Voting deadline: December 2175
Description[?]:
| Honorable Colleagues, Our party wishes to revisit its last Military Resolution. Article I. The OMP seeks to restore the decency inside the Nation's Military Force. In order to serve and protect the Likaton citizens as effective and efficient as possible we cannot tolerate any 'mutual distractions' - in the broad view in the meaning of that term. The OMP beliefs that 'sexuality' belongs to private matters/recreational, which have no place in a military system. Article II. In order to maintain the public order and dispose of those who are believed to be a disturbing factor, we ask for the creation of a militarist de-facto police force, it wil get the Likaton Citizens in contact with the military system and strengthen the interest in it. Article III. Our party believes that our beloved women are not to be placed inside a military battle situation, not only can it be 'obstructive' to the military men, the OMP also believes that it is not well-considered looking at this from a moral perspective. If women want to serve the military force, they are allowed to do that and more then welcome, but not in a battle situation. There are allot of positions/ranks in the military who have a non-battle purpose where Likaton women can easily develop their career. Regards. |

| Message | RLP cannot support any of this repressive, reactionary, and restrictive bill. |
| Date | 18:39:51, January 23, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the OMP Act of 2174 - Militarist Agenda |
| Message | The simple fact that the RLP and AMA agree on this matter, should be enough to suggest there must be SOMETHING wrong with it.... |
| Date | 19:05:41, January 23, 2006 CET | From | Edelweiss Party | To | Debating the OMP Act of 2174 - Militarist Agenda |
| Message | Eberhart Eland provokes: "It looks like the AMA just made a suggestion towards own 'political correctness'? That says allot about the arrogance of this party!" |
| Date | 19:26:18, January 23, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the OMP Act of 2174 - Militarist Agenda |
| Message | Arkham Konstantinos would like to reassure Eberhart Eland, that this is LESS about the politics of the Likaton Front, and more about the relative lack of frequency for agreement between the RLP and AMA. |
| Date | 19:32:08, January 23, 2006 CET | From | Proletariat Revolution Party | To | Debating the OMP Act of 2174 - Militarist Agenda |
| Message | We refuse to support this because it paves the way for a police state, and it is too restrictive on rights. Homosexuals are no different than anyone else and have the same capabilities and incapabilities as any citizen. Men and women may look different physically but with proper conditioning from training, they would be able to successfully serve side by side in any battle. |
| Date | 19:32:58, January 23, 2006 CET | From | Edelweiss Party | To | Debating the OMP Act of 2174 - Militarist Agenda |
| Message | Ebarhart Eland response: "Ok, that has been a wrong interpretation from my side, my apologies!" |
| Date | 19:38:02, January 23, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the OMP Act of 2174 - Militarist Agenda |
| Message | AMA entirely endorses the AMSLP position. |
