Voting deadline: November 2088
Description[?]:
| At present the government has a discriminatory policy with regard to its employment practice. We do not allow the best person to be employed if they do not meet somew other, irrelevant criteria. This practice is one that sends out all of the wrong messages to our nation. It says: Our government does not believe that the minority groups are the equals of the majority Our government does not wish to treat all men as ends in themselves, we prefer to treat some as statistical counters. Our government is not concerned about employing the best people available, but prefers to play politics with peoples lives. We find this abhorrent. There is a basic human principle that all men are equal before the law, in all forms of law. Thus we request that this government makes a stand against all discriminatory and derrogatory practices. |

| Message | (If typos are pointed out I will correct them. When they are pointed out and not corrected. people have room to complain. Typos occur, we all make them, but not correcting them when they are indicated is lazy) |
