What would such a bill say? Do you have some sort of zoning regulation or building code in mind?

Once such legislation/regulations pass, what would be next? What if, a few years from now, a majority of Americans start calling for laws that forbid statutes and monuments that pay tribute to the CSA and those who fought for it?

(FWIW, in my experience, a good way to derail a project is to push the issue of parking requirements.)
