| Message | While I agree with many of these ideas, letting in Foreign missionaries with out restrictions will cause hostile governments to send in agents to set up a fifth column under the guise of religion. And we cannot approve of giving so-called "refugees" aid, as it will attract every freeloading nomad with a sad stroy to Saridan to become burdens to the taxpayers. |
| Date | 01:10:14, December 06, 2008 CET | From | National Farmer's Union of Saridan | To | Debating the Omnibus Bill |

| 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 |
