**** 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:
"Circulation Of World Assembly Law
A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.

Category: Education and Creativity Area of Effect: Educational Proposed by: The Wallenburgian World Assembly Offices

Aware that compliance with World Assembly laws relies upon popular understanding of national and international law"...

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

Synopsis: The General Assembly does not trust their member nations to bow down them and pledge compliance and fealty. They now want to create a new bureaucratic entity to place in your nation to assure that you tell your populace about new WA legislation and their responsibilities under said legislation. You can tell your populace or you can let the WA do it for you. The choice is up to you. Zero 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 back in the dumper on the last GA vote -- Repeal: "On Universal Jurisdiction" -- which was tossed out on a technicality after gaining 82.8% 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 2 publicly-expressed opinions on the last Resolution with the final Texas tally running 2 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 Tuesday and in the World Assembly voting booth by 11:00 PM Texas Time on Sunday the 9th. Current voting in The World is running - Votes FOR: 8944 Votes AGAINST: 2146

Big Tex

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