District One Senate Debate

[DownWithTheLeft]

The following thread shall be used for Atlasians to post questions to be asked of the District One candidates.  I invite BaconKing and Sen. Washburn (if he is running) to join me in this debate.  If anyone wants to take sponsorship feel free

We can make it like one of those CNN Youtube debates

You may have noticed Mike Naso is no longer with us

When will this Debate begin? I'm really looking forward to it.

Agreed.

Propose questions and I'm sure myself and my honorable opponent will answer them, however, I cannot guarantee a lot of internet time this weekend

I'll break the ice and ask a question.

Why did the End to Districts Amendment fail? Do you support it or oppose it? Why? If you support it, would you reintroduce it if elected?

I was not in Atlasia at the time, however, I continue to ponder this issue and think that it would not have been a good idea.  The current system works well and we have everyone represented and competitive elections.  The only reason to mess with this system to me seems like because we are bored.  However, if the issue came before the senate again I would vote "Yes" so the voters could decide on it.

Okay, I've got some questions, myself.

(1) In your opinion, what is the most important piece of legislation currently sitting in the Senate queue?  (And, of course, how would you vote/amend it, if applicable?)

I think that are a lot of pressing issues the next senate will deal.  However, the most important bill sitting in the incredibly clogged senate queue in my opinion is the bill currently sponsored by Ebowed, Comprehensive Drug Reform Bill of 2007.   This bill should finally end the War on Drugs, something that is a tenet of my campaign.
