For the first time in history, the eDemocrats are going to host a discussion in the official external chat room. These are going to be the topics to be discussed on Sunday:
- Democratic Party name change
- DeP Welcoming Committee (several parts to this)
- DeP Party President Adviser
- Promotion of Gov\'t organizations
- Local elections, who gets what spot as mayor.
... and other topics as well.
Disclosure: Anybody who shows up to the discussion is going to be set as a mayoral candidate for their region.
If you are interested in viewing this discussion, or even participating in it, then be on the eUSA chat room at 7:30pm EST. If you don\'t know where this chat room is located, then privately message me for instruction on how to register.
I expect a fairly decent-sized crowd to show up.

US news - Name Change and Party Goals - May 05
So, for starters I have changed the name of the party slightly. Too often people look at the names of a party and associate them with their real-life counterparts. Lets face it, right now the Republican Party IRL is not all that popular and some may have been associating it with that.
I have contended for nearly 4 months now that associating real-life political views with a party here is completely undoable. The Democrats cannot vote Pro-Life here, because that does not exist in Erepublik. They cannot vote for "moral and just change" because there is no way to be immoral or unjust in a nation as diverse and independant as ours. If Nave and the US government tried to initiate ways to oppress our citizens through taxes and such, the owners could revolt against him. There's no way to control everyone, so those platforms dont exist.
What I offer is different simply because it's involvement. Thats what has improved our country over the last few months, not center-right or center-left. I ask that you, the citizen, look past the name of a party and into the person who runs it, the group who participates in it, and the feelings behind it. There will be change this coming elections, and that can start at any moment. You can change yourself for the eBetter right now, whether you consider yourself Democrat or Republican in RL has no bearing on that, and I can offer it to you. It's up to you to put in the work.
So, we are going to be eRepublicans for Change, partly because we are fresh of the heels of the closest election in months and partly because I did want to keep part of the name so I didnt offend some of the older members.
The kicker is that when they started this party, they associated it center-left anyway. No one cared then and I left it alone because I was new to the position. I am now going to change it to it's correct affiliations, simply for kicks.
My point is that it doesnt matter what side you affiliate with. The eRepublicans or the eDemocrats stem from the same beginnings here in Erepublik. We believe in many of the same things and use the same vehicles to accomplish our goals. If you take the time and be smart about your decision, you'd see you're simply associating with a name that suits you more, rather than the ideals that the party can instill.
Moving On
So, now that hopefully thats cleared up a little, we'll move on to our next order of business.
I will re-order the party shortly (as soon as I can figure out the link to see all the member pages, which is currently bugged at the moment). I am going to move some of our older members down in the order and some of the newer members higher up to hopefully inspire some more participation within our ranks. If you dont care what I do with the party and will vote for me, then great. If you read what I have promised and believe that I am the right person for the job, then speak up and let me know. Our party elections were rather paltry in votes, and I have enlisted Mr. Infernalstein to lead our recruiting section.
He has shown through his few days here that he has connections to bring people in, and hopefully with that, we can begin other programs.
Company Programs
I announced earlier today that I was going to sell weapons training. I am still going to sell it, but I am going to do so to someone within the Republican Party so they can "run" it and focus on the employment and security aspect of our party. That way they have a vehicle to offer jobs for newer members, etc. If someone wants to do this, then simply speak up. We can talk any time your ready. If you'd like to buy it outright, then let me know and we can talk about that as well.

U.S. Party Meeting
So, the Democratic Party had their first meeting this weekend. It had a decent turnout, and is a pretty good idea all things considered. I am not sure if the eRepublikans want to attempt this or what your schedules are like. If you do, let me know and we can try to arrange a time. Otherwise, you can always find me if you have something you'd like to discuss either here online or in the chat room.
Local Elections
I would like to remind you all that tomorrow the local elections will take place for the May to June mandate. Please remember to log on and cast your vote for who you think will do the best in each city.
Ideas for Mayors
Once again, I will follow up on the idea that I posted for Mayors in the last edition I released endorsing my candidates for Mayor. You may think that Mayors cannot do anything in Erepublik, but I beg to differ. I would say that the best course at the moment is to find a list of your citizens, and begin gifting programs. After all, it is their tax monies that you have, so why not put it to good use now instead of waiting until you can accumulate for a hospital? Who wouldnt want to boast of the highest regional productivity in Erepublik?
There have been others, such as Patrick Cornell and Justineous (sorry, I usually spell it wrong) that have started their own gifting programs.
Gift Market Boom
When we started the gift program through the Government, we all put together a list. Those people are still not gifted yet there are tons of gifts available on our market. If you are a citizen still in need of wellness, now is the time to question why you are not getting it. Before, we hadnt had full time to prepare for the program. Now the gifts are readily available, so that is no longer the case.
