Message | Gerrard Winstanley, Shadow Prime Minister for the opposition CA, writes: "We feel this is an ill-thought out and oddly assembled collection of legislative proposals, and will be voting against such cheap politicking. We are also concerned that some of these proposals would undermine our cherished rights and legal traditions - including our national stance of neutrality towards private issues such as crossdressing & adultery." |

Message | You prevent our people from representing ourselves, then you scoff at us for being unaccustomed to the subtleties of proposing legislature? Perhaps next you can burn our houses down, salt our fields, and shoot our cattle, then have a good long laugh at how incompetent we are as farmers? Yours gracefully, Mr. Krsyijkai Jeztri, Clan-Chief of Jeztri Founder, President, and Treasurer of the United Northern Union Political Union Great Unifier and Protector of the Jelbek Race |
