Description[?]:
| The Moderate Voice of Reason Party would like to invite our fellow colleagues in the field public service to join us in making a strong stance for a better Homeland. Now, after a period of instability and rocky uncertainty, where it seemed at times our very survival hung in the balance, we've gallantly made our way through the other side. We, the voices of our people, have through these times of great peril worked hard for what we know in our hearts to be best solutions to the many arduous challenges that we've faced and still face each and every day. This is a bill of celebration of that hard work. For though we can now surely say that we've established the security lacking in the previous era, there is still work to be done. Now we move on to bigger things, ensuring that our long term future can be looked upon with hope and wonder, joy and inspiration by our children and their children, and the many generations to come. Military strength is what keeps us safe today, Environmental Protection is what will shield our tomorrow. And we owe it to ourselves and our great Homeland, in which we can see the Creator's wonders every day, to work together, across party lines to maintain it's magnificence in the time yet to come. |
