This is just bad, I have nothing more to say. I am pretty sure that the obvious will be pointed out during the course of debate.

[OBD]

You know, I'm tired of the Atlasian government telling me I can't go 80 miles an hour down Interstate 5. Like, I should be able to do whatever I want with my car as long as I don't crash (which I won't), and Atlasians in Oregon and elsewhere have long been oppressed by stupidly low speed limits. This bill will return control of roads to the PEOPLE!

Also, it'll allow LoservilleThunder to bang his mom without being arrested for speeding, so Feds should support this initiative.

[Senator-elect Spark]

I stand opposed to this legislation.

[Kuumo]

The Republic of Atlasia has been burdened far too long by the needless regulations crippling our drivers on our mighty roads that connect the shining cities of our continent! The hard workers of our trucking industry toil under the yoke of the unjust laws that have forced them to spend countless of their precious waking hours trudging across barren deserts and high mountains to their next destination in the dead of night. The drivers of our fair country yearn to be free on the great paved paths that in a twist of cruel irony are known as freeways. Even in parts of the otherwise utopian beacon of the Commonwealth of Frémont, our based car culture is tragically hindered by the draconian injustice of speed limits as low as 55 miles per hour! I urge the Senate of this nation to stand on the right side of history and follow the lead of our enlightened German comrades on the most important moral crisis of our generation.

The time-honored words of the early American revolutionary Patrick Henry put it best: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty Dave! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

I am in favor of actual fun stuff like the LT stuff, I am not in favor of this lame attempt to make the German FDP look sane and reasonable.

@the honorable Karen019, you do realize that a final vote lets have an opportunity to kill the bill properly.

I'll abstain regarding cloture.

Is the PPT willing to accept proxies for a final vote?

So, trying to overthrow an election and ruin the game is "fun", but suggesting policy which may increase accident rates for a bunch of fictional people isn't???  I don't get it.

As for the cloture vote, abstain.
