SENATE BILL: Demilitarization Act of 2014 (Redraft Law'd)

[TNF]

Didn't we already vote this down last session?

No, this is an entirely new bill.

The purpose of this act is to trim spending in the armed forces and fully end the requirement of draft registration.

I fail to see how preventing military recruitment in high schools and colleges, and eliminating the waste that is the military propaganda (I'm sorry, "advertising") budget is going to make our military "weaker."

[TNF]

FYI, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, equal protection, etc all would be violated if we passed this bill.

Nonsense. The military does not have the automatic right to go into schools and try and convince people to join up anymore than any other organization does.

Well, even with alcohol and tobacco companies, the companies are still allowed to advertise. They just cannot target underaged people and they must include warnings on their ads. They are not outright banned from having their voices heard.

I am okay with clause 2 though..

Nah, all drug advertising is actually banned in Atlasia.

Even tobacco and alcohol? Interesting.

Friendly.

I'm ready for a final vote, if everyone else is.

Amendment is friendly.

Senators have 24 hours to object.


In some cases the television advertisements have failed. In fact, I recall a discussion once in my marketing class about how The Army of One campaign was an abysmal failure.

Great. Let's eliminate the potential for failure entirely.

Amendment is friendly.

[TNF]

Aye

[TNF]

AYE

[TNF]

The redraft is friendly, and I would like to proceed to a vote for it. I would have liked to eliminate funding for recruitment altogether, but this is something that I can accept, and something that I hope we can revisit at some point.

[TNF]

Aye
