[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I have never been one for chopping up the South or messing with the borders. I didn't support the Kansas effort and I don't intend on supporting this one, especially without the consent of the Southern government. Has there been any input from the Southern government on these proposed changes?

In either case, I will not vote in favor of taking territory from my region any more than I anticipate the Southern senators would support taking territory away from theirs. I am personally content with the borders as they are and will likely not be voting for this bill in either form. I certainly intend on defending the integrity of Fremont's borders.

NAY.

Nay

I sense that there is no serious desire to alter the borders (thankfully). Let's just move to a final vote when this amendment fails next.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Not enough votes to pass, 24 hours, etc.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Failed, obviously.

Final vote. I'll pre-count Muad'dib's proxy vote.
