Description[?]:
| Congress, I request that, by matter of a simple majority vote, this Congress overturns Kiles Liles Congressional Immunity under current Baltusian Law: "Members of the legislature are exempted from any civil or criminal liability for their speech or actions, but this immunity can be overruled by a vote in the nation's legislative body."

| Message | Further lies from an individual that will spout the most preposterous and bizarre of notions. His allegations are false, cannot be proven and our alleged link with the Mafia which allegedly left the RAC blackmailed has been confirmed as false by the RAC as false themselves! I don't want to silence anyone, I think that you, as an elected representative should not be abusing your power in this way and that is to be dealt by the Judiciary. Horrific, slanderous lies which I urge all parties to condemn. Matthew Stewart QC Attorney for Forward! |
