So You Want to be an eCanadian Congressman?

So you want to be an eCanadian congressman?
Here's a brief outline of the current rules of eCanada that every congressman should know . Don’t like them? Well get into congress and change them, but in order to change them effectively you have to follow them first.
1) Sign up on the Government of Canada forums found here http://ecan.forumotion.com and check it on a regular basis in order to follow and understand government business.
2) Read and follow the rules of the Government Charter of eCanada found on the forums here http://ecan.forumotion.com/t545-the-government-charter-of-ecanada-nov-2014
3) Propose no law in game without first following the rules as outlined in the charter which reads:
3a) In-game proposals - Any member of congress wishing to put forward an in game proposal must post their reasons either on the forums or in an article in game and allow 24 hours for discussion before proceeding with the proposal in game. The only exception being pre-approved proposals such as funding transfers from an approved budget. If posted in game it is the duty of the poster to alert congress.
4. Vote "No" on any in game law proposals regardless of merit if the rule in 3a was not followed.
Why should you care about congressman making random proposals everyday without discussion besides it having next to zero chance of passing? At the beginning of our return to congress some congressman though we should NE the UK. It was proposed twice.
Mean while the government was making final preparations on a real war. Wars are not won by random button pushing, but getting yourself wiped is.
Canada was once wiped because a congressman pushed the NE button without consent. The Nation involved immediately retaliated with an NE of their own and wiped us for months.
Our eforefathers have written these rules after years of trial and error and trust me nOOB you don’t know better than they did.
Together we can make congress work again for all of us. Now go ahead and push that run button.
Yours Respectfully,
Exalted Druid
Speaker of Congress

I still think there should be something in there ensuring PP's choose active congress persons , but it's a great idea and it has my support .
/me signs pledge o7
o7, lets do this!!
Rule 5: do whatever the president says.
Spineless worthless bunch of cowards.
Do as I say, not as I do.
Actually a simple majority can overturn the presidents EO. 66% for a presidential veto.
Rule 5: President is God-King of Canada!
Big Daddy signed up for Congress this month.
As soon as I get masking I'm posting for Speaker.
If people insist on a Forum based Congress, we might as well rebuild a machine with teeth again.
I support Muglack as my better half.
Should of said "Forefathers and Muglack"
Elect me, I don't give a damn what some off site rules say
Despite what a respected player says, you do not have to recognize these arbitrary rules. There are so few active ecanadians in politics that we can't contend with contrived rules.
All that matters is that you take your congressional responsibilities seriously. I think we can all agree on that, right?

But I'm FREE!! I'm like a cloud on a breeze!
