Submitted by[?]: Aurora Libertatis
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.

Description[?]:
The Society of Liberation believes in social and environmental responsibility, but this doesn't mean that we are opposed to the free market. With out us, neither the police nor the military would have been privatized, the income tax wouldn't had been eliminated, and the freedom of choice would have been severely restricted. |

Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
