Home of The Brave: A 1960's Political RP

[Free Ward Marchers]

The date is now January 29nd - February 4th

[Louisianan]

Cybernetic, I suggest if you want a motion to pass quickly, that you make it a unanimous consent motion, "I ask unanimous consent to" blah blah blah, in this case it would be, "I ask unanimous consent to end debate." By doing that, you wouldn't need a second, just so long as there are no objections, the motion would pass.

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

sofia was going to ask for a vote, you're really doing this just so this can be filibustered again at a later date, aren't you?

No I'm not... after a filibuster is performed, and cloture is achieved and debate is ended, the debated measure is to be postponed. This was acknowledged in the congress a few days ago as well, any motions that are on the floor during a filibuster, will not be brought up right after the filibuster unless amendments are introduced. Again, you're taking this as a personal attack, I am simply doing my job. Not everything is about you, I'm trying to get more time-efficient bills passed to give the House something to do, but either way, it's beside the point. I have no ulterior motives.

I think Douglas will vote against the Moo Moo Yummy Act, his district being an urban one would generally be against the bill as it would raise prices for dairy products, and Douglas doesn't want the perception of just voting for all regulations. Also he wants to retain the persona of fighting against large corporations and fighting for the common folk and consumers.

It helps family-owned businesses and makes the corporations pay more money to farmers when they buy the milk for manufacturing purposes. The butter price in 1960 was 74 cents per pound, Broussard is making the minimum go to 60, meaning most prices would actually be prolly like 69 or 70 rather than the 74 at this point

It is still something Douglas hasn't made his mind on yet.

The polish cyclops is just sitting on the sidelines while everybody is getting at each other over the election

This election is basically a year and more away, and people are already going nuts. Funny. XD

"will not be brought up right after the filibuster unless amendments are introduced."

literally when was this said.

You literally never said this, not in the OOC, or in the congress thread, nore in the rules of the congress thread.

Speaker Pro Tempore: "The Aye's have it, the Foreign Assistance and Establishment of Peace Corps Act will be sent to the President for his signature. The House floor is open to motions and debate."

---

President Pro Tempore: "Barely having the two-thirds majority, the Aye's have it. Motion to invoke cloture was successful. The Gentleman has no more than one hour to continue his filibuster, and unless he can convince his colleagues to speak in his place for one hour per person, the gentleman must suspend. After which, the Senate will resume proceedings as normal, with the Voting Rights Enforcement Act back on the docket and off of the floor for the time being."

Senator Sofia Fraser (R-NY): Motion to proceed to a vote

President Pro Tempore: "This motion is out of order, Senato Fraser. We are currently in debate period, a motion to end debate must be made first, and even then, the bill would go back onto the docket, and end discussion of it for the day. There will be no vote on the matter as of right now."

Stop acting like you were unaware, it was said many times. You are causing unneeded drama. Please stop.

I think Douglas will still vote against the bill, because he thinks that businesses will raise their prices as a result of this bill because they always want to try to maximize profits. But he could vote in favor if another clause is added that is a ceiling for prices.

price fixing is a dangerous game, price fixing to a specific number by law, rather than an order that can be adjusted, is an extremely dangerous game.

[Dalmannia]

I say the best bet for the bill’s proponents is to put it back in the docket. Maybe some could negotiate with Boone, see if any amendments can be made. If concessions of any sort are made, who knows how he would vote. He certainly would be more lenient to any dissenters. Just remember, Boone isn’t above bribery, lobbying and any number of corrupt bargains...

Broussard has offered 'special interest' money, feel free to get back to him about that....

Hmmm... on the fate of VERA or something else?

[Newne Carriebean7]

Who wants to debate Sharp? He's still on that 'high' from filibustering and watching the peace corp land on the desk of the president, so he might feel cocky enough to possibly ask Boone for a one on one in a battle of good old fashioned witts.

I mean if it's too soon for another debate I understand.

[Louisianan]

Anything involving civil rights legislation. His 'interest group' lobbies against Civil Rights legislation and would make it worth your while to vote against it.

That is not happening. Price fixing is too dangerous, BUT, there is already a way to report price gouging if that's what your worried about.

[Chia Dal]

The endorsement of Brown Jr. is now official.

Would Douglas like to sign onto the Moo Moo Yummy Act?

I probably won't endorse this bill because it would negatively effect the dairy farmers in Elizabeth's district.

Segregationists are afraid of civil rights legislation because they don't want to be booted out of office.

That isn't Broussards motivation, maybe irl or other characters but not Broussards.

It would make businesses pay them more if they want to buy butter or milk for manufacturing purposes.

Man, the IC has turned into a ghost town.

I don't know why people aren't campaigning!!! I really enjoy ready the long speeches, also, anyone can reach out to anyone else if they want to start a situation like with Davis or Broussard for instance.

Well, Brown Jr. called Sharp out in his interview, so Sharp could respond in some way

Alright he'll blast him in between going to the senate bathroom and his office in chatting with reporters.
