Congress of the Confederation - Game thread

[hcallega]

The Great State of Maryland demands it's voice to be heard! It is proven that protectionism and isolationism do little good for the people of this Confederation. And yet it has also been proven that when unrestricted free trade is encouraged, the jobs will follow the ships out of the ports. That is the case in the state of Maryland. We have seen our once great industrial jobs leave, due to the persistent support of free trade that this Congress has given.

While that must be said, trade with our Francophone neighbors to the South is not the same as trade with a third world nation. They are farmers and buisnessmen just like us, and with an accent only slightly more intense than that of our southern members. Therefore, the state of Maryland will support trade with our neighbors.

But this ammendment, which is aimed purely at the DuPont Corporations bottom line, does little to further either point. It does not protect the jobs of this nation outside of one field. And it gives special priveledge to two states! Therefore the Great State of Maryland VOTES NAY!
