| Message | Mr Speaker, The RP simply disagrees with Article one under basic business practice and, the rest under freedom of speech. We hope not offended the Eco-Socalists with these statements, the RP always believes in pushing for Rutinian content, however we would prefer it see it done by voluntary means over forcing creators too. |
