Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Stand up, all victims of oppression, For the tyrants fear your might! Don't cling so hard to your possessions, For you have nothing if you have no rights! Let racist ignorance be ended, For respect makes the empires fall! Freedom is merely privilege extended, Unless enjoyed by one and all. So come brothers and sisters, For the struggle carries on. The Internationale, Unites the world in song. So comrades, come rally, For this is the time and place! The international ideal, Unites the human race. Let no one build walls to divide us, Walls of hatred nor walls of stone. Come greet the dawn and stand beside us, We'll live together or we'll die alone. In our world poisoned by exploitation, Those who have taken, now they must give! And end the vanity of nations, We've but one Earth on which to live. So come brothers and sisters, For the struggle carries on. The Internationale, Unites the world in song. So comrades, come rally, For this is the time and place! The international ideal, Unites the human race.

| Date | 12:45:07, June 28, 2007 CET | From | HaLeumit Tikvah | To | Debating the Frenchization |
| Message | Ok, but the French-speaking people make up only a very small minority in our nation, much smaller than the Hebrew, Pontesian and Majatran populations, so we can't support this. |
| Date | 18:03:37, June 28, 2007 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Frenchization |
| Message | That's even a more perfect point instead of all these ethnic groupes that start competing for national prominence by having their language spoken in the national government we should have a language for official documents in a language that not only sounds beautiful, but does not create a reason for rift in our land. |
| Date | 18:37:13, June 28, 2007 CET | From | HaLeumit Tikvah | To | Debating the Frenchization |
| Message | Except the more likely outcome will be a backlash against our french community- maybe not outright persecution, but still resentment. |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
