| Message | Article 1 - We don't have immigrants that could benefit from this article so it is a mute point. Article 2, 3, 4 - The dismantlement of the Gestapo is a grave threat to our national security and will result in the weakening our our internal security to threats. We can not support any bill that weakens the Gestapo Article 5 - We have no problem with this Article Article 6 - The Death Penalty remains the greatest deterrent to crimes against the state. This must be allowed to remain in order to keep the internal securirty of the DDR at its peaks. Moves for comprimise - Allow the Gestapo the power to arrest any citizen under any circumstance, and for the death penalty to be still enforced in someway, and we will support the Bill. |
