Bill: Freedom in Media Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Action 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: February 3284
Description[?]:
| Current laws already restrict nudity and sexual material to hours when children do not watch television, so this intrusion of the government into television content is pointless and unnecessary. Furthermore, it should be the responsibility of the parents, and not the government, to regulate what video games children are allowed to purchase and own. Cease wasting the taxpayer's money on these social-engineering boondoggles, would you kindly. |
