9. The following text shall be known as The Oath of Talossan Citizenship:
From this day forward, I pledge my loyalty, allegiance, and fidelity to the Kingdom of Talossa and to His Majesty's government. I solemnly affirm that I will support and uphold the Organic Law of the Kingdom of Talossa, defend the realm against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, faithfully observe its laws, respect the rights and freedoms of all my fellow citizens, fulfill all my duties and obligations as a citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa, and humbly appreciate the benefits granted unto me by my King, most especially when those benefits take the form of Talossan currency.

This one is good also. Thanks.

Very Good. Thanks.

The oath itself isn't new -- we're just modifying it.  It's in our statutory code, which you can read here.  It's E.9.

Quote7.6.6 A News Mailing List shall be maintained by the Chancery for the purpose of sharing monthly gazettes compiled by the Government.
7.6.6.1 Communications shared in this way shall entirely consist of news about Talossa and drafted by the relevant Government minister.
7.6.6.2 Such communications may only be forwarded up to once per calendar month.

7.6.7 A Governmental Mailing List shall be maintained by the Chancery for the purpose of sharing information about Government business.
7.6.7.1 Communications shared in this way must entirely pertain to official Government business.
7.6.7.2 Such communications may not include publicity for, or any other business pertaining to, any political party or candidate for election, or any particular outcome for a specific referendum.
7.6.7.3 Such communications may only be forwarded no fewer than thirty days apart, and not in the period between a Dissolution of the Cosa and the Certification Deadline for the subsequent General Election.

I'm wondering why these are separate?  It's not necessarily bad, but it seems like if we're going to have three categories, we might want to think broader.  Probably not a ton of people want La C'hronica but don't want other government announcements.

I wonder if there's a possibility of instead having a Social list for the forwarding of announcements by Talossan organizations?  Any given organization could be limited to two announcements per term or something like that.  I think it would be great to have stuff like TCAT eligible to send out announcements to let people know it's starting, since there might be some cycling fans out there who just never noticed it before.

I'd like to invite @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be to cosponsor this -- or even take over the primary sponsorship, if he'd prefer.  My objections to one part of the whereas section of his bill are addressed here, but otherwise it's his idea and text.

Whereas, Talossa is a nation founded on principles whose citizens are committed to equality under the rule of law, and it's better to swear allegiance to our constitution and country, rather than the government,

THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that Title E, Section 9 of El Lexhatx, which currently reads:

Quote9. The following text shall be known as The Oath of Talossan Citizenship:
From this day forward, I pledge my loyalty, allegiance, and fidelity to the Kingdom of Talossa and to His Majesty's government. I solemnly affirm that I will support and uphold the Organic Law of the Kingdom of Talossa, defend the realm against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, faithfully observe its laws, respect the rights and freedoms of all my fellow citizens, fulfill all my duties and obligations as a citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa, and humbly appreciate the benefits granted unto me by my King, most especially when those benefits take the form of Talossan currency.

The way the proposed process is written is fairly sloppy, and I don't think it would work as intended.

This prospective has  not received a petition within sixty days of their eligibility.  In accordance with Lexh.E.4, their application process is hereby terminated. @Minister of Immigration, please take notice.

I also want to be :-)(And I have submitted too!)

Seneschal, was there ever an announcement of the PA's party election results? Forgive me if I missed it but I was curious.

Apparently not.

Lots of applicants too waiting for assistants. Hopefully we'll get these new volunteers assigned ASAP.
