| Date | 18:22:03, September 11, 2017 CET | From | Secularist, Socialist Party of Baltusia | To | Debating the Socialist Alliance Income tax proposal of August 4269 |
| Message | Members of Congress, It may have escaped the notice of the Baltusian Neo-Conservatives, but this budget does not address religion and thus is not notable for being secular. Consequently, their statement that be shall not bend to this secular tyranny, is not entirely well thought out. One might as well say that be shall not bend to this black and white tyranny, or that be shall not bend to this Luthorian (OOC: English) tyranny. While technically correct, it is not strictly relevant. Flossie Hambleton Finance Spokesperson of the Secularist, Socialist Party of Baltusia |

| Random quote: "The European Union and environmental advocacy groups use global warming hysteria to advance their own special agendas. The European Union recognizes any significant reduction in CO2 emissions by the United States will significantly reduce its economic output, thereby bringing it closer to the inferior output of European nations. Environmental advocacy groups work to stifle economic and industrial progress wherever they find it to inhibit the successful advancement of peoples in developing nations, inevitably making mankind a second class citizen of planet Earth." - Dr. Jay Lehr |
