We realize many of our colleagues will not understand or care for the historical significance of this change, but it matters to the hundreds of thousands, millions even, of Likatonians who are proud of our collective heritage and support the proposal here today. We call on all members of the Dorum to support this measure. We hereby open debate on this Act. |

| Message | OOC: "Latvian" would be out-of-character - Terra has no 'Latvia'. IC: You can't legislate ethnicity, and you can't rewind history to a bit you liked better. |

| Message | OOC: Just observing at the moment - considering a return of the 'Sturm und Drang' incarnation to Likatonian politics. I'm not trying to be OCD about it, just trying to help. :) |

| Message | While the AM RLP appreciates the intent of this bill, we feel that it could lead to a second class citizen status for those members of the population who are more recent, ethnicity diverse members of the population. Therefore, we must dissent. |

| Message | Mr. Runatjs (Speaker), Perhaps the removal of Section III, where inscriptions in both languages are allowed would effectively mix the new understanding of immigrants and the history of our great nation? |

| Message | We have updated the legislation to make a more friendly name change to accomodate new immigrants and those Likatonians not familiar with our national heritage. We will now move this legislation to a vote. |
| Date | 22:16:48, February 05, 2013 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the LVP : B001 - Holding the History to the Future Act (HHF Act) - 3434 |
| Message | We feel that the voter support for the nationalistic parties show that the statement "The People of Likatonia have clearly supported measures to re-culturize the nation. " is not yet true, therefore we must dissent. |
