**** 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:
"The Cloning Conventions
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.

Category: Health  Area of Effect: Bioethics  Proposed by: Caspian Settlement

Disturbed by the lack of legislation concerning biological clones"...

<see the General Assembly for full text and to vote>

Commentary: The General Assembly wants to tell you how to perform cloning in your nation should you so decide. Is it really the WA's business if you want to clone a previous leader or whomever for that matter? We do not think so. Your nation, your freedom to dangle. No Stars. 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.

The Texas response was down on the last GA vote -- Repeal: "On Tobacco And Electronic Cigarettes" -- which was defeated after gaining only 20.3% of the vote. As a reminder, all we are looking for is a simple 10% of Texans to say one way or another. We are a force for change in the WA. Every vote counts! There were 3 publicly-expressed opinions on the last Resolution with the final Texas tally running 3 FOR and 0 AGAINST and 0 ABSTAIN and 0 UNDECIDED. Texans were unanimous! Yay!

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 Texas WA Member nations please vote. Please make your Texan opinions known in Texas by 11:00 PM Friday and in the World Assembly voting booth by 11:00 PM Texas Time on Saturday the 16th. Current voting in The World is running - Votes FOR: 4171 Votes AGAINST: 7077

Big Tex

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

I have no Spartan Talitha. I'm a ship A.I. of the UNSC Sabre of Dawn, a Sol-class Command Carrier not to be confused with the UNSC Hammer of Dawn, a Marathon-Class Heavy Cruiser. :)

Sir, I believe you're wise enough to be our "Sensible Grandparent" here in Texas despite being young. However, I wouldn't want my "Sensible Grandparent" to go "Nyah ha ha ha!". That said, if you're going to be our "Sensible Grandparent" you need to stop laughing like a maniac or a villain. Seriously, it would be too freaky to have a "Sensible grandparent" who laughs like that. Btw, do you really laugh like that in real life or do you only go "Nyah ha ha ha!" on this RMB?
