Bill: Revenge Most Befitting
Details
Submitted by[?]: Kébé Front
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2674
Description[?]:
| The Trade Federation betrayed us. The New World Order has betrayed us. The Holy Imperial Alliance has betrayed us. Today we shall get our revenge. We have promised each other that we would never fall under NWO control. I propose that we keep this promise. Hundreds of millions of Badarans have died. Most of the remaining are disgruntled and have no will to fight. But us select few. We who dared oppose the evil forces of the world plead to you, approve this bill and let us honor our final words: "Liberty or Death." -Jacob Vardah |

| Message | We vote yes here and we depart. If this bill passes we trust that whatever government forms shall do what is right. An Al'Badara under control of anybody besides Badarans does not deserve to exist. Oblivion before annexation. |
| Date | 05:20:42, November 26, 2008 CET | From |  Christian Royalist Party (IJ) | To | Debating the Revenge Most Befitting |
| Message | The Jeltarian Empire can only do so much, we can't fight against the might of the NWO for very long. Now, if you had joined the Trade Federation we would have been mandated to defend you and there would have been peace. |
