| Message | Madam Speaker, why do these fascist parties continue to draft these irrational and discriminatory laws against the faithful of Hutori? Are they so against the people of this nation having the basic right to spiritual peace? Do they fear that submitting to authority other than their own would undermine them? God is great, and greater than all of us, the HNP and their godless allies included. |

| Message | Madam Speaker, this bill is all well and good, but obviously until the Nationalist Alliance, or (U) as they style themselves, manage to form a government, I cannot imagine that there will be single prosecution under the proposed law. |
