Details
Submitted by[?]: Kapitalist-Arbeitsfamilien Partei
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 2470
Description[?]:
The "Common Sense Criminal Justice & Civil Liberties Act" has been REVISED and condensed to find consensus: (1) Likatonia [the PEOPLE in context] is not and does not desire an oppressive POLICE STATE. Rather, local governments should police their own communities; (2) We don't believe it is necessary for police officers--even local---to carry machine guns in the street b/c it gives the illusion that "Big Brother" is watching the people. We are a Constitutional Republic & Representative Democracy; |

With small, limited government, it doesn't much matter who controls it, because it can't do you much harm." - Harry Browne |
