Former White House of Purple State/Marokai Blue

[Purple State]

The solution to this ultimately should be that the SoIA takes the reins on the more wonkish, data-driven items, with impact story lines coming from the GM.

The GM, SoIA and SoEA should all be working in tandem to drive story lines, the latter two through data (e.g. effects of lower/raising taxes, foreign aid and policy) and action (e.g. overseas trips, implementing legislation) and the former through development of stories around those things.

Of course, that is pretty idealistic, but that has always been my vision of those offices. The trouble comes when any one of those offices falls into inactivity.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I've been trying to get a hold of foreign aid data, but was never able to receive it.  Once a new GM comes in, I can quickly get it out, in tandem with a new foreign policy review, likely at the end of the month.

Mr. President,

Due to Senators laziness, despite Mr. PPT wild efforts, with nothing new passed, I'm bored, so don't blame me.

Make it so that the middle looks like the beginning and end (i.e. legislation is listed by month and year, not just by Senate).

That should keep ya busy.

Woot!

I'm amused that people were arguing about what type of GM would be best, when, in reality, Atlasia has only had one competent GM of any sort in its history, and that man is in the Oval Office right now

Here's hoping Badger is #2!

I'd speak up only to say that back in the mists of time, Mr Spade was a fine GM.

[Badger]

Thank you for your endorsement and confidence, Mr, President. My primary goal if confirmed is simply to do as good a job in the office as you did.

Mr. President, this bill has passed.

[Purple State]

I just want to apologize for my inactivity in the past week. Tests and another Jewish holiday kinda crept up on me. I should be all good moving forward though.

Announcement

As mentioned by SoEA Benconstine in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in this passage...

You must be logged in to read this quote.

... I ask the Senate to consider a bill that would help spur education initiatives at the local level throughout the Middle East. For too long, the countries in the region have failed to provide adequate education, producing a gap that is filled by radicals and extremists. Too many children are brought up in the shadow of violence and hate, not because their parents want them to kill, but because they want them to have better opportunities.

We must address this with an all-of-government approach, including high-level discussions between SoEA Benconstine and world leaders, as well as through commitments from the Senate to provide greater resources to nations in the region. I look forward to working with the Senate on this crucial issue.

Thank you Mr. President.  It's nice to see that someone not from The Nyman Times is paying attention.

Just a note: my university starts tommorow, but I doubt it would limit my works on wiki reforms.

Perfectly understandable either way. Just keep the communication open.

It does not as it is a resolution expressing the sentiments of the Senate, rather than a statute. I do thank the Senate for its timely action.

Very Important Announcement

The Constitutional Convention is reaching its end, with the final two documents being voted on as we speak.

At this time, delegates and all Atlasians are welcome to offer their thoughts on an amendment to ANY part of the new Constitution, which will be considered all at once in one final amendment vote coming up in the next 48-72 hours. This means that any changes you would like to see to the current document should be offered right now.

Here is the relevant announcement in the Convention thread:

During the next 48 hours, please offer any amendments, as well as debate, that you would like to see considered for any part of the document. This is your last chance to make finishing touches to any of the more controversial changes, including dual-office holding, regional legislatures, the legislative restart, etc.

Feel free to offer opposing variations to amendments as well, which will then be brought up as a package vote.

Here is the relevant links to help you out:

Constitutional Convention thread

Constitutional Convention completed documents page

Please review the completed documents and post here or in the Convention thread with your comments, ideas or amendments. I would be happy to offer well thought out amendments on behalf of non-delegates.

This is a crucial moment in this process, as the next step is a final vote and then presentation to the regions for approval.

Thanks,
~President Purple State

Articles VII and VIII have been passed and the entire proposed Third Constitution is now nearly set. There is now just under 24 hours remaining for the proposal of amendments to any part of this document, before a final vote and presentation to the regions for the ratification process.

Please, I implore all the citizens of Atlasia, read through the completed documents page (linked in the quoted announcement above) and propose any amendments in this thread or in the Constitutional Convention thread (also linked above). Even if you don't know how to word the amendment properly, provide your thoughts and I will help you out.
