| Message | I condemn the Republican Party's proposal in nearly all forms. Most of these proposals infringe on rights whether this is - Workers rights: "Only closely related trade unions can walk out on a sympathy strike in support of other striking worker" Property Rights:"The government may seize private property for vital government works" And Right of People to not be forced to see things they don't want: "There are no laws with regards to public nudity, it is allowed" and "There are no laws regarding obscene public acts." And these are just a SMALL part of these ridiculous proposals. I'll be honest, shame on you for even considering them. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
