[President Punxsutawney Phil]

2. This anthem shall hold equal status to the current anthem, "Dixie" by Daniel Decatur Emmett.

sponsor: MB (civilian slot)

[Dr. MB]

This new anthem would represent a perfect blend of old and new, which honors the diverse values of the South. I strongly urge everyone to support it.

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

I don't think any song should have equal standing to 'Dixie' in the South.

would delegates find the following amendment acceptable?

I like the direction this bill would undergo under this amendment put forth by the deputy speaker.

[S019]

This is a terrible bill, and I urge the South to reject it


Also the talk praising “Dixie” here, is disturbing

Dixie is the current Southern anthem. Of course Southerners praise it.

SNJC, this is rich coming from you. Would you prefer an amendment that we put a tax on when these songs were played? I urge you to stick to issues in your own jurisdiction rather than poking your nose in Southern Issues. Especially when you provide no meaningful feedback.

Look, I wanted tax cuts, but the government has spent and spent, and now we are in a $80 billion hole, I am trying to limit raising income and property taxes. Meanwhile, you support a Confederate song and an annoying rap song, both are terrible choices, though “Old Town Road” is 1000 times better than “Dixie.”

I concur, totally. Old Town Road for sole anthem of the South.

[Dr. MB]

So is anyone gonna do anything about the amendment?
