Description[?]:
| "It is the clear opinion of the leaders of the Revolutionary Socialist Party that all children deserve the right to a full, happy and healthy life, and do not deserve to have that right stripped away from them by their parents. Countless children will die from failure to be vaccinated, now and into the future. It is our job as the governing parties of this nation to unite in an effort to protect the children, and their health. Parents must not, due to their ignorance, laziness or religion, be permitted to endanger the lives of children who are too young to make an intelligent decision on their health. Make the right decision, and thank you for your time." -Daniel Vladimirovich Feterokov, in the proposition speech to the National Directory |

| Message | A loop hole was not granted for people to opt out for religious reasons. I set up a new bill that allows this. |

| Message | Well we don't think that children should suffer because of their parents' religious beliefs. When they are old enough to make intelligent decisions they can decide to opt out of vaccinations. Note that the child is not opting out of vaccination for his/her religious reasons, but the parent is opting the innocent child out of a life-saving procedure for his/her religious reasons. We are all for religious freedom, but not when it endangers the life of someone who is far too young to have made up their theological minds for themselves. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
| Random quote: "John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless. Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?" - Emma Goldman |
