Bill: Individual Freedom for the Rutanian People Act of 2460
Details
Submitted by[?]: Capitalist Working Families
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 2461
Description[?]:
This law simply affirms the Rutanian people's INALIENABLE right to the freedom of religion or NOT to have one if that is the reasonable assumption of the individual. It defeats the point of a democratic society to have the State FORCE the people to worship in the "Church of the Robots." Thank you for your full support. |
