| Message | We understand that the duties of a republic are, most importantly, to pass legislation. We also understand that in our grand Republic, our parties are given power according to the wishes of the people. However, a wise man once said, "What is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right." Some may say it is not politically courteous to launch repeal bills, but you know? To hell with the politics, this is about the future! This is about our children being able to grow up knowing freedom. It's about freedom from the tyranny of the FHE. The FHE has become the embodiment of fascism and repression in Solentia. With the political power they wield, they have managed to convince Solentia that they are doing the right thing. They've created a climate of fear, and launched a crusade against our freedom! They didn't prepare for our defense. Fight back, fight back, fight back! Fight for Solentia's freedoms! Senator Brandon Helmkamp SDLP Vice Chancellor |
