Bill: Moral Righteousness Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Whig Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes the withdrawal from a treaty. It will require half of the legislature to vote in favor[?]. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 4208
Description[?]:
| The blight that continues to plague the economies and peoples of Terra cannot be saved with just economic policies. The catastrophe we all now face is a by-product of years of miscegenation and inter-racial mingling. We have allowed this great Commonwealth to become a place where once proud Rutanians mix and marry with every lesser race on the face of Terra. We have allowed the lesser races to dilute our moral standards and over time we have grown accustomed to the growing immorality of the nation. This trend must be reversed, a Great Society is now closer than ever to our reach, if we work hard it can be achieved. -Elmer Clark Whig Party Chairman Former President |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, With this insidious bill, can the Whig Party still declare that they are not racist, homophobic and sexist? |
| Date | 22:21:21, May 08, 2017 CET | From | Whig Party | To | Debating the Moral Righteousness Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, In response to my colleague from the PPR I would like to say that the Whig Party is the Party of traditional White Rutanians. We shall continue to stand for traditional values, we shall continue to stand for the often misunderstood White Rutanians. We shall not let the PPR and their judgmental liberal values intimidate us. We will continue to fight against miscegenation, sodomy, and any moral depravity. We shall continue to march for segregation until the day that the Great Society is finally realized -Elmer Clark Former President Whig Party Chairman |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Mr. Clark did not answer my question, but thats not the point. If the Whigs really wanted to achieve a great society, they might consider including everyone in the current society. |
| Date | 10:01:33, May 09, 2017 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Moral Righteousness Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We reject the rhetoric used by the Whig Party and the LP is not amused with this bill. We do however have a question for the Whig Party, how exactly do they think that lesser races have contributed to the current economic crisis? Because the white-supremacists (if I am allowed to say so) seem to blame the 'race-mixing' and decay of traditional values. The Libertarian Party however blames the economic policy of the past administration and perhaps the Whig Party should do the same. Miriam Mason, Deputy Leader LP |
