President/VP:

Gay Marriage
Aye.

Death Penalty - have to split this vote up, I'm afraid:
"The Progressive Caucus condemns the practice of executing juvenile criminals as regressive."
Aye.
"We oppose the practice of the death penalty in the majority of cases and would only support in cases of terrorism, treason and serial murder."
Since the Atlas Feds have abolished the Death Penalty and they would be the one in charge in cases of terrorism and treason, this clause is regressive. Nay.
"We call for reform of the system that will require stricter standards of evidence and more capacity for Appeals courts to conduct actual innocence review in addition to the procedural reviews."
Aye.

School Prayer
Aye.

Sex Education and Contraception in Schools
Aye.

Media Regulation
Aye.

Taxation
Aye.

Education
Aye.

The Pledge of Allegiance
Neutral.

Environment
Aye.

Pornography
Aye.

(I'm supposing these supersede the votes on the Forum, so I have to vote again?)
President/VP: Lewis/TD
D1: Neutral
D2: write-in Akno, 2pref MAS
D3: Nym
D4: Neutral (I personally endorse States though)
D5: Hugh

Um, I agree with most of your platform. Sections 1, 2, 3, 7, and 9.  Are you going to kick out all members who don't agree with all of it?

Progressive Caucus Newsletter

I would like to encourage all Progressive Caucus members (and anybody else particularly interested) to sign up for the Progressive Caucus newsletter because it makes it much easier for me to get in contact with you.
