Bill: Renewing the Death Penalty
Details
Submitted by[?]: Party for a Federal Meritocracy
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: January 2605
Description[?]:
| Supporting criminals by housing and feeding them for some period of time while they learn from others how to be better criminals upon release is an unacceptable drain on resources. We are charging our people (through taxes) to support those who simply return to preying on them when released. Dead criminals tend not to repeat their illegal conduct. |

| Message | The government should not have the right to make the ultimate choice of whether someone lives or dies. Government is much too incompetent to be trusted with something so major. |

| Message | The Government wouldn't be deciding this. Juries would. |
