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.

Description[?]:
| This bill is being proposed for the advancement of religious freedom in our great nation. Currently this bill would include the that the government has no policy concerning religion but it wont let me propose that because we are under the Terra Freedom Treaty. Technically we are currently in violation of the treaty we signed because we don't have an open policy towards religion. So I will hold off on voting for this bill till the Terra Freedom Treaty can be temporarily removed to fix the error then resign it. After that has occurred we will move on to vote on this bill. In the mean time this bill is open for discussion. |
