2nd Educational Equipment Act

[JohnFKennedy]

I intended to veto this but it won't matter unless all the other Senators turn out to vote against this.

I encourage president Kennedy to veto this bill.  I promise to do everything I can to make sure that veto stands.

I declared I would veto it, however it has received seven votes so my veto would not stand.

Has this act officialy passed yet?

It has seven votes in favour so it cannot be vetoed. That is a yes.

It CAN be vetoed.  If the senate wishes, we can work to override your veto, but there is no gaurantee that that will happen.  PLEASE veto this bill, John.

I have declared that I veto it. However, it has seven votes in favour. Doesn't that make it a veto-proof majority?

I would strongly urge the Senate NOT to pass this act.

While I agree that education is incredibly important. This measure is NOT appreciated at this time, not only is the amount it brings in ridiculously large fullstop, but it is astronomically so at this moment in time when the Atlasian economy is incredibly fragile.

A measure such as this has a great chance of landing us in a situation like that of 1929 in the USA. What we really need at the moment is to try and coax the price of oil down and get the economy running smoothly.

I ask the Senate where their priorities lie? In preventing a complete economic collapse of the nation, or in wasteful pork barrel spending on education.

[JohnFKennedy]

That is five votes against!

I would like to congratulate the Senate on making an excellent decision in a time of financial instability with special commendations to Senators Stevennick, Texasgurl, Nation, Statesrights and King.
