| Date | 09:46:55, July 05, 2015 CET | From | Movement for Percyism | To | Debating the Religious Freedom of Lodamun Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We as Percyists believe that religion should be tolerated in Lodamun, yet we do believe that they should get a formal approval from the government. They should be checked if the Religion -that applies for recognition- would not call for violence nor anarchy within our country or worldwide. There are many sects in this world that should be kept out of Lodamun. This government will only invite them in by their lack of control over religion. Kathy Percy Chairwoman MfP |

It will come from disenchantment, cynicism and despair caused by the realization that the New World Order means we are all to be managed and not represented." - Tony Benn |
