Bill: National Anthem Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Union Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: December 4398
Description[?]:
The anthem currently in place represents a backward time in the history of our great, United , nation. Such a reminder of this divisive history, while important in understanding times in which it was written, has no place in being regaled as the national anthem for ALL people of our nation. As a Likatonian, as a Talmourian, and as a man, I submit this bill in the hopes of forever closing such a nasty wound in the body of Likatonian history. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton Old times there are not forgotten Look away! Look away! Look away! Lixie Land In Lixie Land where I was born Early on one frosty morn' Look away! Look away! Look away! Lixie Land I wish I was in Lixie, Hooray! Hooray! In Lixie Land, I'll take my stand To live and die in Lixie Away, away, away up north in Lixie Away, away, away up north in Lixie Away, away, away up north in Lixie
Current:
| "Beneath the Likatonian Skies" In the heart of every Likatonian soul, Lies the spirit of freedom, brave and bold. From the Luthori shores to Likatonia's land, We carved our destiny with our own hands. Beneath the Likatonian skies, so vast and wide, Together we stand, with pride side by side. From East Bolton's gold to the fields of green, In every heart, the Likatonian dream is seen. Through the trials of revolution's fiery night, We sought our liberty, our sacred right. In unity, our voices rose as one, Under the banner of freedom, we were never undone. From the Native Likatonian's ancient song, To the settlers' hopes, enduring and strong. In every corner of this land we roam, Likatonia, forever our home. In the east, where the wild frontiers call, To the western lands, where the mighty rivers fall. Our nation's story, a tapestry so grand, Woven by every woman, child, and man. Arise, Likatonians, in unity and might, For our land, for our freedom, for our right. Under the Likatonian skies, we pledge our love so true, To our beloved land, red, white, and blue. |
Proposed:
| Likatonia Home as I know Freedom’s homeland Where Liberty Grow Likatonia The Deer Under one Star Waving her Proud Banner At Home and Afar Likatonia On Land or By Sea I shall sing your name Through all eternity Likatonia Her Light shines on thee Calling all seeking The land of liberty |
