PPSA Candidate/Endorsement List

http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad270/LiLz1111/Decorated%20images/ceiling_cat-3.gif">

First, I apologize that this isn’t coming to you from the official PPSA newspaper, which is in the hands of currently inactive members. Since PPSA has wonderful active members, I want our friends to know what we’re doing, so I’m using Indaba during my time as Party President.

Qualifying for a PPSA Endorsement:

To a degree, elections are numbers games. Here’s how: As you know, we have security risks with which we must contend at every election. Congress elections are the biggest target for our opponents, mainly because congress approves citizenship requests. Party Presidents must be very careful as far as who they endorse.

I'll be honest: There are parties that only care about how many candidates get elected. They do no screening for security or past activity. In the current climate PPSA doesn't think that's the best practice.

PPSA takes that responsibility very seriously. All endorsed candidates were run past security to make sure they aren’t a suspected risk. Those who were felt to propose a risk were contacted with ideas on how they can change security’s perception of them but they weren’t endorsed. That is my choice – I’m very careful about who and what I lend my name to.

After creating the list of endorsable candidates, I went a step further and checked out their records. I researched the following: Their birth date, newspaper, donations list, friends list, fight record, past political office. I also look on the forum for activity. The results of that research is below.

Why should you care?

The people you elect decide who will be granted citizenship. Writing and passing rules for our citizens, making financial transfers, setting taxes … these are all the responsibility of congress. They gain gold (a Treasure Map) and a lot of Experience Points in exchange for their efforts and should be active every day.

Congress meets on forums. Members need to check in at least once each day. They should be public and involved, regularly demonstrating their caring for South Africa. Experience is wonderful, but so is new blood. New ideas and practices keep us growing and vibrant. Inactivity and seeing congress as nothing more than a chance for EPs and gold is another issue. Your vote puts these people in office – pay attention to whom you give something as valuable as your personal endorsement … know your candidates before giving one your vote.

EDIT: I must ask that you NOT vote for Gabriel Balogh. He is NOT and endorsed candidate; Please look at the information gathered as I checked on him the same way I did others:
Birth Date: Day 815
Military:
Rank - Colonel
Military Enlistment- None
Service Record – Zhunder shoes that his fight record is primarily PHOENIX, fighting regularly for Hungary. Though I didn't see him fighting directly against South Africa, I saw that he has fought against almost all of our close allies.
Political Experience: No experience in congress or as a CP
South African Activity: He is NOT registered on our forum. His newspaper is published in Hungary and in Hungarian, so he isn't in touch with the South African people. Friends and donations deal mainly with Hungarians.

THIS IS WHY COMMITMENT MATTERS ... someone who promised to run resigned to push the fight button a few times in another country in spite of the fact that he could fight from here. When he resigned someone completely uninvolved with the South African community and with a history of associating with Phoenix was able to place a candidature. This is why the involvement and commitment of our citizens is so important and appreciated.

Thanks to all who are standing by us.
