Senate Resolution on the 2014 Crimean Crisis:

1. In light of the ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine, the Senate recognizes the need to support the government and the people of Ukraine against any attempt from Russia to alter the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of Ukraine itself.

2. Given Russia’s ongoing disregard for international law, the Senate formally condemns the Russian violation of Ukrainian sovereignty with the acts of aggression regarding the military occupation of Crimea, and it pledges full support for Ukraine in this time of crisis.

3. The Senate also resolves to urge the President, the Secretary of External Affairs and the Special Envoy to Ukraine to take immediate action to make said support effective, and to exhaust diplomatic options to prevent a Russian takeover of Ukraine or a formal annexation of Crimea, including heavy trade sanctions against Russia.

South American/Asian Trade Reform Act:

1. Taking into account the complicated political and strategical relationship that the Republic of Atlasia has with Latin American and Asian nations, the Republic will commit itself to an increase in trade, economic and cultural cooperation and an increased number of memberships in international organisms related to the zone.

2. The Republic of Atlasia will increase funding to the Organization of American States (OAS), starting January 1st, 2015, in order to solve it’s economic problems and ensure independence from external donors. Atlasia will (via SoEA) push forward for a continental effort to stop the increasing number of constitutional amendments that attempt to put an end to Presidential term limits.

3. The Republic of Atlasia acknowledges the role of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC) in promoting economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. In order to expand the success of this forum, the Republic of Atlasia formally supports the membership of the states of India, Bangladesh, Macau, Laos, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Colombia, Panama and Ecuador. The Republic of Atlasia also relinquishes it’s right to represent Guam, and it supports the membership of said state.

4. The Republic of Atlasia states it's desire to join the Pacific Alliance trade bloc as a full member state, considering that Atlasia already meets all prerequisites for membership. However, the Republic of Atlasia also recognizes that accepting free movement of people will have to wait for immigration reform in the Republic itself.

5. The Republic of Atlasia formally congratulates the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), for being successful in the role of increasing cooperation, trade and regional stability. With the US-ASEAN Business Council as an example of increase cooperation, the Republic of Atlasia formally requests ASEAN for membership as an observer nation.

I am assuming sponsorship for any of Tmth's bills that remain in the queue. It appears to be just the Reforming Atlasian Public Health Act of 2014, but I might have missed one and I am in hurry.

We can debate the numbers and such, but I think there is merit to incorporating HSAs as long as it is not a substitute for covering the poor or something obviously, which I think is where mucho f the opposition from the left stems from in RL.
