Details
Submitted by[?]: Free Lunch Party
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: June 2563
Description[?]:
| It's a well known fact, a free mind is a dangerous mind. With so many free thinkers in this fair country, why take the chance of risking an uprising? Why let anarchists anti-Darnussian propaganda be flung about on our radios and televisions? It's obvious that the government must take action. Instead of this slander that has drug our citizens through the muck, we give the people of this great land something in which to take faith in. TV stations will have pro-Darnussian messages and morals, and the people will see their leaders in their finest moments on a daily basis. By implementing these minor changes to the media, we can insure that the Darnussia of tomorrow will be a great one. |
