People's Regional Senate
Pending

Sponsor: Devout Centrist
Senate Designation: SB19:10

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The sponsor has 24 hours to commence and advocacy here and all other members will have 48 hours to respond.

[Devout Centrist]

This bill would repeal the Patriot Act and the Freedom Act. It would also shut down the clandestine School of the Americas.

I urge my fellow Senators to vote Aye. This act will end the endless war of the past decade and a half. It will also end extensive overreach by the Federal Government.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Didn't we already repeal the Patriot Act?

I feel like that is something Enduro or Doof would have done back in his libertarian days.

[YE]

Didn't we already repeal the Patriot Act?

I feel like that is something Enduro or Doof would have done back in his libertarian days.

It was pointed out on Discord that it didn't get repealed because tmth and Goldwater voted against it and Blair abstained IIRC, hence the creation of this bill.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Didn't we already repeal the Patriot Act?

I feel like that is something Enduro or Doof would have done back in his libertarian days.

I only repealed a few provisions on sharing records and currency transfers... not the full act.

[Vern]

I support this, and if elected I will vote for it!

[Esteemed Jimmy]

The USA FREEDOM ACT and USA PATRIOT ACT need to be completely repealed!

[ON Progressive]

I support this bill in its entirety.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I motion for a final vote based on the level of support. Senators have 24 hours to object.

I support this, and if elected I will vote for it!

Highly doubt this will still be on the floor by Monday.

[Devout Centrist]

I appreciate Vern's support, even if it won't be on the record. I look forward to this passing the Senate unanimously.

[Former President tack50]

The title and findings might be a bit hyperbolic but I am in full support of this bill.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

A Final vote is now open, Senators please vote Aye, Nay or ABstain.

[Devout Centrist]

Aye

[Former President tack50]

Aye

[ON Progressive]

Aye

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This has enough votes to pass, Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.
