From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Freedom of Religion Act | Message | Why not? Do you not think that the people of the Kingdom have the right and the responsibility to help those that are less well off than others? One would think that the USCRA would be interested in this bill. With your wide support, I am sure that that many would opt for the exemption. That money would still be used to the betterment of the entire nation. How could any party argue against that? |

From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Freedom of Religion Act | Message | But which is better, buying products from our own people or from foreigners? I would hope that your patriotism would be better than that. |

From | Constitutional Monarchy Party | To | Debating the Freedom of Religion Act | Message | Do not question my loyalty to this nation! I simply want to point out the benefits of free trade between our nations. Beluzian products are the envy of the modern world! Our people would always choose Beluzian products over foreign goods. Perhaps we shall vote for the withdrawal in order to show good will to our new friends of the Protectorate Party. |
