate on the ballot, and will free up hundreds of votes to go protect Croatia.
Why are we doing this?
A plan to save Croatia from open citizenship was put into place by EDEN. This plan was screwed up by the admins, who, in their infinite wisdom, closed our resistance wars, and pushed them back seven hours (three hours too late to save Croatia from open citizenship like the plan originally called for). Because of this all of EDEN is opening up to save Croatia from a Phoenix backed political take over. Croatia regularly sacrifices everything for their allies, and it's now time to repay the debt.
How can I take part?
This is taken from Harrison Richardson's article, Operation: Swift Fury is a Go
"Voting will be done off-site on a website created by batterytime, the former Secretary of the Treasury and Director of the Congressional Budget Office. I will serve as Project Manager to oversee the process of the election. During the primary, I will invite 5 people, chosen by their Party President, to serve as election monitors on the first official United States Election Board. They will ensure that the process is fair and orderly.
To vote, citizens will have to be level 10 and have United States citizenship: the same requirements as in-game. The entire process is automated. Once your identity is verified via the now functional Erepublik API service, you will be allowed to vote. Once you vote, you will exit the polls. It is quite simple.
To be on the ballot, all you must do is send me a PM, in-game, with the simple message "I would like to be a candidate for the Presidency of the United States". If you wish for your Vice President to be listed with you, please either mention that in your initial message or send a completely new candidacy message, just as you did the first time, though this time mentioning your Vice President. I will not turn down any candidates."
In summary, to vote you will be able to go to a site, using the API to verify you. If you want to be on the ballot, send Harrison Richardson a PM with the simple message "I would like to be a candidate for the Presidency of the United States." Simple right? Awesome.
Stay tuned to Harrison Richardson's paper The Harry Dick Times for more information on this revolutionary election method.
In Summary
For the first time in many months our entire political system has gotten together and has agreed on something, not for political gain, but for the good of our nation. This is an incredible step forward, out of the petty political bickering we've been having recently. For the first time in quite some time I have seen a glimmer of the eUSA that I was born into. The eUSA that existed shortly after the invasion. An eUSA that stands together rather than bickering, and sacrifices for it's allies and for the good of its people. This is the America that I have so dearly missed, and I am proud to be able to say that I am a part of this great country.

Came hoping for Taylor Swift pictures 🙁
Cool story bro
First denied. Vote it up.
Voted.
very nice, I like!
Woohoo!
One caveat: the API's validation thing is super-duper slow, so if it hangs for you, don't be worried.
Support.
Nice idea to help Croatia.
But this will disenfranchise 2-clickers. (Maybe it doesn't matter because the V2 war module is driving away 2-clickers in waves anyway.)
As part of the campaign, this article needs to be printed in every major paper in the country ... especially the pols who support it. A reference in the DoD orders wouldn't hurt either.
I'm Rod Damon and I approved this message (even if the pictures in my articles are better)
thank you
Yay!
Good job president! somebody is actually thinking!!!

Interesting to choose the loser from the West Wing elections to be the picture.. Very interesting.
so, will API clear you if you already have foreign citizenship i.e. NK?
Good article. But do you know about my Phoenix spy partners- loserhailose, PizzatheHut and chickenguys?
Supporting Pizza the Hut, loserhailose, chickenguys and myself is supporting Treason against the United States. Support all four of us because we are here to misguide and misdirect newbies. Pizza the Hut and myself also makes dozens of multies everday because we have no life.
Vote Republican Party! Vote Phoenix! Because treason is my and Pizza the Hut's modus operandi. 😛
Inwegen: The reason I used Arnold Vinick in my paper is because he's played by Alan Alda, the same as my avatar in eRep. (Swift Fury itself is a West Wing reference)
