Southeast Regional Senator Sam Spade's Contact/Criticism/Question Thread

[Sam Spade]

As I did before when I was in the Senate, I am creating this thread for feedback from Southeast Region citizens. 

I will be indicating my voting indications on bills presently in front of the Senate, as well as my past votes on Senate legislation.

As always, if any Southeast citizen has a piece of legislation they wish the Senate to debate and pass, I will sponsor any and all legislation I think is well-written, even if I don't support it.

I generally urge Southeast regional citizens to make their voices heard.  If you have any questions why I'm voting the way I am or questions in general, please ask here.

Thank you.

Where do you stand on creation of another House?

I myself am against, even if we were to gain significant numbers (unless it was QUITE alot)



And congrats on the win, you're good at this sort of thing, I would have still been boring.

[DownWithTheLeft]

I look forward to working with you in the senate and hope you will be as active and productive as myself

[Joe Republic]

Where do you stand on creation of another House?

As Sam's unofficial press spokesman for about the next three minutes or so, I believe I can field this one for you:

I will not support the above-legislation, nor any legislation approving a second house during my time in the Senate.

[The Man From G.O.P.]

I hope that my Senator will also be productive and humble

Ah, but being humble is so overrated , now being pompous that is where it's at

My position essentially mirrors yours.  I think you need to at minimum double the membership of Atlasia to even start talking about a new House, probably more (depending on the numbers of actual active members)

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Thank you for the compliment in both areas.

I thank you for that answer Joe, I wish I wasn't so lazy...

Could the Senator list perhaps a preview of legislation he plans to propose, or some rough ideas of his?

Well, I already proposed a repeal of the Illegal Immigrant Act.  I intend to propose amendments to see if I can re-attach Ernest's excellent changes to the law in the last Immigration law that were taken out (unfortunately).

I will be working on the wholesale revisions to the OSPR, a task which will probably take me some time.

I intend to work on revising the Tax Increase Act, specifically the employee contribution to SS and probably raising the retirement age to counteract changes.

I'm sure I will have other things to propose as well.  Give me time.

In case any of the press wishes to interview me, I want them to know that I am always open for interview.

South Park Con. seems to deliver a fair interview, I believe he needs to be prompted however.

Well, I though this post would be a fair prompt.
