| Message | We cannot support this bill. Legal representation should be available to ensure a fair trial. As for Article I, we fully support the re-introduction of the death penalty, but not because of religious doctrine. |

| Message | "Oderint dum metuant" "I scorn their hatred, if they do but fear me" - Caligula, mad Roman emperor. The afore-mentioned quote clearly explains our position. I thought the CDA was easily the most religious party in Hutori, but apparently the United forces of decay is populated by religious fanatics. We prefer a humane execution of the rule of law above this barbaric, medieval proposal. |
