Bill: important changes
Details
Submitted by[?]: Friendly Communist's of Likatonia
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: July 2114
Description[?]:
| these are a few proposals that my party thinks are important, and need to be changed for the benifit for the country. 1) by making alcohol less accessable it will lower the rate of binge drinking in our country. it will also mean less drink drivers and less motoring acciedents. this could save lives. 2) by using fishing quotas fishermen will still have money to live on and there will be a stable population of fish as there would be no way of over fishing a lake or ocean. 3) by only giving aid for poor countrys after a disaster it will help the country become self relient instead of being relient on aid and hence forth not getting out of debt. 4) which is a bigger injustice a smoker not being able to smoke in public or a non-smoker contracting cancer from second hand smoke? if you believe the same as me then you will vote yes. |

| Message | The AAP COULD support Article 2, but is not willing to endorse any of the other 3 articles in order to do so. The AAP is all about rational extensions of freedom, not cutting freedoms back. We also endorse a policy of philanthropy, and can see no good reason to retire our good works overseas. |
