2.   No employer may fire or otherwise carry out any reprisal against any employee who chooses not to work on an Election Day in the Pacific.

I think that you may want to rephrase that some.

Literally, it would mean taking off that one day would make someone fire-proof.

I'd suggest using "because."

Ah, Alcon, you've discovered my covert plan.   I'll change it.

Forcing a diet on a population? That seems a bit extreme/authoritarian... Also a vegitarian diet can be difficult to maintain on a healthy level (getting all your needed proteins and AA's), I really don't see how it would cost that much more to give them meat and we would probably have prison riots break out throughout the region.

Stupid question:

How/when is the Pacific legislature elected?

I suppose forcing them in prisons is a bit too extreme for you? Forcing them to live in a cell a bit to extreme? Not allowing child rapists to walk through schools---that's extreme, too, I guess.

And difficult to maintain? Prison officials will of course make sure they get all of their protein and what not---it is only difficult to maintain if you're a retard.

Every Pacific citizen is a legislator. Check out the Wiki and read the Second Pacific Constitution for more information

Prison Diet Bill: NAY

I would like to add that the disrespect for individual rights in the first bill is astounding even if we are talking about prison imates, it still doesn't change the fact that they are HUMAN. I shutter to think of what would happen to this great region if more authoritarian bills such as this were to be enacted.

For the other bill I just don't like anything that resembles a cult. (except for the Rocky Horror Picture show of course)

The prisons already pick and choose what food their inmates eat. How is this anymore authoritarian than putting them in prison in the first place? And how is this inhuman!?

I never realized how illogical you were.

And naming something after someone is resembles a cult? Does our state name resemble a cult? Or most of our county names? Or Seattle?

[Хahar 🤔]

Is this a joke?

How does forcing vegetarianism on inmates help the prisons do their job, which is to protect society from criminals?

Very surprised that a supposedly legitimate Senate candidate would vote for this nanny statist trash!

The purpose isn't to help "prisons do their job," read the bill again to see what the real purpose is.

And this is no more "nanny statist" than putting criminals in prison in the first place.
