Bill: National Motto Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Telamonese Cultural Alliance
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 2448
Description[?]:
| We need a new national motto. "Onward Telamon, Onward Macon" reflects the now-defunct Union of Macon, which Telamon is not a member of. Hutori and Davostan, while our immediate neighbors, are of little concern to the Commonwealth. Some suggestions: "Fowards with God for Emperor and Country" "A Commonwealth of Steel, a Future of Gold" "Five Cantons, One Commonwealth" "Telamon Endures" "We Will Prosper" "Family, Ferescia, Fatherland" "Now We are Free" (FHP suggested) "Live Long and Prosper" (FHP suggested) Please debate and offer your own. |

| Message | How about having "Telamon Endures" in Latin? "Telamon Superest" |

| Message | A latin motto sounds like a good idea, actually. But "Telamon Superest" soundfs like something a child would say. It's not just super, it's the superest. How about: Iam nos es solvo |

| Message | Considering that means "now I save us, thou art," I don't see the appeal. |

| Message | If people are willing support "Telamon Endures" in English as the motto...? |

| Message | it does? That's strange. I put "Now we are free" into an english -> latin translator, and it returned Iam nos es solvo. Out of the choices you placed originally, the Free Humanity Party favors the following "A Commonwealth of Steel, a Future of Gold" "Five Cantons, One Commonwealth" "We Will Prosper" We feel "Telamon endures" is too generic. |

| Message | Keep debating. The PTC will hold off moving this to a vote until after the 2447 elections. |

| Message | I would agree to "A Commonwealth of Steel, a Future of Gold" and "Telamon Endures" - maybe adding a last word or second sentence would make it less generic? |
