| Message | Mr. Speaker, For too long our children have been corrupted by religion. There should be only one "religion", and that is the government. Children should worship the government and how powerful the government is. Only the government can lead to success. The people should work for the government. Their lives should be fulfilled through service to the government. Only through government can happiness be achieved. As a philosopher named Graham Linkon said, "government of the fascists, by the fascists, for the people." Anton Hachtel MP (NSVWP) Leader of the Opposition |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Let us hope that great government will fix the uncertainty that shrouds the minds of the Lib-Lib and Republican politicians.

| Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
