Power-Leveling for Congress Members

Day 572, 04:54 • Published in Philippines Philippines • by Swagger McSwag
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen of the Philippine Congress,

Good day.

Wanna fight abroad but can't because you feel tied down to you congressional duties? Wanna find another way to gain XP quick?

You too can level up faster like our soldiers fighting abroad.

Did you know that for every vote you make in Congress, you get 1 XP?

Therefore, I propose a "power-leveling" plan for Congress members where we will submit "lulz" proposals that we will vote DOWN in the congress chamber just for the sake of the extra 1 XP.

Dangers

Now, I understand that there are inherent dangers with this kind of scheme, like, for example, getting a potentially damaging bill approved.

However, the benefits outweigh the risks. All our congresspeople need to do is to be vigilant and not vote before finding out more info. Authors of the proposals should expressly state that they want their peers to vote NO to their proposals either in their newspapers or in the forums, or preferably both.

Also, proposing bills that are not too drastic will minimize any untoward effects the bills might have should they unwittingly slip past Congress.

Procedure


LULZ

If you agree with this scheme, please vote YES to this proposal, here: http://ephilippines.forummotion.com/voting-hall-f23/congress-power-leveling-act-of-june-2009-t605.htm

Similarly, you can discuss this in the Council of State forums, here: http://ephilippines.forummotion.com/council-of-state-f7/power-leveing-for-congress-members-t604.htm

Once this proposal is approved, "lulz" proposal-makers should publish the details of their "lulz" proposal on their newspapers and/or in the forums asking fellow congressmen to vote NO.

What happens when we need a "REAL" proposal to get approved?

"REAL" proposal-makers should PM me of their intentions to propose a "REAL" proposal and I will call for the suspension of all "lulz" proposals.

In the future, we could probably elect a Speaker of the House or Senate President dedicated to handling this kind of stuff.

Approve this proposal first, here: http://ephilippines.forummotion.com/voting-hall-f23/congress-power-leveling-act-of-june-2009-t605.htm

Discussion

We can discuss what sorts of bills we can put forward as "lulz" proposals and which ones we cannot, here: http://ephilippines.forummotion.com/council-of-state-f7/power-leveing-for-congress-members-t604.htm

Our beloved citizens are welcome to leave their comments, suggestions and violent reactions below.

For the lulz,

Ariel David Buena
Vice President of the Philippines
Congressionator for Visayas
