Bill: Make Our Country More Unique Act
Details

Description[?]:
| I remember when this country was known as the Telamon Commonwealth and had Cantons instead of states.

| Message | Efforts to change constitutional titles and names serve only to distract the public away from the need to overthrow the capitalist system. We are ambivalent about all this. Albert Brocklehurst (General Secretary of the Telamonese Communist Party) |

| Message | Onward Telamon, not the Commonwealth! We are known fighters against anything "Commonwealth". It will reduce our country's power, grant Migadon a greater level of independence! It is known how Telamon was when it was a Commonwealth, how national minorities were segregated! Down with the Commonwealth! Down with the Commonwealth! Tomislav Crnobrnja Chairman of the RRP's Parliament Club |

| Message | The TNP would only be in favour of reform towards a Monarchy, we do not want to see a Commonwealth but a United Kingdom of Telamon. Margaret Jones TNP Leader. |

| Message | Again with the same thing Mr Woodson. I thought you were a civilized man. I now change my opinion. Tomislav Crnobrnja RRP |
| Date | 02:12:22, September 11, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Make Our Country More Unique Act |
| Message | You accusations of incivility are ungrounded, Mr. Crnobrnja. Please explain what was remotely uncivil about my comment. I did not name call, I did not speak profanely, in fact I did not even attack any member of this Parliament. If simply disagreeing with you is grounds for you to accuse me of being less than civil, then I would suggest you have a twisted definition of the word. Daunte Woodson Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
