Bill: Free Speech
Details
Submitted by[?]: Jewish Capitalist 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: August 2588
Description[?]:
| We are disappointed. G-d gave us free will, and three parties of this government refuse to acknowledge this fact. We would like to give these parties another chance. If G-d had made us slaves, He would never have given humans free will. Outlawing free speech is usurping G-d's will. We therefore do not request support for this bill. We demand it. |

| Message | Also to be noted, we remember the Ma'avak party claiming free speech was a liberal lie. The old histories also say of how the Democrat Party in the old United States of America also disliked free speech and attempted to silence it. Free speech is not a liberal ideal, but a conservative one. You are either a liberal or a slaver, if you believe in denying free speech. We demand that the government pass this bill into law. |

| Message | OOC: If we have Judaism in this game, we have Earth. Deal with it. I talk about Earth nations in the "old histories" as a way of connecting real world stuff to the game. If you aren't going to accept it, then we might as well change all of our party names to something non-Jewish and stop running a Jewish nation. |

| Message | OOC: Not really, religion exist here, that's the way it's always been. Look on the map of Terra though, look at the histories on the wiki, check the forum, you see any US anywhere? No, because it doens't exist. |
