Description[?]:
| OOC: My internet went down so I never got to vote on this bill pre-election http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=509301 So here it is again for your delectation... IC: Mr Speaker, Members of Congress, I stand before you again to present a bill on behalf of my many supporters as well as those in Baltusia who are true patriots and believe in true Hosian values. As Congress has decided to turn its back on my proposal to clamp down on immoral and lurid activity I must ask this house to consider a new bill. I have already established that the root cause of this problem is other people coming to our fine nation with their own ways and beliefs and finding a home here. Now, this is ok if these people will integrate into our society and conform to our moral and ethical code. But when our own politicians allow them to act how they want and do what they want, however offensive, in the so-called interests of free speech then something has gone fundamentally wrong. I cannot simply turn the other way when these people are acting out sexually lurid activities on the streets, it is distressing, it is intimidating and we won't stand for it any longer – no sir! That is why, through Article 1 of this bill, I ask the government to look at tightening our citizenship laws. By all means allow foreign tourists, visitors, workers and the like - and even those refugees who are allowed under our laws, but let us also help preserve our national identity by making nationality exclusive to the people of Baltusia. In one fell swoop we could end the cultural friction that is being created by droves of foreign people arriving here and staying permanently after being granted nationality. Being Baltusian is something to be proud of; right now I am not proud of the way these people are acting on the streets or how the government and other parties are allowing them the freedom to act in this immoral way. The second article of this bill is the ongoing issue with the Patriotic Security League. This has still not been resolved and the PSL still hangs in limbo. It is despicable that such a nationally-hailed organisation, which would do much to ensure law is preserved on our streets, is denied existence. Now more than ever we need people who believe strongly in our national values to help preserve what it means to be Baltusian. The PSL is the embodiment of everything this country stands for and we should deny their legitimacy no longer. I encourage parties to take these articles seriously. Any attempts to dismiss them as 'racist' or 'militaristic' are also dismissing the growing number of people who support me, vote for the National Darvosian agenda and put Baltusia first!

| Message | Mr President, There will be repercussions to this bill not being backed. Not least our supporters are losing faith in our moderate wing and my faction is now the largest in our party. I urge you to change your mind and legitimise the PSL, whose numbers stood faithfully alongside our parties in fighting back the forces of the far left.
