End relations with Saudi Arabia Act

A bill recommending the Atlasian government end all ties with the nation of Saudi Arabia, effective as soon as possible.

1. Asserts that Saudi Arabia has a significantly poor history regarding civil rights, including but not limited to the execution of gay citizens, the squashing of woman's rights throughout the nation including not be able to drive cars or travel without a man accompanying.

2. Asserts that strong evidence continues to exist that Saudi Arabia meddles in the affairs of other Middle Eastern nations and in part allows funding of the Islamic State, a terrorist group with a history of attacking NATO, to go unchecked.

3. Asserts that Saudi Arabia does not have the interests of Atlasia and its democracy at heart and thus should not be treated as an ally or partner in any future dealings within the Middle East.

4. Notes that this is a non-binding bill which does not require the Atlasian Government to take any action against Saudi Arabia, but highly recommends that the Atlasian Government cease relations with the nation of Saudi Arabia.

The Storm Surge, Coastal Flooding, and Tsunami Prevention Act of 2017

1. 500 Million dollars shall be allocated to research new ways to prevent and/or hinder storm surge flooding from hurricanes, tropical storms, and nor'easters along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean coastlines of Atlasia.
2. 500 Million dollars shall be allocated to research new ways to prevent and/or hinder tsunami-based flooding from earthquakes and landslides both local and distant along the Pacific Ocean coastline of Atlasia.
3. Up to 800 Billion dollars shall be set aside and reserve for construction of various dams, barrier islands, and potential seawalls once the research of how this may be accomplished and what, if any impact this may have on the environment is complete.
4. Climate Change may also be considered, particularly along vulnerable urban coastlines for prevention of coastal flooding as well.



I would like someone to sponsor this bill, please feel free to amend it as needed, this is just a prototype but an issue I feel is frequently ignored as climate change occurs. (Even if you don't believe climate change is happening, it is imperative to stop storm surge flooding and especially Tsunamis from wreaking havoc on our shores).

Amendment to the Constitution

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I only support Alaska independence with a free and fair referendum first but will sponsor this amendment for the distinguished former President.

This amendment is frivolous and will not be put on the House floor.

Do you hear that AZ? The "people's speaker" has deemed this frivolous. Perhaps we should remove a speaker who does not even allow a vote on a popular movement.

After careful thinking, I have decided not to sign. While the apology did honestly come across as fake to me (which is why I sent it to fhtagn because I was mad and I do stupid things when mad), I don't think a removal is necessary at this time. It is true we all make mistakes and ultimately this was a huge one to make, but jimmy is human as am I. I believe Jimmy should remain speaker at this time and reaffirm my support for him as speaker and as VP. Hopefully this will be a catalyst to be better as a body and for us to come together for more compromises.
