| Message | Mr. Speaker, Rutania is a great country. Our culture stands out from the rest and is truly an inspiration to the world. That being said, we cannot let our pride and love for our nation make us shut out our fellow countries. A new idea may pop up in Luthori, or Dorvik, or any other nation,and we might miss it. This bill creates a restriction on the part of the nation that should be least regulated: the media. I do fear that this bill might set in motion a trend of xenophobia and close-mindedness,if it hasn't already started. And those are never good for any country. We cannot support this bill. -Viktor Eidel Party Chairman,UP |
