Details
Submitted by[?]: Deus Ex Machina Party
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: May 2441
Description[?]:
| Due to the spread of American football throughout the world, we believe that the sports market has dried up in that regard. Citizens can get all the American football they want from nearly any nation's network, and it is an overplayed and not particularly entertaining sport. To promote the originality and economy of our nation, I propose that TRON Light Cycle Racing become the new official sport and pastime. Due to the extreme competitive nature of this sport, I expect spectator attendance to skyrocket in the coming months. This should provide a massive boost to our economy due to food sales, ticket sales, taxes, etc... |

| Message | We must protest! TRON was a pioneering film in the field of computer graphics, and was a direct inspiration of modern computer animation companies such as Pixar. Anyone who cares about the development of technology considers TRON to be a highly influential film. Although, in the spirit of frankness, it must be admitted that the characters were weak and the plot predictable. |
