Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: March 2586
Description[?]:
| We believe that food standards provisions are important. They exist to keep people safe, and to make sure that the food we eat is of good quality. Good, high-quality food is the result of a thriving agricultural industry. We want the people to connect to their local foods, and to provide them with the best possible care. Therefore, it is vital that local and provincial governments are empowered to make effective laws for the distribution & sale of food without interference from the central government of our proud new republic. |

| Random quote: "Civil disobedience. . . is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." - Howard Zinn |
