The great Pacific railway,
For California hail!

Lay down the iron rail.

Across the rolling prairies,
By steam we're bound to go,
The railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico,
The railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico.

The prairie dogs in dogtown
Will wag each little tail,
They'll think that something's coming,
Just flying down the rail.

The rattlesnake will show its fangs,
The owl tu-whit tu-who.
While railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico,
The railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico.

Sec. 9. Enactment
The contents of this act shall go into effect immediately upon passage.

From the last session I bring this bill to the floor. 48 hours for debate.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

I believe this bill has already been rejected by the Assembly; the debate from the 2nd session shows one in favor and one opposed, with Legislator Rpryor arriving after the end of the voting period. I plan on introducing a new iconography act momentarily.

[Pragmatic Conservative]

My apologizes, I missed that it was already introduced and rejected. Seeing that this piece of legislation has already been introduced, it shall be withdrawn (locking thread).
