| Message | Madam Speaker, with all due respect, the idiocy of the Military Party confirms their detachment of reality and the will of the people. Not only is it important we stay in contact with the ICRC, we are not a warmongering country, and the military party should stop pursuing this aggressive and futile attempts at pushing through legislation that will only worsen our country |

| Message | Madam Speaker, Our military is strong enough, and is keeping Beluzia safe superbly. This Bill is purely ideological, and calls for some dangerous measures. I draw the Senates attention to Articles 2 and 7 in particular - use of both nuclear weapons and biochemical weaponry for 'any reason'!? What an outrageous suggestion. That's to say nothing of the call to withdraw us from the Red Cross Committee. I am appalled such hideous proposals could ever be presented before the Senate. Though perhaps it's good once in a while, just so we, representing the people of Beluzia, can say loudly and resolutely: NO! Sen. Alfred Mayer Defence Spokesperson, New Liberal Party |
