NSG Senate Coffee Shop: We don't serve decaf

[Free Republics]

:rofl:





Wait, you're serious?

Yes. The new government of Calaverde needs to fix the mistakes of the past, not conserve them and the Right to Self-Defense Restoration Act is the first step in my campaign to make sure we do exactly that.

And I owe the Rifle Association of Calaverde for all of the money they gave me towards my re-election campaign.

[Heraklea-]

Well, at least you're honest about your reasons, even if you are writing in super fine point.

I'd like to sponsor but I think it'd be better to require vaccination upon beginning school, rather than turning 12.

Keep in mind that according to CDC reccomendations, HPV shouldn't be vaccinated against until nine years of age and 11-12 is the official reccomendation. Tdap is also recommended around 11-12 years and shouldn't be given before age 10.

I would definitely support a requirement that children have up-to-date vaccinations upon entering school, but having all vaccinations that would be mandated under this bill completed by that time is not really a good idea.

I'll sponsor, Geil.

This isn't fucking Texas where you're a commie if you don't suck Jesus dick and worship guns. If you think supporting people's right to not be shot is leftist then you shouldn't be in the FDP.
