Federalist Party Statement on AIM
Derphoof
The Federalist Party recognizes that many legitimate non-PTO citizens of this country feel disenfranchised. With a lack of meaningful battles, they feel left out on the battlefield and ignored in the halls of the legislature. As such, those citizens have taken action. They have formed a collective of MU’s called US-AIM (United States Association of Independent Militias).
The Feds have been watching the development of US-AIM and are encouraged by their initiative to make positive changes for the nation. Many in the association feel that, in addition to having boring battles, they have been left out of the national conversation.
We are here to say that we agree and they will not be ignored.
Every legitimate citizen in this nation should have a voice. In a democracy, such as our own, everyone should be able to contribute to the democratic process. The Federalist Party endeavors to uphold the basic principles and integrity of our democracy, such as their ability to participate in government. As such, we are delighted to see a group organizing, participating in national debate, and pushing for what they believe in.
The primary mission of US-AIM is this: “To promote the prominence of independent military units in the eUS and to advocate for their interests. This will be achieved through joint recruitment, war games, and joint deployment operations.” - DMV3
The Federalist Party hereby resolves to support the new military interest group, US-AIM, in their endeavor to maximize their voice in government and power on the battlefield.
The Feds agree that the nation is starving for action and that our leaders in government need to embrace greater risks. The USA needs war and we sympathize with US-AIM in their pursuit of fun and action. The Feds are hopeful that our national policy will quickly come to realize this, and that our government will lead us to a meaningful war.
With so many of our party members in AIM MU’s, such as EZC, Praetorian Guards and JCS MU’s, we have a vested interest in helping the AIM Movement. However, we also have many members in the USAF and in the National Government. As such, we will strive, cooperatively, to support US-AIM and reconcile their objectives with our national needs.
We will ensure that their voice is heard and their influence is felt. We share members and we share interests. We are in this together.

proud/horny
imo... a party issuing a statement for a group that has nothing to do with the party is stupid. the excuse that we are teh #1 party just makes us look smug.
waste of time and too much roleplay
agreed.. some things just don't need to be addressed, though i guess jumping on the bandwagon of aim-supporters could work, but to me it's just making the party look desperate
exactly. desperate... then smug.
Yes I am ever so annoyed when political parties take interest in national events and try to organize and use their influence in a helpful way. It's like just shut up and put together some IRC games already. Give free stuff away to multis. That's what people really want. Let the gov do their gov thing and let a gigantic military organization do theirs. The people really shouldn't even be discussing these things, let alone trying to bring sides together.
INAPPROPRIATE
I for one, was happy to see that someone was looking upon us favorably.
Yeah, we wouldn't want the country's largest party to have a position on such a major national issue would we? That's silly
Good article, Seemed a very reasonable statement to me.
Good point Colin. Let their voices be heard
I LOLD HARD on this one. Voted and agreed! Even thought some may interpret it as opportunism, a party address will clear a few things,
Voted for intense sarcasm.
Agreed.

Boooo
ooooobs!
Strength and Honour
Nothing wrong with a party issuing a statement in support of a group.
I don't even really see it as being solely in support of AIM. More like supporting the idea.
You have a group of citizens who have organized together to lobby their government.
You have a government that really needs to work with that group of citizens.
And here we have a statement from a large and influential party saying we want to help those sides come together. As Feds are in a unique position to do so, I'm glad they're using their size and influence for something worthwhile rather than just organizing poker nights or something.
In my mind, parties (and really all groups) become completely irrelevant by choice. Feds are making a different choice. I would hope if anyone could understand and respect that, it would be those in AIM.
butthurt duly noted
That sounds like a jab at the AMP poker tournament of which I happen to be participating in 2 hours. Subtlety is not your strong point.
No, I believe its sincerely a fed jab. I'm organizing a poker night for the Feds as well.
Not at jab at any poker tournament. A jab at any party that thinks a poker tournament is the pinnacle of social responsibility. Not sure what AMP thinks, only what the Feds have put forward as a party.
Maybe a RL smoking night/drinking and get on IRC and curse each other out drunk and high would be better?
Poker Night? *Blushes*
Thank you Feds. Glad you wanted to hop on board our train for a quick ride. Feel free to be ONE OF THE MANY political parties that is represented by US-AIM members.

"........ political parties.......represented by US-AIM members. "
A very apt description of the possible paradigm shift.
Military Officers - Not elected
Congressional Representatives and Presidents - Elected
AIM doesn't represent me.
Actually, calling them, "Elected," is a stretch. Vote for this guy or abstain, form voting. That has been the rule
Maybe I was not clear enough. AIM is only represented politically by its individual members and their elected representatives. UM is not a part of the equation at all, so indeed Hawkie has nothing to do with AIM. It works out beautifully for all of us.
"be ONE OF THE MANY political parties that is represented by US-AIM members."
Contradiction:
First Statement: Parties represented by AIM
Second Statement: AIM represented by Parties.
The first implies that if my party releases a statement supportive of AIM (Has happened) then AIM sees itself as my representative; You say this is not true in your second statement.
As I read it, Cubby meant to say that the Feds are ONE OF THE MANY political parties represented *in* AIM.
Thank you for correcting my statement Gnilraps. I'm having trouble being any more clear for the dense in the crowd.
I doubt it's my density that keeps you from utilizing the English language properly.
herp derp
This seems a bit surreal: for many months no party seems to have "noticed" the growing sense of disenfranchisement, distrust, displeasure and disdain which coalesced into AIM.
Strongly disagree. We talk about it all the time and have taken action in other ways (dismantling certain figures and organizations, moving newer people into positions, taking over in certain areas). Just because we don't rant and rave in the media and complain at every turn doesn't mean no one has noticed and it certainly doesn't mean no one has done anything.
We're just not an MU, we're a political party.
I am delighted to read that your party has long been aware of the profound irritants which, unfortunately, no party chose to discuss openly and thoroughly in the public media. Agreed that ranting and raving is not beneficial. Also, there is limited newspaper space and what space there is has been devoted to more pressing discussions like..... I can't remember but I'm sure that the whole PTO thing and UNITY and stuff has distracted all operatives from all parties. Perhaps the present article is a move in the direction of further exploration and that is all for the good.
Olivermellors, its been all over the media for months. Its hard NOT to notice it. Its talked about all the time on IRC and forums.
Even many Feds have been attacking the establishment lately, taking to the forums with their disdain of Unity, and trying to find other ways to have fun in this game.
You make my point for me. The growing unhappiness was obvious. Yet, it was not addressed. It is as if something so obvious was just ignored by the political class... a little like "let them eat cake if they have no bread". Well, I may be mistaken, but it would be good to move quickly to the "addressing" part.
kind regards
Good Statement o/
This has something to do with nuptials Donkey Kong has heard about?
Donkey Kong congratulate happy couple.
abstain b4 nuptials?
Meh.
dmv's personal conduct would NOT be acceptable in the ACTUAL Praetorian Guards.....
Love you too RGR! Can we be BFFs again?
Good thing we live in ancient Rome and not a game made up of people with names like"PenisMonkey." What I really enjoy about this fictional game is the realism.
And to be honest the ancient Romans would have very little issue with my personal conduct. 😃
RGR's personal conduct would NOT be acceptable in the ACTUAL Republican party.
...I mean IS NOT. 🙂
