Last month I made a promise,
After this month I will take a vacation to allow newer players the ability to run. One year in Congress is enough for anyone to leave their mark.
I am announcing that I will keep that promise by not seeking a 13th term for Congress. This does not mean I will never run again, but I truly feel there is more patriots out there qualified to serve in Congress besides the ones who go back over and over again. I mean
Molly Emma has served 22 terms and is looking for her 23rd, 
Sivle has served 13 terms and is looking for his 14th (sorry, got a brag a minute 
Sivle and I go back a long way. http://prntscr.com/2l6n5y http://prntscr.com/2l6npb http://prntscr.com/2l6oa5 
)
Now I am in no way trying to discourage their running, that is between them and frankly I have nothing bad to say about them. I simply have made my decision and they have made theirs, nothing dishonorable about it.
As I look back over my time in Congress I am humbled by all those who supported me, and gave me a chance to play a role in shaping our modern eAmerica.
During my 12 victories I received the most votes of any candidate 6 times, second most 3 times, forth most twice, and eighth most once. Thank you so very much for trusting me to this level! You guys are great, and I hope I did not let any of you down.
The most fun I had in Congress was being the one guy nearly everyone wanted to strangle
Upon request of several business owners, I fought a fight I did not believe in and nearly won it for them in challenging low import taxes on products created here. I ALWAYS questioned the Executive's war plans, NEVER agreed to go to war unless the Executive gave good reason, and I was ALWAYS annoying the Treasury by asking to lower taxes
.
What can I say... I HAD A BLAST!!!! I am going to have withdrawals, and will probably lose self control and run next month, but I am sure there are many who are singing praise that now Congress can go about its business without threat of the dumb Texan pulling a Ted Cruz filibuster
Anyways, I ask that you look deep into the candidates. Make sure that when you vote you will be electing a player who fights for you. I always prided myself in being "the Peoples Congressman" and hope you elect some new blood that feels the same way. Don't vote for someone because they are your friend. One of the Congressmen that KEEPS being re-elected with HUGE numbers has maybe only participated in deep discussions a dozen times or so.
With that I bid Congress adieu for now, and hope to welcome in a young Congressman full of the great American Spirit!
Regards,

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
