Boone’s reply would be curt. After all, he was getting tired of writing and of having to decipher Sharp’s hieroglyphics. More could be easier said face-to-face. After sending this message over, Boone prepared to stand and cast his vote.

Sounds like we’ve got ourselves some common ground. We’ll talk later in your Senate office.


Earl Boone
Senator from Tennessee (Democratic)

"Nay." the Tennessean declared in a steely tone, seating himself just as swiftly as he had risen. Eyeing his fellow Senate Democrats and considering Fraser’s stand, he knew how most of the voting would proceed. From across the chamber, Earl returned a smug smirk to Turner’s glare.

Official Name: The Child Unemployment Prevention Act of 1959

Nickname: Child Labor Act


Overview: This bill aims to preserve child labor laws currently existing in states and shall prohibit congress from passing subsequent legislation to repeal child labor laws. It shall also set in place strict guidelines to ensure that every race is treated equally with respect to the general pool of labor that will be available.

Sponsor: Senator Joshua Sharp (Democratic-MS)
Co-Sponsors:


[b]Section 1: Child Labor, for the purposes of this legislation, is defined as: 'manual labor undertaken by those below the general age of consent and are lacking in physical and mental facilities but have not yet been institutionalized justly for the purposes of employment in return for monetary compensation for their efforts.'

Section 2: Congress shall make no law to repeal, replace or substitute in states which have already, by their legislative facilities and executive functions, already made laws in place to institute Child Labor Laws and bans on the practice of Child Labor.

Section 3: Congress shall make no law, enter into any negotiation, treaty or international body with confounding interests in order to encourage state governments to reconsider their bans on child labor, as that infringes upon the rights of state governments and their just and true people.

Section 4: Congress shall make no law expanding, increasing, motivating or encouraging either the passage of Child Labor bans, freezes, suspensions, edicts or proclamations to the effect of increasing child unemployment levels by interfering in state government business with respect to a potential ban on Child Labor as a legally sound thing to do.

Section 4: Age of consent shall be defined and determined based on each individual states' general laws and definitions for 'age of consent'.

Section 5: For those families who currently have on child under the age of 17 working outside of the home, they shall receive a government stimulus every month to range from 14.45 to 16.65, depending on the number of children working, the fields in which they are working, the number of general hours work, and the overall age of the legal guardians at home.

Section 6: This bill will not look to the pigmentation of the race of the child, in accordance with U.S Law. Legally, the ethnic background of the parents will also not be under consideration, nor any question of race, age, height, weight, bodily density, caloric intake or flatulence metering.


This bill is then honorably presented to the United States Senate for consideration in order to prevent a rampant rise in child unemployment by defending the rights of state governments with respect to child labor laws in order to improve the United States Law and is backed by Joshua Sharp on August 4, 1959.

Senator Joseph Gorski Warszawski put the following bill into the docket:

Image


Official Name: Puerto Rico Statehood Admission Act


Overview: This bill seeks to deal with unexpected and urgent needs of refugees, displaced persons, conflict victims, and other persons at risk around the globe.

Sponsor: Joseph Gorski Warszawski (R-PA)
Co-Sponsors: Joshua Sharp (D-MS)


Section. 1.

This Act may be cited as the “Puerto Rico Statehood Admission Act”.

Section. 2.

The Congress finds the following:

A. The United States national sovereignty in Puerto Rico was established by the Treaty of Paris between the United States and the Kingdom of Spain (30 Stat. 1754), signed on December 10, 1898.

B. Puerto Rico is governed by the United States under laws enacted by Congress in the exercise of its power to make rules and regulations governing territory belonging to the United States, pursuant to article IV, section 3, clause 2 of the Constitution.

C. For reasons of precedent primarily related to the Philippines also ceded by Spain after the Spanish-American War, substantially the same majority in the United States Supreme Court that established the “separate but equal” doctrine in Plessy v. Ferguson determined in the 1901 Downes v. Bidwell decision that Puerto Rico was an unincorporated territory of the United States, a status of possession that continues today.

D. After agreeing to independence for the Philippines, also acquired through the Spanish-American War, on March 2, 1917, Congress granted statutory United States citizenship to the residents of Puerto Rico. Such action has historically led to incorporation and eventual statehood but was denied to Puerto Rico due to anomalies emanating from the 1901 Downes ruling and its progeny, even as fellow Americans in Hawaii and Alaska attained statehood.

E. Puerto Rico has a territorial constitution that is republican in form and compatible with the United States Constitution as well as the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and that is equivalent to a State constitution, having been democratically ratified by the United States citizens of the territory on November 4, 1952, and subsequently approved by the Congress of the United States through Public Law 82–447.

F. Thirty-two territories previously have petitioned Congress for statehood based on democratically expressed consent of the governed, and each was duly admitted as a State of the Union pursuant to article IV, section 3, clause 1 of the United States Constitution, with equal rights and responsibilities of national and State citizenship under the United States Constitution.

G. Puerto Ricans have contributed greatly to the nation and its culture and distinguished themselves in every field of endeavor. However, the denial of equal voting representation and equal treatment by the Federal Government stands in stark contrast to their contributions.

H. Since becoming a United States territory, more than 200,000 American citizens of Puerto Rican heritage have served in the United States military.

I. Thousands of United States military service members of Puerto Rican heritage have received numerous medals, distinctions, and commendations of every degree, including for valorous military service in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

J. Multiple United States military service members from Puerto Rico have been awarded the Medal of Honor, and many have been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross or the Navy Cross.

K. The 65th Infantry Regiment in Puerto Rico (known as the “Borinqueneers”) is one such example of excellence in service to our country for its contributions and sacrifices in the armed conflicts of the United States, including World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.

L. Unincorporated territory status means that Federal laws can be applied to Puerto Rico and its American citizens differently, on unequal and, at times inequitable terms, compared not only to the States and their residents, but also unlike territories that are parts of the United States. This has limited the development of Puerto Rico and hindered its economy.

M. Unincorporated territory status has resulted in millions of residents leaving Puerto Rico to secure equal rights of citizenship attainable only in a State, and that enable Americans to seek greater opportunities and a better quality of life in the States. Approximately 40 percent of all people of Puerto Rican origin now live in the States, with the increasing rate of population loss in the territory creating a severe strain on the local tax base and workforce participation.

N. Other than its unincorporated territory status and its unequal treatment under some Federal laws, Puerto Rico is socially, economically, politically, and legally integrated into the nation. Numerous territories admitted as States did not have as strong a record of self-determination favoring statehood as the majority votes by American citizens in Puerto Rico favoring admission to the Union.

Section. 3. Admission

Subject to the provisions of this Act, and upon issuance of the proclamation required by section 7(c), the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is hereby declared to be a State of the United States of America, and as such shall be declared admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the other States in all respects.

Section. 4. Physical Territory

The State of Puerto Rico shall consist of all the islands, together with their appurtenant reefs, seafloor, and territorial waters in the seaward boundary, presently under the jurisdiction of the territory of Puerto Rico.

Section. 5. Constitution

The constitution of the State of Puerto Rico shall always be republican in form and shall not be repugnant to the Constitution of the United States and the principles of the Declaration of Independence. The constitution of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, as approved by Public Law 82–447 and subsequently amended, is hereby found to be republican in form and in conformity with the Constitution of the United States and the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and is hereby accepted, ratified, and confirmed as the constitution of said State.

Section. 6. Certification by President

Upon enactment of this Act, the President of the United States shall certify such fact to the Governor of Puerto Rico. Thereupon the Governor shall, within 30 days after receipt of the official notification of such approval, issue a proclamation for the election of Senators and Representatives in Congress.

Section. 7. Election of Officers / Submission of Proposition

The proclamation by the Governor in section 6 shall designate and announce the dates and other requirements for primary and general elections under applicable Federal and local law for representation in the Senate and the House of Representatives in accordance with the following:

(1) In the first election of Senators, the two senatorial offices shall be separately identified and designated, and no person may be a candidate for both offices. Nothing in this section shall impair the privilege of the Senate to determine the class and term to which each of the Senators-elect shall be assigned.

(2) In the first election of Representatives following admission, and subsequent elections until the next Census-based reapportionment cycle, Puerto Rico shall be entitled to the same number of Representatives as the State whose most recent Census population was closest to, but less than, that of Puerto Rico, and such Representatives shall be in addition to the membership of the House of Representatives as now prescribed by law: Provided, that any such increase in the membership shall not operate to either increase or decrease the permanent membership of the House of Representatives as prescribed in the Act of August 8, 1911 (37 Stat. 13), nor shall such temporary increase affect the basis of apportionment established by the Act of November 15, 1941 (55 Stat. 761; 2 U.S.C. 2a), for the Eighty-third Congress and each Congress thereafter, unless Congress acts to increase the total number of members of the House of Representatives. Thereafter, the State of Puerto Rico shall be entitled to such number of Representatives as provided for by applicable law based on the next reapportionment. The apportionment of congressional districts for the first election and subsequent election of Representatives shall be conducted as provided for by the Constitution and laws of Puerto Rico.

(3) The President of the State Elections Commission of Puerto Rico shall certify the results of such primary and general elections to the Governor. Within 10 days of the date of each certification, the Governor shall declare the results of the primary and general elections, and transmit the results of each election to the President of the United States, the President pro tempore of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Section. 8. Continuity of Laws, Government, and Obligations

Upon the admission of the State of Puerto Rico into the Union, the following shall apply:

(1) CONTINUITY OF LAWS.—All laws of the United States and laws of Puerto Rico not in conflict with this Act shall continue in full force and effect following the date of admission of Puerto Rico as a State of the Union.

(2) CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT.—The individuals holding legislative, executive, and judicial offices of Puerto Rico shall continue to discharge the duties of their respective offices when Puerto Rico becomes a State of the Union.

(3) CONTINUITY OF OBLIGATIONS.—All contracts, obligations, liabilities, debts, and claims of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities shall continue in full force and effect as the contracts, obligations, liabilities, debts, and claims of the State of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities.

(4) TITLE TO PROPERTY.—The State of Puerto Rico and its political subdivisions, as the case may be, shall have and retain title to all lands and other properties, real and personal, over which the territory and its subdivisions presently hold title. The United States shall retain title to all property, real and personal, to which it presently has title, including public lands.

Section. 9. Repeals

All Federal and territorial laws, rules, and regulations, or parts of Federal and territorial laws, rules, and regulations, applicable to Puerto Rico that are incompatible with the political and legal status of statehood under the Constitution and the provisions of this Act are repealed and terminated as of the date of statehood admission proclaimed by the President under section 7(c) of this Act. Except for those parts that are not in conflict with this Act and the condition of statehood, the following shall be deemed repealed upon the effective date of the admission of Puerto Rico as a State

This bill is then honorably presented to the Senate for consideration in order to at least in part begin the process of statehood admission of the unincorporated territory of Puerto Rico to improve the United States Law and is backed by Joseph Gorski Warszawski on August 7th 1960.

Senator Warszawski and Senator Sharp:
I will support Puerto Rico statehood on the condition that you support the repeal of the Reapportionment Act of 1929. It makes no sense to add states but deny those states the right to proportional representation, does it not?

Senator Sharp furrows his brow at the nonsense that the Montanan Senator shoved on his desk and writes back in response:

Senator Ladyhee;
What the hell are you on and is it legal in my native Mississippi?

I ain't supportin' no repeal o' none o' that shits. They'll git one senator n' two representatives. Wait, flip that around n' y'all see m' reasonin onnits.

P.S Please go to hell.

Ladhe replies:

This is a popular move among Democrats and will put more southerners in office. We're the more popular party anyways, there's no reason not to ensure that you and your ilk don't remain in power. I'll throw in support for a few of your anti-negroe bills, how about that?

Senator Sharp readjusts himself in his senate seat and laughs, chuckles and hee-haws himself to pissing his pants. As he realized he would have to go back to his office for the spare pair of trousers he had hanging on some important paperwork that he keeps telling his constituents is really important work when it's just some cruddy documents on legislation passed in the awkward phase between Sharp's house wilderness years and the death of Sharp's favorite old time senator from South Carolina in November of 1944, he composes himself and holds in his aging body together for just a moment before responding.

Senator Lady-hee-hee-hee:
No. I ain't doin' it, Mr. Ladhe. I don't give a rat's ass if we're the most popular party, that dosen't have any bearin' on the matters of statehood. I ain't workin' on gittin that Reapportionment Act of 1929 killed. It's one of the only good things Hoover did in his lousy presidency. Beside's that Damned Dam. Goddamn!

To which Ladhe replies again:

I'll drop out of the race and endorse you.


A lie, of course. But this old fool didn't need to know that.

Senator Sharp looked a little surprised at the answer. This man was saying he would drop out of the presidential race? Where would all those liberals go then? Sharp sure as hell wasn't going to get anywhere else fast with the Boone and... Turner divvying up the alligators and crocodiles within Dixie. Hell, Sharp was amazed that his debate with Fraser yielded positive results for him back then. Sharp was a little skeptical, and smelt something else. It wouldn't make sense in his mind for Ladhe, the great, liberal hero of the white Americans who said they weren't racist to just capitulate all in exchange for a wimpy, do nothin' bill. Maybe Ladhe was this... this devoted to his causes.

That was something Sharp greatly respected in the man. He stuck to his principles and never wavered.

So Sharp ought to stay true to his principles.

Alright, have fun dropping out. I ain't budging on this. I don't think you heard this from Broussard but I'd love it more if I said it straight to your face:
A no from Senator Sharp means no!

Ladhe, persistent as ever, doesn't know when to stop:

I'll throw in $10 million for funding your Senate campaign. I've noticed you've dropped a point or two...

Senator Sharp banged his head against his Senate desk with an audible thud that even the President Pro Tempore's aging ears would be able to hear. Sharp was getting a little sleepy from all this bullshit, so he decided to make it snappy with a response.

I'd appreciate the money, but if you read the poll again, I was up a point. UP. I'm just fine without a handout from you. If you won't be seein' my ass next Congress, then it's my fault, not yours. I don't need no damn money for my senate race. I can fundraise on my own two feet damn you.

Representative Richard Douglas
[Democratic-Farmer-Labor - 4th District of Minnesota]

Douglas sighed he couldn't believe that the Speaker would put Broussard in such a position of privilege. But at least he couldn't ask him questions he thought. Come to think of it, Broussard was really the only who had asked him questions on this bill, he could probably motion for a vote he thought to himself, and that was exactly what he would do.
