How about a retailer's conscience bill... which would allow...

5. What's wrong with squirrel food?
I have a squirrel feeder in my back yard. I don't have a bird feeder.

Everyone else in the neighborhood has a bird feeder, so I figure they're covered. But my cats just love the squirrel feeder. They sit on the window stool and watch the squirrels for hours.

2. Imagine a 7/11 clerk refusing to sell cigarettes late at night because
it is against their religious beliefs to allow a person to harm themselves that way.

8. Oooh, how about a bookstore where Regnery titles are on the shelves
but when people bring them to the register, the clerk says, "I'm sorry, it's our policy not to let you read propaganda."

9. Or a retailer's conscience bill
that would allow people to refuse to sell anything to bigoted fundamentalists?
