Northeast Assembly Thread

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I introduces a resolution which may be a good point for all of us to start be nice again.

I introduces a resolution which may be a good point for all of us to start be nice again.

I second the resolution.

[cinyc]

We will now consider the following resolution:

Thanking Resolution

Northeast Assembly is hereby thanking Governor AndrewCT for his longtime and distinguished service for our region and the people.

Sponsor: Rep. Kalwejt

The question is whether the bill should be considered?

The ayes have it.

Debate on this bill will continue until at least 2:00PM Eastern on Thursday, February 25, 2010, unless the debate period is extended or shortened in accordance with the SOAP.  (Hint: If someone wants this bill to have a chance of being passed this session, there needs to be a motion to shorten to 12 hours).

The Sponsor, Representative Kalwejt, has the floor.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Mr. Speaker, fellow Representatives, I'll be brief.

Despite our very heaten recent elections and all political difference we're sharing, Governor Andrew served this region with distinction for a long time and it's safe to say he already left his footpring in our history.

Also, passing such purely symbolical resolution may help clear up recent unkind atmosphere

I'd also request shortening the period of the debate.

Thank you.

[cinyc]

The minimum I can shorten the debate period to is 12 hours.  So I'll open the vote at 2:00AM Eastern tonight IF this Assembly isn't dissolved by that time.  It may be, if the CJO certifies the election results tonight.

While I didn't vote him, Andrew was Governor for almost a year.

I fully support this measure.

[The Age Wave]

I might support this. Can the sponsor offer reasons why his service was so much better than that of any other Governor?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I might support this. Can the sponsor offer reasons why his service was so much better than that of any other Governor?

For example I can point his involvment and work in creation of the body where Representative can have his seat.

Then why don't I get a resolution? Just kidding!

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I just intend to give a symbolic, farewell gift to longtime Governor, very important figure in our history. I don't want this to turn into a political s-hole.

[cinyc]

Governor AndrewCT presided over the region from its highs to its lows.  He helped form this Assembly.  We certainly should thank him for his lengthy and distinguished service to the citizens of the Northeast.

[cinyc]

It's time for a vote:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

The vote on the resolution shall remain open until the earlier of 2:05AM on Thursday, February 25, or when all Representatives shall have voted.  

Note that there may not be time to complete this vote if the new Assembly is seated.  So please cast your vote quickly!

[cinyc]

Aye.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Aye

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Guess old assembly term just expired :/

[cinyc]

Guess old assembly term just expired :/

Indeed.  I suppose we can take the resolution up as the first item of business in the next Assembly, as per tradition, if you re-propose it in the queue.

[segwaystyle2012]

When is the Speaker vote?

[cinyc]

When is the Speaker vote?

Immediately after the Lt. Governor Libertas gavels in the Assembly.  I don't have any power to do so - I'm just an Assemblyman like everyone else right now.

[cinyc]

All new and former Northeast Representatives should swear in on the official swear-in thread to take their offices, even if they swore in for last session.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

The Third Assembly of the Northeast is now in session.

With the assembly called into session, we may proceed with the election of a speaker.

Nominations for this position may now be made.

[cinyc]

I will run for reelection as speaker.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

I vote for cinyc to be speaker.

[cinyc]

I vote for cinyc to be speaker.

I don't think we're voting yet, just taking nominations and seconds.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I vote for cinyc to be speaker.

You have my support.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

well, I've been severely ill and bed ridden for most of the past 3 days, so consider my vote for you if i'm unable to make it during the official vote.
