| Message | Mr. Speaker, The UPR cannot support a bill that allows perversion to be played on TV for all to see. There is no logical reason 3 years olds should be exposed to sex and other filth of that nature. Furthermore we must remind Solidarity of the Parliamentary rules which state they must wait 3 months before moving a bill to vote: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=324760 Michael Kisch UPR Congressional Leader |
| Date | 01:05:16, February 15, 2014 CET | From | Rutanian Labourists | To | Debating the Moral Freedoms Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, While I disagree with the legalisation of the broadcasting of all forms of sexual content on television, I feel obligated to remind the RH Michael Kisch that he is the result of "sex and other filth of that nature." The arguments of the Urban Party only get more and more hilarious every day. - Amir Socrates, Labour chairman |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The United Voice organisation must express its opposition to this proposal. We believe that the government, as the democratic expression of the people of our beloved Commonwealth, has the sincere right to establish community standards of what is and isn't acceptable behaviour within our territories. We are one nation, and it is our belief that we should be bound not only by shared borders - but also by a shared values system. Throwing out the ability of our democratically elected officials to represent the voice of Rutania is inappropriate - and we refuse to allow anarchist policies to take over. Quite simply, we stand together for something, or we fall apart. - Mal Costello Founder, United Voice Non-Voting Spokesperson to the Parliament |
