I thought you guys were Stalinists in denial? Why do you keep not only advertising in a capitalistic manner, but doing so in violation of the law?

Because they're what I like to call "Internet Socialists." They don't know what socialism is, although they claim to have read a book by "Marks", and they often disregard common sense. I suppose the law is just a new form of common sense that they feel they must expand their ignorance to.

Fuck the law, we USLP :P. But seriously, this is not an encouragement of people to JOIN USLP, just what an ad is on local televisions to encourage citizens to contact their representatives, that's not illegal :P.

It is entirely illegal. And I think the fact you've never even been reprimanded is a strong showing of admin bias.

Regardless, it's advertising under the Ethics Act. Remove it, please.

Yeah that's my point, if you don't know exactly what you are looking for it's hopeless. I have spent half an hour looking for a bill before, speaking as somebody up to date on most bills that pass. Many people are not that active or have a clue what has been before. What does not help (that is not the admins fault) is that there are quite a few bills whose titles do not correlate with their content. Hence hopefully I can fix this and once all sorted I will add a short sentence about what each bill is about.

Also when people want to write a new law they can't see all the bills in the area they are dealing with. So now they can. That is the other massive problem with the current archives.

Once we get our fifth admin installed, I'll actually be launching a sort of admin initiative of organization, if you will. The person or people assigned to the archives should get in touch with you when that time comes.


Yeah, I will see how I get on with mine. It's quite a bit of work but once it's all done weekly updates should not be too hard, maybe take ten mins.

Sorry. If the admins have any bias, it seems a bit exaggerated.
