Sponsor:  Senator Bgwah (on behalf of a constituent)

I am introducing this on behalf of one of my constituents (Jbrase). I did not write it:

The Don Quixote Amendment

1. All "At-Large" elected senators shall after the passage of this amendment be elected by the legislatures of the respective regions.

2. Every April, August, & December the Legislatures of the respective regions shall decided on one Senator each and shall submit their choice to the Secretary of Federal Elections no later than when an at-large election would have normally ended.

I have to agree with Fritz.  I will not be supporting this amendment.  The Atlasian senate is too small to have non-popularly elected senators.

I won't be voting myself out of a job. Also the regions already have representation. So I am opposed to this amendment.

Several problems, but in general I oppose changing the At-Large Senate election process.

As as majority of the Senate has made it clear they won't be supporting this, I would like to speed things up and simply withdraw it if possible.
