Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Workers' Party and CTUL List

Voting deadline: February 2477
Description[?]:
| This bill frees the People from religious oppression in the dictation of how to dress, and proposes to outlaw the wearing of religious clothing and symbols in public buildings, i.e. governmental buildings, schools, and hospitals (this applies to health workers only).

| Message | This bill is the SO-CALLED "choice" of a "Lesser of 2 evils," so to speak. The current law is a Theocracy while the proposed is FORCED secularism (which is a religion as well). Therefore, we will ABSTAIN since it prohibits the FREE EXERCISE of religious garb by democratically-elected public officials. In other words, if Immeressen's Prophet wishes to wear a cloth around his head, that is is his RIGHT so as long as the representatives of the DWP or myself is FORCED to wear that garb. |

| Message | We presume the CWFP mean that we are *not* forced to wear the aforementioned religious garment? |

| Message | Since our God is actually among us, how is it even logical to pretend there is no need for religious garb? If people want to pretend there is no Immeressen, than can do it in the privacy of their own homes, where no one else has to see it. |
