BUMP

[Former Moderate]

Perhaps a private message to the moderators would be more effective?

[Ebowed]

One of the moderators who hasn't been able to sticky this is running for Vice President.  Pathetic.

[SPC]

One of the moderators who hasn't been able to sticky this is running for Vice President.  Pathetic.

In Masterjedi's defense, he did tell me that he would be busy with school, and hasn't been actively campaigning for vice-president.

[Hashemite]

Who are the moderators over here that don't even read their PMs?

[Verily]

Who are the moderators over here that don't even read their PMs?

Gustaf and MasterJedi. (The moderators are listed at the top of every board.)

Also, could I ask Brandon not to waste our time with the Flag Burning Amendment and withdraw it before it comes up for a vote?

[Sibboleth]

After looking at the Notice Board, I've decided to pull some of my legislation in the morning. Yet to decide which yet, but I won't get rid of the minor reforms or social policy stuff.

I would encourage other Senators to do likewise.

[MasterJedi]

I've never recieved any PM's to sticky this so either something got screwed up or people are lying, I have gotten all the reported posts and as SPC said I have been really busy lately though that should be over now.

[Former Moderate]

I've never recieved any PM's to sticky this so either something got screwed up or people are lying, I have gotten all the reported posts and as SPC said I have been really busy lately though that should be over now.

Well, certainly, thanks for stickying this now.

[Ebowed]

# Enviromental Policy Bill of 2007 (Sponsor: Ebowed)
# Automatic Teller Machine Fees Bill (Sponsor: Ebowed)

I would like to move these in the queue from their current spot to after the "Miners Widow Bill"

This is to give Sen. Al a chance to defend all of his legislation before vacating the seat.

[Sam Spade]

Just a note - I accidentally skipped over the Flag Burning Amendment b/c I thought it was a Constitutional Amendment (as it would have to be in the US) and not a piece of regular legislation.  There was no purpose behind that error, and I will introduce it next, unless slot 6 opens up. (thanks to Ebowed for pointing this out.

[Brandon H]

I'll accept bumping up Al's bill over anything I am currently sponsoring.

I'll withdraw the flag burning amendment as well.

[Ebowed]

I'll withdraw the Automatic Teller Machine Fees Bill, Presidential Term Limits Constitutional Amendment, Amendments to the Reproductive Rights Act Bill

[Sam Spade]

I would like to note that with Al's leaving his office as Senator, under OSPR Article 3, Section 1, Clause 7 that his two remaining pieces of legislation will be withdrawn by public post by me.
