Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Our spiritual needs have gone unheeded for too long, it is time to address the requirements of humanity which extend beyond the physical. |

| Message | Almost every party has been guilty of considering the material assets of our people to the detriment of their spiritual well-being. If our people are to have rich and meaningful lives they need not just bread, but roses too. ((More details on the Wiki when I have a chance to rewrite it)) |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
