Bill: Fair Civil Liberties Act.2937
Details
Submitted by[?]: People's Party
Status[?]: passed
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: May 2938
Description[?]:
Regarding "there is no explicit government policy on", we feel that there doesn't need to be and that these cases do not need policies on because they are so acceptable. Why should, for example, interracial sex be "legal" when non-interacial has "no explicit government policy on", the current "legal" status' is a negative attitude, treating them differently. We live in a modern era, we accept that it is legal. |

Random quote: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, from those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - Dwight D. Eisenhower |
