You complain about Bill 3, yet I do not see you urging people to vote "Yes" for Bill 1.
At the moment the only way for Bahamian woman who has a child is born outside The Bahamas, to get that child automatic Bahamian citizenship, is to have the child out of wedlock.
If she is married then we deny the child automatic citizenship and punish the mother for having a child in wedlock.
You are right. We fail to see that a good, GOOD,3 Phase Electrician or Master Plumber can earn well over $100,00.00 a year. That is more than most lawyers and accountants.
You are right we do need a good school and Polytechnic. We both know that there are many young Bahamians who are very capable and just need the incentive and opportunity.
The first three have nothing to do with sissys. They affect children and the family.
There are many families where the children are of the same father and mother who, at the time of their birth are married. The only difference is where the mother delivered the child.
If the child was born in The Bahamas then it is Bahamain, if it was born in, say New York, then it is a foreigner, even if the child returns at six weeks.'
So you have two children (say two brothers) who both grow up here but one brother is s foreigner.

Many don't write BGCSE's at all. These are our lost society. I agree that their attitude stinks.
Yet, we must figure out how to engage them and change their focus. I don't know how we do that, but it is such a waste of human recourses.

But the families will continue to suffer injustice. Especially the children.
Not to mention the rest of the civilized world will look down on our outdated and anti-women law.

There are four(4) separate Bills.
The first three have nothing to do with sissys. They affect children and the family.
There are many families where the children are of the same father and mother who, at the time of their birth are married. The only difference is where the mother delivered the child.

That is wrong so vote YES for Bill one.
