Nay.

You gotta get funding from somewhere, and the National Parks badly need it.

Mr. President I move to strike clauses 1-5 from the bill, unless voting on the actual whole bill begins soon.

Aren't you cute. Tongue

After an amendment fails, a vote begins in twenty-four hours unless debate starts.

As there appears to be no more debate, I hereby bring this bill to a vote.  The final version of the bill is as follows:

The "Preserving our National Parks" Act Revised and Reintroduced

Section I
The Congress recognizes the need to preserve our environment for future generations to enjoy. It also recognizes the state of our National Parks are degrading and we must improve our standards.

Section II
All National Park fees will be increased by 30% in any car/family/group with 2 or less people, 15% in any car/family/group of 3 people, and 10% in any car/family/group of 4 people.  For any pedestrians and and car/family/group of 5 or more people, the current charges will stay the same.

This new income will be used exclusivly for the maintanence and care-taking of that park.

Section III
All government owned and run snowmobiles used in National Parks will be electrically run or powered by a renewable and EPA-approved source by the year 2010. 

Congress will approve $5 million dollars to assist in this transition.

Section IV
Littering fines in all National Parks are now 25% higher.  This new income will all be devoted to the maintenance of the National Parks.

Section V
EPA fines for air and water pollution violations within a 50-mile radius of any National Park are increased by 10%.

All senators in favor, vote "aye"; all against, vote "nay".

It appears as if in voting on the Sam Spade's 586348756th amendment, this one to strike clause 2, that NixonNow voted yes, then no. Am I to assume that he changed his vote?

This legislation now has enough votes to pass; senators now have twenty-four hours to change their votes.

With 6 votes in favour, none against and with 3 Senators not voting, this bill has passed.

I present it to the President for his signature.

(Sorry, I had to do it at least once)
