| Message | Here is the new cabinet proposal. I reviewed the voting records of the last term, and chose positions for people in the areas that i agreed with them. our three newest parties did not propose as many bills as the older five (understandably) and i had to judge by voting record alone. as you can see, the tourism party is the only one without a seat, because there were no major agreements between us that another member was not better qualified for. if you would like a description of why i chose who i did, please feel free to ask. |

| Message | Well, I would have liked defence, but since you guys prolly see me as a gun-trotting war-junkie, I'll go with what I got. |

| Message | yea, your vote on the nuclear disarmament act disqualified for that position, but you got science and technology because you proposed the "Legalization of peer-to-peer sharing of technology and art", so you were the best choice for that. |

| Message | the LWP proposed the "Health and Welfare" act, giving them the health and social services position, and also proposed the "Rehabilitation of Prisoners", making them a natural choice for Justice. |

| Message | the LP was the one who proposed the "nuclear disarmament act", making them a strong choice for Defense, and they also had a voting record that was very consistent with mine as far as internal affairs, winning them that position. |

| Message | I particularly liked the NDLP's "Education act" and their votes in the "education accountability act" and the "independance of schools act" were duly noted, winning them the Education ministry |

| Message | I'd like to voice my cornern about the position chosen. In order to better achieve my political agenda I'd like to request the Economic Affairs position, although I don't have any proposals to back it up. |

| Message | I'm afraid that as far as economy went, there really weren't any proposals of any kind. I'm sure that Seosavists will be perfectly capable in that position. |

| Message | If you insist on having it, we will wait for this bill to pass, and i can propose one that just switches the positions of you and seosavists. sound fair? |

| Message | I'd very much prefer that position, but supposing this bill passes, is it possible to make new cabinet proposals? |
| Date | not recorded | From | National Forwardist Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of July 2039 |
| Message | sure it is. i can even make one that only changes one or two of the positions. |

| Random quote: "The European Union and environmental advocacy groups use global warming hysteria to advance their own special agendas. The European Union recognizes any significant reduction in CO2 emissions by the United States will significantly reduce its economic output, thereby bringing it closer to the inferior output of European nations. Environmental advocacy groups work to stifle economic and industrial progress wherever they find it to inhibit the successful advancement of peoples in developing nations, inevitably making mankind a second class citizen of planet Earth." - Dr. Jay Lehr |
