Message | Really? What kind of policy was this to begin with? We need to get rid of this law, and that is my first thing I do as I enter Congress. We must push for true equality and civil rights across the country, and I ask that this be passed. Under the old law, the government granted citizenship based on gender, religion, and race. That means either all men, or all women, cannot become citizens of Lodamun. That is unacceptable, and that is government discriminatory policy, which needs to be changed right now. I ask that we pass a law granting citizenship to all people born in Lodamun. All of those people born in Lodamun, no matter what race, gender, or religion, have a right to citizenship here, and I ask that they all become citizens of Lodamun. This will greatly improve their lives, and give us a more represenative Congress when we have more citizens to vote. I ask that we pass this immediately, and that we truly show our colours here.

Message | This is True and the Labour Party is Sympathetic, however we believe in Citizenship gained by passing a qualifying exam. This way our Great Nation isnt Polluted, but will be voting for the bill as it stands as a better offer than the one in place |
