Bill: To Deal With Enemies of the People
Details
Submitted by[?]: De Communistische Partij Van Vanuku
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 2676
Description[?]:
| Comrade, I am an ardent supporter of the death penalty, but I do not think every criminal warrents it. For if we killed someone for stealing a candy bar we'd be no better than CGTR1, where the evil Yermolai lives. So I propose we reserve the death penalty for enemies of the people: those who commit terrorist actions, those who attack Party leaders, those who murder citizens and those who commit crimes so dispicable it makes you sick just to think about it... |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
