Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Our people strewn across the lands, With sharpened crosses and books of lies, By sinful minds and brutal hands, They smote with hatred in their eyes, Our Jewish spirit beat so strong, Our children took to the streets with heart, Yet guns curtailed our Jewish Song, Their blades to rip our kin apart, But now we see a brighter day, And glories from a clearer sky, We'll see our brethren and we shall say, The Lords day now is truly nigh, For the Homeland! For the Homeland! In all we do and all we love, We aim for one uniting goal, Never again shall the tyrants' gloves, Brandish our bodies, sheathe our soul, For the Homeland! For the Homeland! In twenty three and fifty nine, We sent the Pnt閗 back to the east, The Star of David was our sign, To claim our land and kill the beast, For the Homeland! For the Homeland!

Proposed:
| Land of our fathers, whose almighty sway, Leads forth in battle one true Zionist way! Our people strive, with one unflinching aim, To laud Beiteynu, with one proclaim! Land of our fathers, tell us of our past, Of a great people, who this Homeland cast, Great flowing rivers, lofty mountains high, Be our reminder, for whom we die! Land of our fathers; Father Abraham, Be our strong arm, the leader of our men, Thy true religion in our hearts increase, Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace! Land of our fathers, every day renew, Our people's spirit and their faith in You, Fill all our lives, with love and grace divine, Hail Beiteynu, our nation shine! |

| Message | "Please could the delegates of the Imperial Unionist Party explain why the national anthem that has stuck with Beiteynu since the first Pntek invasion of 2309 and has in all that time given countless hope to out citizens is so ridiculous?" -- Rosh HaMemshala Josef Nehushtan |
| Date | 18:50:19, January 27, 2008 CET | From | Imperial Unionist Party | To | Debating the New National Anthem |
| Message | The delegates of the IUP would contest that the current anthem has given the citizens of our homeland any hope at all seeing as it is just a recycled 1980s eurovision song. the proposed anthem has been specially written for our country to mention our culture, religion, history and the beauty of Beiteynu. I urge you to listen to the anthem with the accompanying music i have given the link to, and we commend this bill to the House! |

| Message | OOC: Sorry I'm a bit confused here. Did you mean that it is based on a real life eurovision song or you are RPing that we based it on some Terra type Eurovision song contest? Or are you just saying you don't understand us for voting against the bill? Just want to clear things up, thanks. |

| Message | I believe that the tune of the national anthem is the same as that of a shit 1980s eurovision song. A national embarrassment! And yes i can't understand why you voted the new one down, other than the old guard not liking to change things like that at the suggestion of young turks like me! haha |

| Message | OOC: Well I still don't get what you are saying because I wrote this anthem with some help from IdioC and I can tell you for a fact it wasnt based on any eurovision song or any other real life song for that matter. Also you say you cant understand why we would vote it down, its the national anthem man think about how things are done in real life countries. When was the last time a country just decided to change their anthem that had been in place for over two hundred years just because one political party decided they didnt like the tune of it, it wouldnt happen. You need some element of stability in national matters and in any case I still cant see what is so bad about the current one. |
