Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: HYMN TO THE COMMONWEALTH 1. O Rutania, for ever you're strong sacred country! O Rutania, for ever the land that we love! The glory that's great and the will that is mighty - So be they thy virtue for ages to come. CHORUS Praised be the Commonwealth, cherishing home of ours - Cent'ries-old union of peoples in free, Popular wisdom given us by forefathers. Praised be our country! And we're proud of thee! 2. From seas in the West and to Artania's borders Our woods and our meadows have stretched far away. Alone in the whole world, you stand one and only! Long live for ever our dear native land. CHORUS 3. For generous dreaming, for living and longing The years approaching give us ample scope. With faith in our Homeland we are getting stronger. It was so, it is so and it will be so! (To the tones of the Hymn of the Russian Federation, music by Alexandr Vasilievich Alexandrov.)

| Message | I haven't seen it, but I'm sure that DreamGirls is a horrible movie. For that I have to vote no. |

| Message | Yes, I respect your opinion on the movie, but the vote was on the SONG. It was a good song to INSPIRE the people as they sing their National Anthem but it was also an Anthem that can be respected by Rutania's youth culture who tend to be "hip" |
| Date | 16:13:08, September 26, 2007 CET | From | Vox Popularis Imperator | To | Debating the A National Anthem of HOPE, INSPIRATION, & OPTIMISM Act of 2461 |
| Message | Well that sure is a horrible song. |
