As introduced by Sen. Colin Wixted:

Promotion of Democracy Act

1.) The Republic of Atlasia calls upon the Syrian government to set a definite time table for removing troops from Lebanon.

2.) The Republic of Atlasia demands that free and fair elections be allowed in Lebanon outside of the influence of Syria and be open to international election monitors.

3.) The Republic of Atlasia commends the actions of the Lebanese people in their attempts to push reform in their nation.

4.) The Republic of Atlasia condemns the Iranian government in their refusal to allow political reforms in their country.

5.) The Republic of Atlasia calls upon the government of Iran to allow reformist groups to run in the next election and to allow much needed reforms in the political system.

6.) The Senate will hereby allocate $10,000,000 for aid towards pro-democracy groups in Lebanon and Iran.

I hereby open debate on this bill.

Nice to see the first of my bills up. We need to do something about the current situation in Lebanon and in Iran. The Promotion of Democracy Act's goals are to bring the stated opinion of Atlasia to the world and to help home-grown opposition and pro-democracy groups in the Middle East. Since current situations make it clear that Lebanon is becoming a more democratic country aid and help from Atlasia and other nations will be needed to assist them in these efforts. In Iran current moderate, reform, and pro-democracy groups are having trouble organizing and meeting due to the restriction of freedoms in that country. While money will not help with restriction of freedoms it will help them have the capital that they need to begin grassroots organization and to continue to gain power in their said countries.

The DoD supports this bill as a first step in the region.  I have a few more recommendations in the pipe.

As long as this bill doesn't promote military action then I'd be happy with it.

It doesn't. Money, yes, military action, no.

So I see.  I just get a little wary when words like 'condemn' and 'demand' get thrown around.

This legislation now has enough votes to pass; senators now have 24 hours to change their vote.

The vote-changing period is now over.

With nine votes in favor to none against, I hereby declare this to have passed.

I present it to our president for his signature.

I hope our government encourages democracy and freedom all over the world.

I hope that our Secretary of State will present this to the United Nations in hope that a worldwide effort will be used to bring these results.
