__**Bill Title :**__ Kill No More

**__Sponsors :__** Nik DeMatteis, New York , Moderate Erin Rosenlieb, North Carolina , Moderate

__**Purpose :**__ The purpose of our bill is to stop the death penalty nation wide. The death penalty has been around for a while but now needs to be stopped. It may seem like a good way to stop someone from killing another human being, but it is unconstitutional. The government should not be killing people for breaking the law, that’s what we have prisons for. People can be in prison their whole life, but we should never take one’s life for their wrong actions. This will stop families from losing loved ones.
