| Message | OOC: They're still unrelated. Articles 2 & 7 could go in their own bill. Articles 1 & 4 could go in their own bill as "Protest Laws" or something like that. Articles 5 & 6 could go in their own bill. Article 3 is unrelated to all the others. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, These proposals leave the people defenseless against the government. What if there is a coup, whether by a party, the military, or a foreign force? What if a foreign force invades and our military doesn't handle it well? In the event that people are attacked by a government, whether our own government in a case where it turns on the people, or a foreign government, we are leaving them defenseless. -- Paul Fertig, Chairman of the NRG, Deputy Opposition Leader |
