The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Well-Im here-I took the Oath, I guess I should be getting to work. Its an Honor and Privilege to serve.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

After reading the bill, I vote Aye.

I feel it is not the governments role to fund/administer Drug Test to students who attend Private Schools. If the School can pay for it, they can do it. Only Public Schools should receive Public Funding.

Id like to introduce the Self Ownership Bill to the legislature.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Nay.

(also my internet is down for hours at a time-Comcast is fixing it tommorow, sorry for my delay)

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Will the broadcasters right to charge any fee they desire be protected?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Will the broadcasters right to charge any fee they desire be protected?

The Archives are protected by the copyright laws. All of the networks actually pay for videos by the archives.  So no, they can't charge

Ah ok. I lean towards Aye on this vote, nothing wrong with it at all.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Aye.

I would like to re-introduce this.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I support it, and would vote Aye.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I believe that a legal protection of a person right to decide what to do with their organs is needed. If the government of the region/Atlasia got so big (which is extremley unlikely), then they cant force citizens to give there organs.

Why would a larger government size allow said government to tell its citizens what to do?  China has one of the smallest governments in the world yet exerts many times more control over its populace than, say, the United States, which has a much larger government.

The Communist beuracracy that is China has one of the LARGEST governments in the world, let alone the most complicated.

What?  China has much smaller military spending and no real safety net (meaning no social security/medicaire/medicaide).  That right there is the vast majority of the US budget.  How, then, is it statistically possibly for China's government to be larger?

Oh yeah, Aye.

A Larger government in the general control of its citizens. Its safe to call them Totalitarian.

I vote AYE.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I voted Nay on the bill, and will vote Aye to repeal it.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

The Emperor can only remove stuff from Omnibus bills, right? And perhaps the parts removed from bills should be kept on the wiki, with this format.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Aye.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I feel the "Amendment to the Southeast Constitution on Amendment Procedure" is a great law, but is impratical. I think it must be repealed and reformed. Direct Democracy is not a easy process.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Aye.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Regarding the Levon Helm Bill......hey its a hell of alot better then Cowboy Poetry right?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

     How does Cowboy Poetry relate to this, exactly?

Harry Reid reference...

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Yeah, I didn't know who Helm was until I looked him up on Wikipedia.  I don't really care either.  So let's wait for tb75 and taft to show up and then I will put it to a vote.

You never heard of the Band!?!

I just had to add this, I know how ridiculously stupid it is.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I vote Aye!

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Sanchez, you had quite a comprehensive platform in the last election.  Do you want to try and put any of that into legislation?

Nope

Yeah, I have been reading up on the laws to see which is done and which is not though.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Here are some amendments....

I added to D the word "Minor". Child killers deserve the penalty of death as well.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

     It would have to wait until next Friday to be put on the ballot.

Good-Hopefully it will pass.
