| Date | 12:47:59, February 21, 2008 CET | From | Federal Republican Party | To | Debating the Intersex People's Bill of Rights II |
| Message | To our Respected Colleagues, The Federal Republican League desires for it's position to be a matter of public record on the rights of citizens and their sexual orientations and the role of our government in rites of marriage. It is the view of our party that their remains far too many children who are in foster-care programs and or up for adoption. This is a dire situation and to discriminate against a homosexual couple whom can provide a child a loving and caring home-is immoral. The Federal Republican League by contrast finds the notion of homosexuality as immoral. It is a very unflattering notion, however the reality is we as homo-sapiens have three basic instincts as a species; provide food, shelter and to pro-create. One of these items is not being satisfied by the aforementioned groups of citizens. This nonwithstanding, the Federal Republican League simply cannot as a federalist movement vote no on ending government sanctioned discrimination. We feel this is a large compromise for our party but, removing the federal governments role from marriage and opening the door to more adoptions is a worthy enough cause. I applaud our fellow parties for their endorsements of this measure as well. Respectfully, Deputy Minister of The Federal Republican League, E. 'Tipp' Wagner |
