| Message | This is an absurd attack on civil liberties. Who are we to make decisions about the children of our citizens? The DCD believes that any citizen, man woman or child, should be allowed to react to the national anthem as they please, and should have to learn it only if they so please. Those are simply rights of free expression and personal choice, which the DCD is an ardent supporter of. Michael Garrish Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
| Date | 23:11:43, August 29, 2009 CET | From | Rightful Radical Party | To | Debating the National Anthem Act |
| Message | "Land of hope and glory..." -- respect must be payed. If you don't, why are you in Telamon then? Stefan Barna RRP |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
