| Message | "What about those who commit the crime by accident or are guilty of innocence of the crime they were judged from? They are the national citizens! Unstable government is inherently unstable and I would not trust the DNA information for this government. There are populist's and new whighs but there aren't any libertarians, capitalists or social darwinist's. How can you trust a government, that your not part of, with this kind of power?" -Patrick Rawls, party chairman |
