Pacific Legislature Official Thread

[Хahar 🤔]

Stupid question:

How/when is the Pacific legislature elected?

[Хahar 🤔]

Prison Diet Bill
1) Whereas meat is a financially and environmentally expensive luxury that humans can live healthily without.
2) Whereas there is no compelling reason to reward criminals in prisons with this expensive luxury.
3) Therefore all prisons and jails within the Pacific Region shall feed their inmates a strict vegetarian diet.

X Governor Bgwah

Forcing a diet on a population? That seems a bit extreme/authoritarian... Also a vegitarian diet can be difficult to maintain on a healthy level (getting all your needed proteins and AA's), I really don't see how it would cost that much more to give them meat and we would probably have prison riots break out throughout the region.

I suppose forcing them in prisons is a bit too extreme for you? Forcing them to live in a cell a bit to extreme? Not allowing child rapists to walk through schools---that's extreme, too, I guess.

And difficult to maintain? Prison officials will of course make sure they get all of their protein and what not---it is only difficult to maintain if you're a retard.

Stupid question:

Every Pacific citizen is a legislator. Check out the Wiki and read the Second Pacific Constitution for more information

Thanks!

Aye to both.

Gasoline Consumer Protection Act

1. All prices for gasoline displayed at gas stations must be rounded up to the nearest cent.
2. If a station is found noncompliant, the company operating the station shall be fined 10% of the earnings at that station during the period of noncompliance.

Gasoline Consumer Protection Act: Aye

Regional Motto Bill: Nay

Rocky Dennis Memorial Bill, Part II: Aye

Resolution concerning human colonization of outer space: Aye

Renaming of Interstate 5 Bill: Nay, since it's the worst freeway in the region. We need a better freeway, more befitting of him.

Resolution concerning the Midwestern dictatorship: Nay

Smoking Rights Amendment: Aye

Accuracy in Balloting Bill

Haha.

I fully intend to sue if this passes.

Change the name of Istanbul to Byzantium and I'll agree to both.

Hmm, well when we admit that part of Turkey as the Pacific's 11th state, perhaps it can be named Byzantium (though Wikipedia says it was originally Byzantion!), but I think the city should be named Constantinople.

Sure.

[Хahar 🤔]

Aye to both.

[Хahar 🤔]

Aye, Nay. War is hell. And I don't want even a sliver of Turkey. Too high maintenance. When the Mexicans speak English as well as I do, and vote the way I do, maybe, but not now. Give it to somebody else. How about Iraq so that the Kurds can reunite? 

We give the Bosposrus to Iraq?

And shouldn't that be nay and aye?

[Хahar 🤔]

I think I blew the 20 minute rule and invalidated my vote again. Such is life.

But this is a legislature, so there is no such rule, thankfully.

[Хahar 🤔]

aye
aye


Bgwah would you like to draw up a map of the revised Turkey so I can introduce the measure to the senate and actually take some action?
By the way Byzantion is an awesome name, though I prefer Constantinople.


Oh and what happened to my proposal to rename the Pacific as Pacifica?

Basically, we get all the coastal provinces, and the rest are split into four bands, one region getting each.

[Хahar 🤔]

I get Carmel, and you get Vallejo.

How about you get Santa Barbara, and I get Carmel and Vallejo?

[Хahar 🤔]

I'd like to propose two amendments to the former bill:

1. Replace all occurences of "Dirty South" with Southeast.
2. Change Clause 3 to "Be it resolved that the Pacific Region hereby reaffims its committment to a united Atlasia."

I'd also like to propose two amendemts to the latter bill:

1. Strike Clause 1.
2. Replace Clause 2 with "The Pacific Region shall pledge whatever armed forces it deems necessary to maintain the continued allegiance of the Southeast Region to the Atlasian government."

True Accuracy in Balloting Act

The Accuracy in balloting Act is hereby repealed.

[Хahar 🤔]

Yea

[Хahar 🤔]

^ Can you please clarify if you're voting in favor of CK's amendment or the Crazy Hat Day Act?

And I vote AYE on the Crazy Hat Day Act, of course.

Both.

[Хahar 🤔]

Where will we get the money to cover the reduction in sales taxes?

[Хahar 🤔]

Aye to all.

Third Constitutional Convention Petition

The Pacific Region formally petitions the President of Atlasia to call a Constitutional Convention.
Fairly straightforward and uncontroversial.
