The Republicans have returned
Jefferson Lincoln
My friends it is with great pleasure to announce the return of the Republican Party to active American politics. For those of you who are unaware, the Republicans have been one of the interesting, controversial, and longest lasting political parties in the eUnited States. The party traces its roots back to the original party which was formed in October of 2008 around the end of beta. It’s survived in one form or another since then with different levels of activity. We’ve suffered through numerous PTO’s and attacks on our party, but we’ve still managed to prevail. Now we’re back and more determined than ever.
While our party numbers are still low due to the reformation of our domestic party over the last few months, we’re quickly reforming our infrastructure and our membership. We’ve taken control of the sixth ranked party in the United States, which was our original party, and we’re looking forward to expanding our numbers. Some of you may be wondering what the Republican Party stands for. Well here’s our party platform.
🙂
Sovereignty of sixth parties and the discouragement of domestic PTO’s
As many of you are aware, the Federal government has a record of discouraging sixth parties on the basis of “national security”. This is a stance that the Republican Party does not support. We feel that the independence of each party should be respected and the monopoly of top five parties should be dissolved.
We believe that the United States has been experiencing a stagnation which can be contributed to the use of the federal government and the top 5 parties PTOing and destroying any party which may pose a risk to the current political establishment. The effective banning of sixth parties from increasing its membership reduces what democracy we have left in America.
Any active party which does not pose a threat to the security of the nation should not be interfered with by either the United States military or any other domestic party or political organization. If we do not allow change smaller parties to rise up and challenge larger parties, we will be stuck in a state of stagnation that will continue to threaten our country.
Lower taxes and a free market economy
The Republican Party advocates a slightly reduced income tax that puts more money in the hands of the taxpayers and allows an expansion of the free market. We feel that with the recent economic and military changes our economy and nation as a whole can benefit from a reduced income tax.
Now that the new rule changes allow citizens to be employed in a foreign country, the United States will be put at a severe disadvantage with lower wages compared to nations such as Poland, Romania, and Taiwan. Tax evasion will become more severe from our citizenry and the United States will eventually experience a decrease in government funds.
We also support the continuation of free trade with our allies. We must realize that our country’s economy is based largely around war and that a steady and consistent stockpile of weapons must be available to our citizens. As studies have shown, our free trade economy allows for competition in our domestic market which creates lower prices for our populace. If we raise our import taxes, we run the risk of making our weapons and food prices unsustainable for a large number of our citizenry and may severely hurt retention in our country.
Fiscal responsibility and the streamlining of our government
Our party aims to trim the federal government and reduce spending on programs such as Meals on Wheels and Arm America. While we do understand that Interior Departments such as these are vital to our retention, we also feel that there is too much wasteful spending in these programs.
We support a stricter limit in the experience level that these programs can be utilized. There is no need for someone who’s reached the level of 18, 19, or 20 to be still relying on the Federal government for free food and weapons. By the Federal government handing out these products, we are reducing our economic growth in the private sector and raising the price of lower quality products that hurt lower level players who have not been contacted by these government organizations.
The Republican Party also discourages handouts in similar fashion to the “Operation Monkey Business” a few months ago. Promotions like these hurt domestic businesses and raise prices by taking competition out of the market. We must remember that nothing is truly free in both real life and elife.
Our party is welcoming to all. We support players from back in beta to newly born citizens. We have a diverse membership which includes original Republicans like loftedraptor and SVV to newcomers like deejster and Brickwall.

Go Jimmy Carter, go Democrats, go Blue Dog Coalition!
Go Republicans!
Welcome back to politics, seems some people are mad because you PToed the NoS party. Funny how it didn't bother them when s.e.e.s. PToed themselves into the top 5.
but... isn't taking over the NoS Party a pretty crappy first step to an otherwise inspirational future?
Well it's a rather unfortunate set of circumstances. However this originally was the Republican Party. Then it was PTO'd by Pizza, then Claire, and eventually taken over by NoS. I wish this wasn't the way it happened but in my eyes we're fixing the original wrong and restoring the Republicans back to its proper party.
Two wrongs don't make a right. You just did a domestic PTO of a domestic party which is something you yourself said you stand against. Apparently that only holds true when it hurts you.
We welcome the return of the Rep. Party. This party was ours and is ours today. Let us come together for a common purpose and that purpose is to bring the right tone and plans for our party guys. Many will talk bad, some will say good things about us, so what, we are here and we are back!!!!
That`s not exactly true. It was our party and we`ve finally got the leadership back in place to give it it`s original name. We`re just giving the party back it`s non-PTO name. I would also like to point out that NoS was being used as a "national security" party to help block 6th parties from competing with the top 5.
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

I cannot wait until orgs are invalid.
Sure is org vote in here.
OH SHIT LOOK AT ALL THOSE ORGS!
>October 2008
The Republican Party has been around since January of 2008, thank you.
Republicans are back!!! Woohoo!!!!!!! GOP!!GOP!!GOP!!GOP!! I fully support this cause.
GO REPUBLICANS!
Go Republicans! Wait just a minute, I thought the Republicans that didn't go to Macedonia joined the ADTP, which was re-renamed as the Libertardians.
Oboy! Ronald Reagan pictures!
So... is the Republican plan to defund education, wreck the economy, oppose science, stir up hatred, offend all of our allies, and smash up any kind of consumer safety regulations, or is that only in real life? ^_~
SFP: the only sensible alternative.
"Our party is welcoming to all. We support players from back in beta to newly born citizens. We have a diverse membership which includes original Republicans like loftedraptor and SVV to newcomers like deejster and Brickwall. " Brickwall is an old time Republican, way old time. You left out Pantherthug89 who was the originating President and paid for the thing in the first place. I helped him take it back from the Communists It originally was the Wiggs Party I think he said.
My bad loft.
Here is some more history of our Party just when we PTOed it back from the bad guys the first time. 🙂
----"It seems even as Dishmcds took his dictatorial power in
Mexico, the American communists of the Communist Party of
the USA, or CPUSA, staged their own small-scale
revolution, liberating their party from the Stalinist
Mombassa. The new General Secretary of the Party is Lt.
pantherthug89, also of the Nat'l Guard. Lofty and Thuggy,
as they are affectionately known within the party,
promise a new type of Communist, one devoid of the
Stalinist images conjured up by former General Secretary
Mombassa."

This was before it was re-named Republican and cleaned and made fit for Patriotic Americans
The Republican Party has no association with RL, so I think Phoenix Quinn, you should take a break. I have no desire to go to political war with the SFP, a party I have strong ties with and hope to continue to maintain friendship with.
Also, the Republican Party has a long history before the arrival of Ajay Bruno and its transformation into that form. This party is a return to the old party, which has stood for a strong America, and is not a fan of the moralfag ideology which has plagued eAmerica for a long time.
Go Republican Party!
I was the founder of the Republican Party. After I departed there was a huge lull in activity and it was a party up in the higher scale of population making it an easy target to PTO as obviously it would take less recruiting to get it in the top 5 but would have less opposition with a low membership base. It was taken advantage of by the likes of Pizza the Hut and eventually taken by NoS once Claire Littleton 'liberated' the party. I actually had brief discussions with her and thanked her for freeing the Republican Party and asked if she would return it to the original name. Obviously that didnt happen. Either way the true eRepublican Party is back as how it should be
@loftedraptor, Thanks for the history lesson.
I`ve learned that a lot of eU.S. parties are running communes. At the Socialist Freedom Party we are making food cheaper, helping to organize the elections and helping to liberate anyone that is oppressed.
Please do not hate the communes.
At civil unrest-- At one time we were gung ho for Communes but they never materialize. They seem to work fine for S.E.E.S, you guys and a few others. You have to be dedicated to giving up everything you got for them to work well, however.
Depends on a player's Goals
Glory to the GOP
Richard Nixon II is p cool.
LOL, panther, you are so stupid. You "thanked" her... she never wanted ANYONE to lead a strong GOP... or she could have supported Nixon. People like you are pathetic.
@ PTH Do you got to piss everyone off?? Save it for the bad guys!
What, no Pat & Dick photos? We want Dick.
LOL ssomo!
Truth is, SVV and a number of Reps are and have long been gentlemen, honest players and even friends of the SFP. (Not so much PTH and a few others.) It was the picture of Raygun that set me off.
What a waste of top 5 space.
Although I wish the NoS wasn't destroyed, the Republicans aren't bad to have around
Keep Pizza the Hut away from your party, and we'll be good 🙂
inb4teaparty
wait wut
I have nothing against the Republicans, but the way this happened was bad.
NoS was an active party, for them to be taken over like this, just because someone inherited a PP spot when someone else rage quit is just wrong. I understand that the party was originally the party housed by the Republicans, but that was months ago and NoS was doing a great job being an active 6th party, even helping out in ATO situations around the US. If the republicans wanted to launch an effort to reclaim the party, Party President elections happen on the 15th. Do it then, not like this. This is dirty.
