10:00 update: Crisis Over
ligtreb
7:30 update: The admins have taken the Republicans off of the ballot. I thank the admins for doing this, we all should. So long as the admins hold their decision, THE USA IS NO LONGER UNDER THREAT.
With the USA no longer under threat, elections can return as normal. All people with foreign citizenships are encouraged to keep them.
10:00 update: The admins have spoken. Relevant part:
Q2. What measures do you take against PTO?
A2. We put this question here because we want to bring to your attention to one case in particular, that we dealt with today. We’ve spotted a case of PTO in US Congress elections. To be more specific, the Republican Party entered in the top 5 parties using unlawful methods so we so we had to take action and interfere, thus: the illegal citizen accounts used were permanently suspended, the candidates were removed from the race and so there are only 4 parties participating to this election. All that we can say now is “may the best win!”
Thank you to the admins. Elections can proceed as normal, the USA is safe.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE BELOW, WHICH NO LONGER APPLIES WITH REPUBLICANS OFF OF THE BALLOT. I am keeping the article for historical purposes.
*************************************************************************************
THIS IS NOT A DRILL, THIS IS THE REAL THING. This is America's biggest challenge since we were invaded a year ago.
All USA citizens are advised to hold their votes.
Pizza the Hut and his group of anti-Americans and PTOers have succeeded in moving into the Top 5, meaning the ballot in nearly every state has an enemy combatant on the ballot. We have to stop them from winning as many seats as possible.
What you can do to help
Before your last login, go on to IRC (chat.mibbit.com , Chatzilla and rizon.net are common ways to get on). Go to channel #ato for instructions on who to vote for. Moving tickets should be provided there for those who need them. If you can't get on IRC, check out the recent topics at the eUS forum.
Please shout this and other relevant articles, so all citizens see them. Those of you active in the military or political parties, make sure instructions are posted on your forums.
Why this is important
Many of the candidates in the Republican Party are proven enemies of the USA, having originated from countries we're at war with. If they gain a majority of congress, it can be the end of our country. I am not joking.
What is being done
Shortly after reset, members from every party leadership that was online, along with members of the executive branch came together to name a winner in each state that we need to elect. This might sound like democracy has been taken away, but in a real democracy, enemies of the state can't get on the ballot. Here are the people that worked on picking the candidates we want to win.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexander Hamilton
Former President Chocolate McSkittles
S.E.E.S. Representative Devon Donaldson
Federalist Party Representative Henry Arundel
Chief of Staff Inwegen
Federalist Party Representative JDR1986
United Independents Party Representative Kazeal
United States Workers Party Representative Laxsnor
Former Vice-President ligtreb
Vice-President Publius
S.E.E.S. Representative Tom McDougal
And this is the list we came up with. We tried to give each party equal representation while choosing the best candidates in each state. Party Presidents (and St Krems) will still have a chance to weigh in on this when they wake up and get online, but the final list will look similar to this. If you need to vote right now, vote for one of these candidates:
Alabama: George Armstrong Custer
Alaska: Beea
Arkansas: twisted-pixel
California: ligtreb
Chongqing: sneakyninjapants
Colorado: Richard Nixon II
Delaware: GLaDOS

SAVE YOUR VOTES.
How many of your Congress people still have citizenship passes to grant?
Vote this up to the max!
Looks bad. Some might need to come back from Croatia. Are we ready to move people back on a day notice?
This pizza is a little bit burnt. I don't like it.
Please hold your votes and listen to ligtreb.
DO NOT VOTE REPUBLICAN
If you're voting Republican, you're doing it wrong.
This message is endorsed by ICE and the Federalist Party. Do not vote Republican.

Now I understand how the Australians felt when they were getting PTO'd by Indos.
Don't vote Republican.
Americans need to put aside their party politics and work together to deal with this real threat to American national security. Please volunteer to assist with the ATO effort and don't let the Huns win!
I'm running against a Republican candidate in Colorado. Any help to defeat him would be appreciated.
These are all lies perpetrated by the liberal media.
And that's when the shit hits the fan.
Thank you Pizza the Hut.
Every single media article is a lie then. I gotcha.
I am tired of you. Just leave our game already. There is no way conceivable that your party that you run gained 80 members in 20 minutes.
Get a life, do something more productive with your life, please.
These are all lies perpetrated by the liberal media
Lets save our country!!
save the country, hold your vote!
Uncle Sam wants you to Hold Your Vote!
These are all lies perpetrated by the liberal media.
i hate to bring this up.... but if we were to.... you know.... fail..... can we go to canada?
As Vice President, I endorse this article as legitimate.
Don't let what happened to us Aussies happen to you. Hold your vote!
S.E.E.S. puts its full backing behind this article.
Save America!
Indeed, a necessary evil.
The destruction of Democracy is never a necessary evil and I am ashamed that the eUS has stooped to such a level as to "fix" the elections of a free peoples. It's as if our citizens are not smart enough to elect who they want so our government has selected them for us. I can support the message to not vote Republican candidates, but I can not support the burning of American freedoms on a rigged election!
I officially withdraw support of this effort though still support efforts to stop the PTO! This is America and our freedoms are more important than a dictatorship of a Congress decided by the government.
Don't vote Republican Party nor glados or max wallingnottom III...

Dont let your voice be squashed vote for yourself and speak out for Democracy!!
PS Dio sucks
People telling other people who to vote for? This, my children, is the classical example of USA democracy... Are you yankies gonna try to attack Russia some more? There's nowhere to go to battle, it's boring. Just one battle, Hungary vs Poland, and there's no Polak in sight... I need some eden blood on my infantry boots!!!
This is not a democracy. It is a republik. Settle down. Go ligtreb!
Democracy extremists can breathe again, for Pizza got owned.
Thank you, eAmerica, for coming together like this and thank you, Admins, for seeing those 40 Huns and saying "PTO? No way!" It warms the cockles of my heart. ^.^
Say, why is it admins job to eliminate PTO's?? Why is it illegal? I mean yea it's kind of dirty fighting, but that's real. That's what america does in RL all over the world. The only problem I see is if you use multies...
Is anybody here? No answer? That's kind of gay... Ok no biggie... Oh, almost forgot... Hail Phoenix! 😃
They didn't eliminate a PTO. They found "membership irregularities", which implies cheating of some sort. If you want to try to PTO the eUSA without cheating, knock yourself out.
See you in Liaoning, troll.
Go back to World of Warcraft 'couse I ain't no Troll. XD
"membership irregularities"? Yea how 'bout specifics? (not that I give a s*** aboout you getting PTOed). And I hope I finnaly do see you in Liaoning, but for real this time since you are really lame the last few times. (smiley face)
why is this illegal? It was done using Multies
Total horseshit
If it was done using multies, than thats totally fine. I just got the idea that PTO is illegal all together from some comments, my bad.
@Illusive: Ask the admins if you really care.
@ThomasRourke: BAWWW. Go create another militia if you need to feel special, traitor.
Illusive: We’ve spotted a case of PTO in US Congress elections. To be more specific, the Republican Party entered in the top 5 parties => using unlawful methods so we so we had to take action
I find it rather distressing that in many eNations, we cannot get admin attention for PTO's yet somehow when the Republican Party gained enough members to get into the top 5 it was immediately removed from the ballot by the admins. -=-=- They claim they care about small nations then ignore the PTO threats in them but take care of the eUS's potential PTO woes in the blink of an eye.
I was left off the list 😞 Its ok Richard Nixon II is a great candidate for the Republicans in exile and will do our party in exile good.
