Details
Submitted by[?]: Citizens for Moral Unity
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2438
Description[?]:
| Children are our nation's greatest asset, and we have a marked interest in ensuring that they grow up strong and healthy, given every opportunity to prosper. Low-income families or families that have fallen on hard times require assistance, and it is our moral duty to provide it. Think not of this as money squandered - think of it as an investment in a future generation. If we do not provide for these children as they develop, the price our society pays in crime and remedial education will be signifigantly greater. |

| Message | We agree with this measure in principle, but take it one step further. We believe that all children should be raised by the state, to groom them for their life in the service of our glorious nation. However, we believe this is an important first step. |
