| Message | This act is to clear some of our excessive amount of treaties out. We ask each of the parties to offer some treaties which they would want to see removed so that we may come to a unanimous - or at least close to unanimous - vote. We move for "landmine prevention accord" and "Refuges welcome!" to be removed due to poor wording, phrasing or punctuation. The Brothers of Baltusia will likely offer more suggestions to be added to the legislation later. |
