While it may only be symbolic it could be nonetheless significant. I am still new and not a member of the cosa so I am not sure of current protocol but does anyone think it would be a good idea to draft a resolution in support of those brave brave monks in Burma that seem to have successfully fomented a "saffron revolution". I am truly inspired by the bravery of the tens of thousands on the streets of the beleagured nation and that bravery and indomitable spirit remind me of another people....the talossan people. Respectfully, Breneir

A noble cause, talk to one of the members of the ziu about drafting a bill recognizing their bravery. Also, as formerly pointed out to me, you can't really post in here unless you're commenting on a bill posted by a member of the ziu.

Dreu is right as to protocol... it's not held to very strictly in the Hopper, since this is a more informal place to discuss legislation. But in the future, just go ahead and make a thread in the main Witt board, or of course you can simply contact one of your elected representatives. Since you are from M-M, that makes one of your representatives... me!
I like your idea very much. Please tell me more about the conflict and why you think this deserves a special bill in the Ziu. I'm not in opposition, I just want to know more. Feel free to just keep posting in this thread... you didn't know, and some leeway is fine.
EDIT: Just to be clear, though, in the future you should avoid posting new threads here. As a general guide: -No one not admitted to speak before the Cort can post in the Courtroom, unless asked to speak by an appropriate authority. -No one not in the Ziu can post in the Ziu, unless called by a member to speak there. -Non-governmental citizens should exercise caution and courtesy before posting in the Hopper, which should generally be done to comment on legislation with words of import, and should never create a new thread. -Non-herald citizens should exercise caution and courtesy before posting in the College of Arms, which should generally be done to comment on topics with words of import, and should never create a new thread except when following College protocol for such.

Basically it's a group of Buddhist Monk Protesters (and others) who are trying to end the seemingly eternal dictatorship of the burmese government

You are correct, Dreu. This revolution started with 88 protestors known as the 88 generation students who were leaders in the first uprising in 1988. It has now grown to some estimates 100,000 people across the nation who face brutality by a repressive military regime that has ruled the country through fear and atrocity for decades. The international community of which Talossa is a part of should codemn the dictators of Burma and support and help uplift the aspirations for freedom and liberty that have for too long been denied to the Burmese people.

Thank you, S:reu Tzaracomprada. I will look more into this issue and contemplate whether or not to offer legislation on the matter. I have my plate a bit full at the moment, of course, so another legislator may do so before I am able to, a situation which would be eminently acceptable.
Don't mistake my pace for reluctance, but there are a thousand causes and problems, and legislation can have serious consequences. I don't want to be hasty.

Bonjour mon capitan,
Would you be willing now to sponsor a resolution on the Burmese affair?

If no other legislator steps up, I will. It's definitely worth serious consideration. The more we hear about the situation, the worse it sounds.

I fervently agree C.M. The regime that rules Burmese people unmercifully truly disgusts me.

Apparently, blood is beginning to fill the streets. The Burmese army reports ten dead, while protestors say it is more like 200!

I recently saw a picture of brain particles from a young boy who had been beaten to death by security forces in the capital city, Rangoon. Shocking.
