| Date | 03:36:56, March 01, 2019 CET | From | Dark Templar (LL) | To | Debating the The Way Forward Act |
| Message | The Templar can only support a change regarding recreational drugs. We believe the people should be reaping all the benefits of the currently unregulated drug trade. We could support a change of Eminent Domain but not under the current oppressive government systems that only seeks to control members of the working class in favor of the interests of the Monarchy and the wealthy. |
| Date | 03:42:03, March 01, 2019 CET | From | Remetch Beesave Xadtu | To | Debating the The Way Forward Act |
| Message | Barrett Chandler, Jr Floor Leader, Remetch Beesave Xadtu Mr President, I rise in support of the bill in question. We of the Nationalist Party have seen the wayward course charted over the years prior to our parties return to the majority. We have seen the havoc wreaked by those villains who held the majority in this illustrious Gathering; their folly; their outright attempts to dismantle this great nation at it's very seams, and we say no more; NO MORE! The time has come, members of the Gathering, to chart a new course. A course that will take our great nation, our people into the future that our forefathers worked tirelessly to provide each and every son and daughter of blessed Hawu Mumenhes. To that end, we offer this bill; this way forward and urge all members of this sacred body to support it's passage. I yield, |
