before we discuss anything further i think we should be clear that this bill will not take effect until 2017 so that someone else can be blamed for it

the purge is good for business. specifically, i run a combination funeral home and flower shop with branches across several states. a vote for this bill is a vote for the economy.

the purge is an abominable affront to this country's good christian morals. being able to murder people freely? what's next, marrying your cousins? wait, that would be allowed in this? i would like to change my vote to 'aye.'

Uhh I would just like to point out that nobody in congress actually wrote this bill, and uhh... its actually just a hollywood script that has been mistaken for one.

in all fairness, it was really long, and i was tired last weekend.

far be it from me to speak out of turn but wouldn't it be logical that making it illegal to kill us during the purge wouldn't matter during the purge, when everything is legal

I realize Nate Silver said there was an 80% chance I'm getting stabbed, but no one in my inner circle says I'm getting stabbed so I think his statistics are skewed and Purge Day will be fine for a jog.

This would disproportionally reward larger districts, possibly cutting out the smaller suppliers such as...all the ones in my district who may or may not have funded my campaign

government contracts imply a contractual obligation to the government, which is unconstitutional and worse than theft and murder

i would like to take a moment to voice my disappointment over the gutting of the original Purge Month bill by the opposition. We were ready to compromise and accept a purge Week, but I guess this administration can never meet us halfway, can it?

i move that we sue the president

no, wait, better idea. we enact this bill, and then, when purge day comes around, we repeal it and enact purge month without his signature.
