Bill: Historical Site Protection Act of June 2549
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Zeus Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2550
Description[?]:
| It is our belief that Solentia must protect its rich history and magnificent historic sites. The NZP feels the best method to complete such a thing is through the creation of an agency specifically for this purpose and to support non-profit organizations who wish to establish museums and spread cultural knowledge. These actions will raise national pride and attract tourists to our national sites and to show them what we are really about. |

| Message | Respectfully, The Federal Republican League would proudly endorse this bill if it were not for Article 1. Allowing local governments to run their states with the regional knowledge and close-connections to the citizens is clearly a more effective means to this end. Leaving Article 1 as is, and providing grants and so on to the local governments seems optimal to the F.R.L. and a worthwhile idea. We also share the same values as the N.Z.P. however, it is not within reason to assume a federal organization can do the job better than those closest to the important and historical landmarks of our proud Republic.

| Message | The United Democratic Party is mildy concerned as to how these endeavors will be funded, but we are fond of the idea. You have our support if you can give us a plan for funding. Director of Environment and Tourism, Melissa Doster |

| Message | To The F.R.L.: We believe that a national agency would be more equipped to handle the national monuments and such because while some monuments reflect regional histories and cultures, all the monuments as a whole reflect the history of the entire nation therefore it should be a national project under one single umbrella, naturally this national agency would work very closly with local experts and authorities. |

| Message | To The United Democratic Party: As far as funding would go, we believe this best plan would be to of course except charitable donations, and to take money from the tourism and enviromental budgets. We would also like to see the agency establish volunteer programs. As with any plan there will be kinks to work out but we believe that using the proposed methods as a starting point and fine tuning things as we go will be just fine. |

| Message | Respectfully, To our esteemed colleagues we must again disagree. While you raise a point the reality is Ye Olde Bridge in Halion is something we are not going to have any clue as to it's meaning on a local level and thus has short-sighted a historical, cultural or artistic site. Near my own home for example, there is a local monument to the Anti-Horse Theft Society which dates back in the 18th century-do you think the Federal Government would raise an eyebrow to this regionally recognized area of specialty? |

When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
