History

Why can't we just raise the minimum wage to $50? So-called "liberals" make the argument that more money in the hands of workers would stimulate the economy through extra spending, but these are the same blood-sucking parasites who compromise and insist that the min. wage be raised to 20, 15 [I]OR EVEN 11 DOLLARS![/I] Let's show these conservative pawns the REAL liberal movement is fighting for a fair worker's wage and raise it to $50!

Hello! I juat read back in your forum a month or so.....nothing bad if it was resolved!

50 is a little much, but with inflation....

Same on this end......I was cracking a joke at our national debt and how little USD is worth comparativly, and also hinting towards the apathy of the american consumer, throwing money out on plastic and ending up in the red.

I Officially announce my campaign for seat 5 of the Board of Freedom. :)

Northern Prussia and myself will be absent for the most of the afternoon, and evening. The upper echelon is required to attend, so we will be there all night.

My party endorses you.

Everyone needs to see this. http://www.buzzfeed.com/kellyoakes/are-you-a-feminist

The RLP will be endorsing Alchandria.

Meanwhile, I ask you all this economics question: what is the sticky wages theory and is it correct?

Just saw Captain America: Winter Soldier. Great pro freedom movie. I recommend it.

Oh, I saw that....It was rather good.

Once I am all caught up with my work, does anyone want to participate in some forum role play of some sort?

I need land!

So, what are y'all favorite albums?

New or Old?

Hallo Island wrote:So, what are y'all favorite albums?

I like a lot of 'greatest hits of...' and other such compilation albums. They filter out all the crappy filler that's in most albums.

But if I could pick two vanilla albums I really like for consistent quality, I'd have to say Bad and Dangerous.

It's my 171st day in Libertatem. Hate to say but, that's honestly a record for me. I've never stayed in a region for so long. This is fantastic.

Stupid Muh. Being here twenty days longer than me.

Humpheria wrote:Stupid Muh. Being here twenty days longer than me.

This was not my first nation on NS. I've been playing maybe 3 years now? I used to serve as a delegate for a 30+ member region. Unfortunately the mods thought i did something wrong on the forums.. (can't figure this one out?) and my original nation was banned.. and won't be returned.

I was wrong. I was here first.

172 days ago: Humpheria relocated from The East Pacific to Libertatem.

I'm one day longer. Haha. But that was also my first day on NS.

I would like to disagree with it on principle, but I would need to see more analytical data regarding the matter than i am currently familiar with to have a real judgment of the topic.

Damn, Slavya got owned.

Good Morning, all.

Morning.

So Humph, when are myself and my opponent having this debate?

I also recommend that it be time-limited, to something like an hour.

COURT Act Vote Totals

M: 3/3

B: 5/5

H: 9/10

With an overwhelming majority of votes, the COURT Act has passed both chambers of our legislature, and has now been signed into law by Pevvania.

Question:

Do I gather information about previous court cases and put them to record?

Muh Roads wrote:Question:

Sure, if you can find any.

Hallo Island wrote:*pops champagne*

Hallo, what party do you currently represent?

I'm putting up an amendment to the COURT Act. This'll only be a six-hour poll.

I motion to amend Section VI to include the following clause on executive orders:

"The President may be granted the power to issue executive orders in times when it is deemed necessary beyond due process. An executive order may be repealed by a future President, by unanimous Board vote or by a successful legal challenge."

I believe this is an issue that extends far beyond that of merely being an amendment to an act. The region needs more time to consider the nature of an executive order; as a result, I'm voting NAY on this motion.

That said, I would like to see an entire Act (or maybe it'll have to be a Constitutional Amendment, considering it modifies how executives wield their power?) dedicated to something along the lines of this clause. After proper time for debate, of course.

A Constitutional Amendment is not required, as Article II and the Board Authority Clause already outline executive orders and ways to check them, respectively.

I feel it gives the President too much power.

Hallo Island wrote:I feel it gives the President too much power.

Actually, it curbs the power of the President as it codifies an avenue for executive orders - which are in the Constitution - to be repealed.

The First Question: (Source: Ipian)

What will you do for the gay community?

I want a nice clean debate. A little mud slinging is ok, it's politics, but don't get too crazy.

Humpheria wrote:I want a nice clean debate. A little mud slinging is ok, it's politics, but don't get too crazy.

Don't tread on me, Humpheria. xD

Everyone please send me questions, preferably not on the War. I only have two more after this.

Sorry guys, I'm going to get my hair cut now. Will be back in an hour or two.

Pevvania wrote:Sorry guys, I'm going to get my hair cut now. Will be back in an hour or two.

Have fun the questions will be here for you.

Questions: (Source: Muh Roads)

Will you continue the war on communism? Why or why not?

If you could write one piece of legislation to improve Libertatem what would it be?

Super serious question: cake or death?

Who will you appoint as Managers (and Vice President if the Amendment passes)

Do you approve of the current Board's decisions? Why or why not?

Actually I'll leave in ten minutes, so I'll answer this question.

Humpheria wrote:The First Question: (Source: Ipian)

What will you do for the gay community?

Here in Libertatem, long-hold values like liberty and republicanism guide our government in making decisions. The Constitution guarantees that "The government shall make no law enforcing an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,"

I fully support speech and assembly rights, and am a strong supporter of the gay community and the right to freely marry. I have protected these rights during my Presidency, and will continue to do so in my next term.

The War on Communism is what our region was founded on. It is not a relic of a past era, but continues to be a shining beacon of hope for those nations living under and threatened by the spectre of tyranny. But this spectre is quickly vanishing. Due in part to Libertatem's actions, the Empire is crumbling. V Ming even said herself that "After ten years, the NS Left is reaching the point of stagnation." La Pasionara, Proletaurus and Ming are gone. The Internationale has been torn apart by infighting. The Communist Region has withdrawn into itself. We must keep up the pressure. We must, we can and we will win this war.

Humpheria wrote:The First Question: (Source: Ipian)

Well, as a homosexual myself, this a important issue for me. I would like to create ties with non communist gay and gay friendly regions, but, I recognise that we do have so people here with very traditional conservative values, so I would make sure I am not infringing upon the rights of the religious and conservative members of the region.

Candidates will have three hours to answer. Anything not answered will not be noted. The rest of the region is now free to carry on and send me more questions.

Humpheria wrote:Questions: (Source: Muh Roads)

Will you continue the war on communism? Why or why not?

Yes, but in another direction. I want to steer us away from small meaningless, peaceful regions, and begin to target only relevant, dangerous, and oppressive communist regions.

If you could write one piece of legislation to improve Libertatem what would it be?

A bill that makes it so nobody can be punished or discriminated against by the legal system based on their religious, political, or ideological beliefs.

Super serious question: cake or death?

Cake.

Who will you appoint as Managers (and Vice President if the Amendment passes)

Muh Roads, Humpheria, Ron and Rick, Amarican.

Do you approve of the current Board's decisions? Why or why not?

I am against the ban of TTA because I believe it was a biased decision on the board's part.

Hallo Island wrote:Who will you appoint as Managers (and Vice President if the Amendment passes)

Muh Roads, Humpheria, Ron and Rick, Amarican.

Who is who?

I am not sure yet.

I admit, if I had a vote yet, Id go NAY, because The USA abuses executive orders so bad.

It is a difficult decision, due to the expansion of executive power. But, simply because sometimes it is necessary. I vote YEA. I would be much more comfortable if there was a time expiration of Executive orders to prevent bad orders from having long term effects.

New Question: (Source: Humpheria)

What are your opinions on Executive Orders? (in general)

What do you see as the largest detriment to Libertatem's success.

What will you do to "deal with" this detriment?

Do you love me?

Humpheria wrote:New Question: (Source: Humpheria)

I believe that we do not need executive orders as I would have faith in my managers and board members to make good decisions.

What do you see as the largest detriment to Libertatem's success.

The suppression of differing ideologies and the arguments and lack of unity.

What will you do to "deal with" this detriment?

Make more decisions based on house votes, and the will of the people.

Do you love me?

Forever

Who is your favorite U.S. President?

Reagan.

Humpheria wrote:New Question: (Source: Humpheria)

[B] I think 5 years ago, I saw them as a nessecary piece of politics, needed to maintain a fair government and stability in any nation. About 1 year ago, I thought the same and was oblivious to what they were being used for. Since, I have found out about this. When bills are being ordered at 2AM, I know the corruption is getting extreme. While I previously approved of them, now, (Thanks Obama), I am very very wary of them and think they must at least be limited.

What do you see as the largest detriment to Libertatem's success.

[B]Havent been here long, not really sure, but the place looks pretty good. Ive seen some nasty stuff about here and about Pevv, (which is unfortunate), so I must say the foreign tensions. Would any of you agree?

What will you do to "deal with" this detriment?

[B]I will help any way I can, specifically in foreign affairs.

[B]Sorry, no. Im taken.(And theres that whole thing about not knowing you....)

[B]Millard Filmore

Bagels.

I would likely keep with the same cabinet, although I will be appointing a new Attorney-General. I would choose Humpheria as my running mate.

I strongly support our Board. It acts as both an independent political voice and a representative of the people of this region.

They are necessary in cases when due process is not an option, but there needs to be a safeguard against their overuse.

Foreign powers that seek to weaken and divide us.

Confront them diplomatically, and maintain strength in the face of aggression.

Of course.
