Democrats should name all their laws after the Bible. Eye of the Needle bill: wealth tax and just demagogue that we need to pass this to save American souls. Mark 1:40 bill: universal healthcare

Vote YES on Joshua 6:25 and Ezekiel 23:20!

I've been saying this for a long time. I genuinely think this would yield better results.
