Whereas there are 13 stickied threads in the Atlas Fantasy Elections board;

Whereas there are Department threads stickied in the Atlas Fantasy Elections board;

Whereas the "Making Party Platforms More Transparent Act" (F.L. 13-53) has failed to be implemented: Now therefore be it


That it is the sense of Congress that—
   (1) it is recommended that the number of stickied threads in the Atlas Fantasy Elections board be reduced by—
       (a) Unstickying office threads; and
(b) Moving Department-related threads to the Atlas Fantasy Government board;

(b) "Atlasian Persona Index", or the thread where the personas of players are recorded;
(c) "Candidate Declaration Thread", or the thread where players can declare a run for office;
(d) "Census Bureau of Atlasia", or the thread where registered voters are tracked and recorded;
(e) "Department of Federal Elections", or the office thread of the Secretary of Federal Elections;
(f) "Introduction to Atlasia", or the thread that gives an overview of the game;
(g) "New Register Thread", or the thread where forum members can register as a player in the game;
(h) "Public Consultation and Legislation Submissions", or the thread where citizens can discuss legislation in Congress and introduce legislation to Congress; and
(i) "The Library of Congress", or the thread which contains records about Atlasia; and
(3) it is recommended that the "Introduction to Atlasia" thread include a section which includes the platforms of the various federal and regional political parties.

Also, considering this resolution has already been implemented, I think it would be wise to proceed to a final vote as quickly as possible.

hold up. Census Bureau? DoFE? No offense to Truman here but I feel like these two are more important for pins than the Library of Congress.

The DoFE belongs on the AFG Board, like other department threads.

With a majority of senators voting to pass this bill, the vote will close in 24 hours or when all senators have voted, whichever is sooner, and any Senator who wishes to change his or her vote must do so during that interval.
