Bill: Government Limitation Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Republican People's Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2805
Description[?]:
| Once again my party has won the majority seats in the congress and the Presidency. This bill will reduce the powers of government. It will eliminate 100 seats in the senate and put one man in charge of the state and government. Once we allow government to invade are life's it will never stop. We must act now. This will limit the changes that can be made and allow politicians more time to execute essential legislation. Next election we will reduce the senate once more. |

| Message | I am not going to be a dictator nor do I belive in any such government that allows it. I'm trying to make sure the rights of the people are protected. You want madness and chaos to exist and I will not allow it. Your riots will be suppressed, however you may peacefully protest. I am not a dictator nor will I allow any such activity I believe in democracy with laws that keep the best interest of society at heart. Unlike you I understand that to have successful business you must laws to protect the business and the people so that everything operates with perfect harmony. I agree that deregulation is the key to successful business and I am willing to hear your points and idea's but I will not allow or condone any activity that degrades our system of law and order. |

| Message | This bill is clearly for you own interest- you want to rule as sole President and limit other party activities by decreasing their rights. So this will be your dictatorship as long you win in elections. And 150 seats is needed so you can grab the most seats because you have 150 seats so you want an proper majority. And because you are conservative and we all know what conservatives had done to the real world we will not accept such desired justified tyranny. |
