Bill: A Present to our Enemies
Details
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill requests an early election. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2517
Description[?]:
"We in the Ma'avak movement regard the actions of the RASP, of the PPP, of the BCC as nothing less than pure treason but for some unexplainable reason we are feeling kind and so propose this generous gift in which several key issues will be devolved to local government giving your greater power in the Mehozot you have a degree of power in. We hope you will not be so rude as to ignore this sefless act of kindness and will accept it with open arms, if you insist on hurting our feelings and so throwing it back in our faces then we will be happy to send the Lohamei Herut Kahina to encourage you to change your mind, they have proven to be very convincing and are eagerly awaiting the chance to ensure unity and stability can be once again returned to the Motherland." -- Josef Nehushtan |

Message | "My poor deluded friend, if that is what you want then you have as much chance of suceeding as all those that have gone against the Motherland before. In the words of Lavi Ben-Tzvi; "From dust they came and to dust they go, ours is the heavens, yours is the worms." We have offered you peace and you have spat in our face, this is the end of negotiations, the end of diplomacy and the end of your band of traitors. The Jewish Homeland shall prevail." -- Josef Nehushtan |
