Mideast Assembly Thread

[afleitch]

Nay.

Moving the seat of government and all it's institutions would cost many millions and combined with the logistics of such an operation, at a time of economic crisis I feel that this sends this sends out the wrong message to the Mideast.

[Purple State]

I would say this lets the people decide whether it's worth the money. No change is an option.

On an unrelated note, I have edited the Constitution on the Wiki to reflect the Amendments passed thus far.

[Peter]

Apologies for not seeing this sooner.

Nay on relocating hte capital

[Purple State]

No worries. The Resolution for the Relocation of the Mideast Capital fails by a vote of one in favor, two opposed.

I will try to bring some legislation forward tomorrow. I have had quite the busy weekend.

[Devilman88]

Seems like everyone has.

Farewell Message from the Speaker

Fellow citizens of the Mideast,

I want to thank everyone for the opportunity you have given me over the past few months to serve as your Assembly Member and Speaker. I know that, without your incredible activity and passion to make this region successful, I would never have been able to accomplish all that we have done together. Specifically, I would like to thank Afleitch for first appointing me to the Assembly way back when, Peter for helping me become Speaker of the Assembly, and Inks for being a great partner in the Third Constitutional Convention and a great Governor.

As many of you know, last night fellow AM Afleitch and I were elected to the Atlasian Senate, a great accomplishment for the Mideast region. This will leave two Assembly seats vacant, as we will be stepping down from our positions here. I must say it has been an honor. However, this does not mean that I am through with the region. I want you all to stay active and involved in the Mideast. Invest in your region and allow it to continue to prosper. Although I will hold no formal position in the region, rest assured I will remain active in helping craft legislation and new ideas.

In addition, I will soon be opening my Senate office. Please be sure to stop by and voice any comments or questions. My door is always open to ideas you may have, proposed legislation, or just a quick hello.

I will also take this time to endorse Dan as my replacement in the Assembly. He has proven to be an invaluable voice in the crafting of legislation and I believe that the Assembly will be a great place for him to continue to learn and thrive in Atlasia. I urge Governor Inks to appoint him upon my resignation later this week.

I plan on refraining from presenting new comprehensive legislation during this transition week. I would rather allow for the next Assembly to enter with a clean slate to craft for themselves. However, if anyone has a proposal for any emergency legislation that will be considered. Instead, I do plan on giving us a few fun and less formal resolutions to pass as my present to you all.

~Your Proud Speaker Purple State

~Your Proud Speaker Purple State

You will surly be missed in the Assembly, Purple State. Thank you for endorsing me for your replacement. I would also like the Governor to think about putting Persepolis on the Assembly as well. But whatever the Governor does I know you will do it trying to make the Mideast a better place.

[HappyWarrior]

As Senator of the Mideast region I would also like to encourage the Governor to appoint Persepolis and Dan as the new assemblymen of the region.

[Devilman88]

I see no problem with it, but I have no vote.

[Devilman88]

Once Persepolis swears in, we can get to work.

[Purple State]

I would recommend once he swears in you elect a Speaker. Also, don't forget you still have Peter to help out and I'm always good for advice.

Good luck you two rascals.

Yea, that was the first thing I was going to do. Also you more then likely will be getting alot of PMs soon.

[HappyWarrior]

Also if either of you are in any need of assistance I am always available as a former assemblyman, Speaker, Governor, and Regional Judge

[Fine...I Made This More Civil]

I am fairly sure I can speak for both Dan and I when I say we are honored to be so appreciated within the Mideast and we will certainly look to all of you, who so graciously offered us help, when we need some.

[Franzl]

Congratulations to both of you....and as a fellow former speaker....I'm also open to any questions or whatever!

[Devilman88]

Well I think we need to go ahead and elect a speaker. I'm willing to do it, but I think to be fair we should let peter pick the speaker. Then take it to a vote just to say we elected someone.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Also if either of you are in any need of assistance I am always available as a former assemblyman, Speaker, Governor, and Regional Judge

Same here.  Just let me know if you guys need anything.

[Peter]

As Dean of this Assembly, I hereby assume the Chair to preside over the election of a Speaker.

I will state that I have no particular desire to serve longer term, but will do so if asked.

I call for nominations!

[Franzl]

From my perspective as a citizen....I share your view that the speaker of the Assembly should be an elected member.....and I would humbly suggest that you serve as such for the remainder of this term.

I can't nominiate anyone....and I certainly wouldn't have a problem with Dan or Persepolis....that's my basic feeling.

I also think you should serve as Speaker until the next elections in order to orient our new Assemblymen and ensure a smooth transition.

[Devilman88]

I would like fore Peter to be the Speaker.

[Fine...I Made This More Civil]

I would like fore Peter to be the Speaker.

I second that, as long as Peter wants to be speaker. He is the obvious choice, since he is the only assemblymember with any experience.

[Peter]

In which case I accept, and will declare myself elected by acclamation.

I call on members to submit business for this Assembly.

[Devilman88]

I think this would be good to have:

Mideast Assemblymembers Active Act of 2009
1. Any member of the Assembly that miss more then three votes in the Assembly shall be removed from the Assembly and replace with another member by the appointment of the Governor.

[Purple State]

You should change it to consecutive votes and allow for certain leniency, like if you will be unable to you have to alert the speaker or by public post. You would also have to set the time that votes last. They have, in the past, been pretty arbitrary and last until enough votes are achieved.
