With the basic foundations of our military in place, our intelligence sources have shown large New Mexican rebel groupings on all interstate entrances, blocking off access to the rest of the region.

I'm announcing that Pacific Military Force bomber jets are currently on their way from Los Angeles to the border between Arizona and New Mexico at Interstate 40 with orders to launch an airstrike on the rebel groupings.

I'm appointing Rob to the empty Pacific seat in the Sneate to fill the remainder of Everett's term.

[TheWildCard]

I would like to propose a constitutional amendment to the constitution.

Where amendment 3 reads

   1. Whereas the Pacific should follow the lead of the rest of the nation by re-adjusting the time that its elections begin.
   2. Therefore elections shall begin at 9:00 PM Pacific Standard time on the penultimate Thursday in April and August and on the second Thursday in December and not midnight on Fridays by changing these details in Article 1: Section 2.

The 5th Amendment shall change this to

   1. In trying to find a progressive solution to the problem of inactivity in Atlasia the Pacific shall now hold elections more freqeuntly.

2.  Elections shall begin at 9:00 PM Pacific Standard time on the penultimate Thursday in October, Febuary, April, June and August and on the second Thursday in December by changing these details in Article 1: Section 2.

We usually have trouble just filling up Governor and Lt. Governor because of a lack of candidates.... In August I became Governor unchallenged and had trouble finding somebody to be Lt. Governor!

How would more frequent elections help with this problem?

Hi,

I would like to announce that I will be seeking re-election next month.

Sorry to intrude, but does Rob know/care you've appointed him to the seat?

Legalization of Prostitution Bill

Section 1: Findings
1. The criminalization of consensual sex in which money is paid for participation in the sex act is a violation of civil liberties.
2. The regulation of legalized brothels will allow for an increase in public safety by mandating tests and protections against sexually transmitted infections.

Section 2: Legalization of Prostitution
1. No law shall exist criminalizing the act of paying for participation in a sex act.

Section 3: Limitations
1. Local governments shall have the right to regulate the prostitution industry, including for health and safety purposes. Such regulations may include, but are not limited to:
    - Requiring use of a registered location while engaging in business (i.e. forbidding 'street work');
    - Requiring mandatory drug and venereal disease tests;
    - Mandating use of contraceptive devices during business activities;
2. Where no local regulations exist as per Clause 2, the following regulations shall be followed:
- All prostitutes shall be required to utilize condoms during vaginal or anal intercourse.
    - Prostitutes shall be required to obtain testing for venereal diseases, including HIV, once a month. If a venereal disease is detected, the prostitute is forbidden from seeing further customers, until and unless the disease is no longer present or is in a noncommunicable stage.
3. The government shall have the right to tax the services given by the prostitution industry in applicable areas.

Hello, I would like to offer this amendment. It resolves several potential problems I see possibly popping up in the future, like an election tie (our consitution does not address this). It also simplifies the process of filling a vacant Lt. Governor position. Currently an election is required to fill the seat, although every time it has needed to be filled there has only been one candidate on the ballot, making the election relatively pointless.

Amendment regarding elections

Section 1

1. Section 3:2 of Article I shall be amended to read "If the office of Lieutenant Governor becomes vacant, the Governor shall appoint a replacement as soon as possible. The Governor may choose to hold an election to fill the position should multiple candidates arise, but is not required to do so. If the Governor does hold an election, it should take place the following weekend and take place during standard election hours."

Section 2

1. Should an election end in a tie with no way to determine a winner based on preferences, the Governor shall pick a winner among the top candidates (those who have tied).
2. Should a tie occur when there is no Governor or Lt. Governor, another election shall be held the following weekend until a winner is determined

Governor Jesus to get this to a vote.

Governor Jesus to get Porce's bill to a vote.

I'll open both at least 24 hours after this post.

[bgwah]

Voting is open on the following (here is the ballot):

Amendment regarding elections ___
Legalization of Prostitution Bill ___


My vote:
Amendment regarding elections Aye
Legalization of Prostitution Bill Aye

An "aye" so nice, I'm voting it twice.
