Bill: The Repository of Proposals
Details
Submitted by[?]: Farmers' Militia
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: August 2149
Description[?]:
| I know that this won't pass until at least elections, but I don't want to waste proposals. So here's where I'll build them up until I can pass this. If the conservatives dont have a majority next elections... I guess it'll keep building then. Formerly- Paging the PPP, this is reality calling You've lost touch with me in recent years, what happened? We used to be so close, but then you went your seperate way. |

| Message | We fully support, although the last article is a little redundant - we already have a bill on that very issue. |
| Date | 18:19:43, November 28, 2005 CET | From | Farmers' Militia | To | Debating the The Repository of Proposals |
| Message | Not quite. Your bill has 'all arms can be exported freely' while mine is 'conventional arms.' The difference is that I am willing to sell handguns and hunting rifles, you are willing to sell 50 calibur sniper rifles and rocket propelled grenades. |
| Date | 19:41:29, November 28, 2005 CET | From | National Fiscal Group | To | Debating the The Repository of Proposals |
| Message | Apologies. |
| Date | 02:26:46, November 30, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Party/Church of Kalistan | To | Debating the The Repository of Proposals |
| Message | Fully support it. I have just checked the National statistics as well as Independent Regional ones and I really think that with the three of us, we can substantially water down the PPP as well as the already dwindling EPK. |

| Message | Good Luck! I didn't see this for a long time. My apologies. To the FM. We were close once. I remember when you were just a little party, just starting out. We lost touch when you decided to become a party advocating social conservatism and Theocracy. |

| Message | Actually, the joke was that I was speaking from the perspective of 'Reality'. Haha, bad joke, I know. Seemed funny at the time. |
