*****Department of State Announcement*****

Our friends from 10000 Islands will be dropping by this weekend for another visit. It's a great way to get to know your allies while chowing down on some delicious barbecue.

This year, we will have a Pirates of the Gulf theme. So be sure to get your fancy pirate outfit nice and ready, practice some swashbuckling phrases, and keep a look out for any belligerent KRAKENS!!! And be sure to post any piratey double entendres responsibly. ;-)

*suddenly a massive pirate ship crashes through the floor of the Department of State building*
Ahoy ma- oh wait, this weekend...

**** New WA Resolution Notification *****

There is currently a new General Assembly Resolution at vote. When expressing your opinion, please note which Resolution it is for. And remember Texans, your individual vote does count!

The new Resolution is called:
"Right to a Reasonable Income
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice Strength: Significant Proposed by: Wallenburg

Description: Recognizing the plight of individuals of the poor"...

<see page=ga for full text>

Oh great, we have a "Social Justice" Resolution. Can you spell "Welfare"? The World Assembly wants to turn us all into Welfare States. F that. If we wanted to be a Social Democracy, we would be. If we wanted to be a Welfare State where everybody lives off the government teat from cradle to grave, we would be. If we wanted to be a Father Knows Best state, we would be. We don't. We are not voting for this load. NewTexas will go on record as AGAINST on this Resolution. This is only the opinion of NewTexas. We look forward to other Texans' opinions and comments on this Resolution. If good arguments to the contrary are made, we will reconsider our position.

If you would like to take part in shaping the world you live in, please vote. Voting is a right and a privilege, please consider using it. And, if you are not a member of the World Assembly, we strongly encourage you to join.

All WA Member nations please vote. Please make your opinions known in Texas by 11:00pm Saturday and in the World Assembly voting booth by 11:00am Texas Time on Sunday the 18th. Current voting in The World is running - Votes FOR: 2010 Votes AGAINST: 4052

Big Tex

PS: Remember, be sure to vote at the World Assembly too!

Hello Texans! I am from 10000 Islands! BTW The Incorporated States of NewTexas I totally agree woth you on how you feel about the resolution.

Do we still do the "post your UN vote in the thread" routine? It's been a long time for me. If so, I vote AGAINST the bill.

Oh yeah, hello all.

Perhaps my true form will serve better.

Howdy Mr. Former Vice President of Texas! Since you have been gone, we have switched from President to Governor and the VP job is now Lieutenant Governor. FYI, your first arrival in Texas was 06/05/2004. That was a long time ago. You last died 04/22/2013. It is great to see you again Green-ville! We hope everyone gives you a big Welcome Home!

Hello FGFA😃

Howdy, Texas! As requested, I have brought Anime daisuki's Kraken with me. It needs to be properly fed with Tacos. :-)

Hello, citizens of Texas! Just arriving from the Islands, looking forward to a weekend with you all!
