Atlasian Civil Liberties Caucus (ACLC)

[Akno21]

I'll run for Mideast chair.

[Akno21]

It's late, but can I still join?

Yup. Welcome to the ACLC

[Akno21]

I don't have as much time as planned, but here are some issues that need to be addressed in the platform:

- Giving felons the right to vote
- The right to keep and bear arms, including assault weapons
- Legalization of gambling
- Legalization of fireworks
- Pornography
- Legalizing female toplessness in public

I agree, these need to be in our platform.

We also should have something showing our support for Gay Marriage, and only that, nothing less, and something on Affirmative Action, against it I would presume.

We should support civil unions. Gay marriage should be decided by individual churches.

i agree. separation of church and state means that the gov. has to stay out of church buisness as well.

Fine, but then we should support civil unions for all couples, gay or straight, and take government out of marriage.

I don't know about my fellow anti-death penalty caucus members, but I support life in prison without the possibility of parole for first degree murder and espionage.  I pushed an initiative in the Southeast that made life without parole an option in Texas, which passed 5-4.  We should work to make sure similar initiatives pass in other Atlasian states where this much needed option is not available.

I agree. As a civil liberties group, I feel we must take a stand against the death penalty, mainly because the consequences are disasterous if someone is executed who is later proved to be innocent. The Government murdering an innocent man seems like a big infringement on civil liberties to me, bigger than a while in prison.

Adaption
The ACLC supports the right of all "eligible" (I need help here, what should the general requirements for adaption be?) people to adapt children. We believe that the parent's sexuality should play no part in whether they recieve a child.

PROPOSED PLANK FIVE (PRO CHOICE)
The Atlasian Civil Liberties Caucus supports the legality of abortion until birth, as we find that the fetus is not a legal citizen.  We feel that the government should not attempt to impose its moral values on the People by banning any abortions; instead, the decision should be left to the woman.  We also oppose restrictions such as partner and parental consent or notification.

I support this plank.

As do I.

Me as well.

And me

[Akno21]

Good speech Defarge.

What are your feelings on the Patriot Act, as passed by the old government in 2001?

[Akno21]

I'd have interest, but I don't want to do it alone.
