Hello Nation,

We’re a great nation. Does it shock you to hear that? It definitely shocks me. It’s one of those things that really shouldn’t have to be said, like “your wife sure is a woman.” Unfortunately it seems that now a days we have to say it, as our government has seem to have lost its edge. Competent governance is something our nation could use a dose of, as the last few weeks have shown. We need people that have the experience, and know how to make government work again for all. We need people that will be there when our country needs it. Which is why I am running for CP!

I have had a lot of fun playing this game. During that time I have had the pleasure of holding the following positions:

Vice President x2
Speaker of the House x2
Party President of USWP x3
Secretary of Interior
Secretary of Media
Press Secretary
Secretary of Homeland Security
Represented both 6th parties and USWP in congress 21 times
Member of SCI
Deputy Secretary of State

I have made it my mission the past couple of weeks to build a team of the most competent, hard working, and experienced people our nation has to offer. Our nation does not have the stability to simply hope for people to show up, and know how to run our country. We need the people that have been there to build and guide our nation. I am very excited to share my cabinet with you. I will be releasing it tomorrow so that everyone can see the team I have built.

Competency is not something most use as a guiding principle as their campaign. It’s much easier to simply throw together some nice sentences, and platitudes. Our country does not have time for that though. We have been promised so much; from our reserves can win us battles, to our position in the world is stable. That can be the case, but with the right hand guiding us. Promises are not results, and results can only be given by those with the experience to know how to deliver them. My team, and I know how to deliver those results.

Foreign Policy

We need to strengthen our ties with our allies. Foreign adventures can be had when they are created in a cautious and well planned manner. I'm much more concerned with strengthening ties with close allies and balancing our relations in regard to the great powers (Ex-SIRIUS and ASTERIA). Our current posture is precarious, and needs to be rebalanced. We need to reassure our allies that we are there for them, while also making our moves on the international stage with care, and planning.

Domestic  Policy

One of the most important aspects in this game is the media module. It allows players to communicate ideas, and for the government to inform its citizens. I think the Media Dept needs to be reenergized. I look back fondly on the media campaigns that led up to military conflicts. We were able to create real excitement through the proper trolling, and articles. This should be a very fun aspect of the game, and I know it can be reworked under the right experienced guidance.

Over the next week I will show you that we can be a great nation. That with the right people we can win. We don’t have the time to simply wait, and hope. America needs to show its allies, and the world that we are a great power, right now. America can be great, we just need the right people in charge. I hope to prove to you that I, and my cabinet are the people who can make us great. Because America is awesome, and we should not settle for second best. Thank you.

My cabinet:

Hello Nation,

The eUS needs strong leadership. It needs people who know what they’re doing. We cannot afford to allow ourselves to be relegated to second best. With that as my guiding principle I created this team, in order to bring back America’s greatness. They have proven their ability to lead, and get results. This is what America needs now.

Vice President

Molly Emma is my Vice President. She is a former 2 time president, with the experience, and know how to make sure that our country is heading in the right direction.

Chief of Staff

Israel Stevens is the best Chief of Staff I have had the pleasure of working under. Even today he is held as the golden standard, and example of how best to do the job. Really a great addition to the team.

Secretary of State

Tyler Bubblar is one of my closest friends, and advisors in this game. His being a 3 time president, 2 time Chief of Staff, and former Secretary of State are only the icing on the cake here.

Secretary of Defense

dmjohnston is one of the best Secretary of Defense to have ever held the position. He is also a former 2 time president, and all around great guy. I have had the pleasure of working with him before, and am really excited for the opportunity to do it again.

NSC Co-Chairs

Gnilraps, and Senyraku have both proven their excellence in this game. Gnilraps being a 2 time former president, and Senyraku having great run as Secretary of Defense the last few months. They will be bringing their talents to NSC in a way that has me very excited.

Co-Secretaries of Citizen’s Affairs

EddieA, and Blande have a proven record of success that I know will only make this department stronger. EddieA is a relative newcomer to this game, but has been doing a great job in the DoCA that he deserves this recognition. Blande has served as Secretary of Education multiple times, and most recently as Chief of Staff. The energy these two will bring to this department is undeniable.

Secretary of Media

Resoula has been serving in the media department for awhile now. When I was Secretary of Media I remember his work being very impressive. Along with his experience as PP of the Black Sheep this choice was a no brainer.

Press Secretary

Tenshibo will be my successor. Truly the most important part of the team, and a very welcome contributor to the PDB.

Secretary of Homeland Security

No one will be serving as Secretary of Homeland Security. The position is no longer relevant, or necessary and has become a shameful way to score political points. I’m not interested in playing politics, I’m playing eRepublik. Which is why I am removing the position from my cabinet.

I chose this team because I know they are the best our country has to offer right now. This cabinet was not chosen with any political motive, but with only the interest of the country in mind. We can’t afford to play politics with our future.

This cabinet has my utmost confidence, and will serve this nation well.
