| Message | We will not support measures that make the Republic of Telamon seem narrow-minded and stupid. We do not need to withdraw from treaties that protect the civil rights of our people. The only article of this bill I could support would be Article 6, as it pertains to national security. All other articles in this bill are blatantly disrespectful of the global community and our citizens in general. Zaphod Beeblebrox Chairman of the PCP |
