Update from Congress
•
by Clint Carmel
So, I promised an update to my loyal readers on what is going on in the world of Congress. Today is actually a very exciting day, with several votes split practically down the middle.
Here is what has taken place over the last week:
6 days ago:
Law proposals: Alliance
John Killah, the ePresident of eUSA proposed a mutual protection pact with Switzerland. This was approved, 46 to 7.
============================
4 days ago:
Law proposals: Alliance
Proposed by zebosk, the ePresident of eParaguay proposed a mutual protection pact with USA. This was approved, 42 to 6.
============================
Law proposals: Natural Enemy
Proposed by New Faustian Man. Spain has been proposed as Natural Enemy.
Rejected, with only 13 in favor and 32 opposed.
===========================
3 days ago
Law proposals: Income Tax
Proposed by Shane McCoy that income tax change from 25% to 5%. This was rejected with 19 in favor and 29 opposed. A very sad moment for Congress this month, as this was the proposal rejection that upset Shane so much, coming as it did right after this rejection:
Law proposals: Minimum Wage
Proposed by Shane McCoy that minimum wage change from 1 USD to 10 USD.
This was rejected, with 14 yes votes and 35 no votes.
===========================
Law proposals: Alliance
Proposed by Marko Aberst. The President of Mexico proposed a mutual protection pact with USA. This was approved, 32 to 9.
==========================
Law proposals: Natural Enemy
Proposed by Ronald Gipper Reagan. Republic of China (Taiwan) has been proposed as Natural Enemy. Approved, 46 to 5.
==========================
Yesterday
Law proposals: Alliance
Proposed by Lupusorul tainic. The President of Republic of Moldova proposed a mutual protection pact with USA. Approved, 41 to 7.
=========================
Several other votes are currently pending.

First!
But also, just a thought. Since this information is available to anyone who cares, what about talking about what goes on in the congressional forums. Show a little transparency and let your readers know things that they could't find any other way.
Great Idea though.
This information is available to anyone? How is that? I never got to see the "Admin" panel until I was a Congressman.

This page is visible to everyone.
Keep 'em coming Clint.
Will do. Curraaheeeeee!
Thank you Clint for the update and I believe it was a little more complicated about Shane McCoy and his meltdown...I would give him a 3.9 out of 10...seen much better rage quits...I remember the citizen who gave his Moderator password out and then raged out...now that was 10 out 10....
It's not a rage-quit competition. 🙂
Good Job Clint. Look back at what we wrote in the Speaker's Word last month for more ideas on article content. You will need to get SoH MollyEmma to publish it for you though. http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/62nd-us-congressional-report-week-two-2210346/1/20
Well, like I just said to Regency, I never got to see the 5th Admin panel until I was a Congressman. Guess I really am still an e-newb.
FYI, be cautious when fighting 'for' Switzerland. Right now Slovenia is wiping their regions. This is because the Swiss are under a PTO threat and their preferred way to fight it is by NOT having a Congress. Also be aware that Cronoss is NOT their rightful CP. Because of a screw up, Lotus Black did not click the appropriate button in time for the election. Lotus is the President of their resistance govt. by way of the primary election. (This is sort of like our Unity election.) To repeat, Cronoss is the PTO and should not be trusted.
