32RZ20 - The Apathy Is Not A Crime Amendment

Clarked in the Third Clark (January 2004) of the 32nd Ziu
Clark Entry ID: 407
Bill ID: 807

WHEREAS , Talossa\'s citizenship laws make no final distinction between people who have actively worked to undermine Talossa and who have either been thrown out because of it, or quit because of it, and people who have lost their citizenship for clerical reasons due to the "Three Strikes Law," which was designed solely as a book-keeping measure to relieve the Secretary of State of the responsibility of keeping track of disappeared citizens, and

WHEREAS , the Kingdom of Talossa is a nation which seeks to retain its own citizens, call home its lost sheep, and recover the world-wide diaspora of Talossans, and

WHEREAS , some former Talossans may feel intimidated or offended by citizenship laws which treat them as second-class people or which force them to submit to some sort of test or bureaucratic requirements to justify exactly "why" they have not been "active enough,"

THEREFORE, the Ziu hereby authorizes a public referendum at the earliest legal opportunity to rewrite Article XVII, Section 11 of the Organic Law to read as follows:

Article XVII, Section 11: A person who has lost his citizenship by protracted non-voting may reassert his citizenship at any time, through a verified public announcement to the Secretary of State. A person who has lost his citizenship for any other reason, whether by deliberate renunciation or as punishment for a crime, shall be considered a Cestour for all purposes and may reapply for citizenship through the normal naturalization process.
