Bill: Broadcasting Morality Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Whig Party
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: June 4270
Description[?]:
| It is time we adopt morally acceptable standards for broadcasters to abide by. The violence and decadent vulgarity of our television and other media have reached a tipping point. The youth are having sex earlier than previous generations, they lack respect for tradition, culture, and their elders. This has all been encouraged through a degradation of our national moral standards. We ask the Peoples Assembly to reject this trend and place our footing back on a righteous path. |

| Random quote: "Civil disobedience. . . is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." - Howard Zinn |
