Bill: Die Behandlung der Fahne
Details
Submitted by[?]: Nationalliberale Partei
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: September 2613
Description[?]:
| We agreed with the Anarchitarian sentiment about the flag, but felt it was poorly presented in their massive bill. Therefore, the Nationalliberale Partei proposes to remove all infringements on personal civil rights related to treatment of the flag. Our flag stands for freedom, and that should include the freedom of non-violent demonstration. On the other hand, we don't think our flag should be so debased as to become a corporate logo. |
Proposals

Old value:: The national flag may not be desecrated or dishonoured.

| Message | So we can drag the flag behind our cars tearing it to pieces but we can't have it as a bumbersticker? We'd prefer people profit off of it but respect it, then have the right to destroy it. |
