| Message | Mr. Speaker, I support this bill on the merits; however, the authoritarian one-party state of Gaduridos has threatened the Princely Republic over this matter in clear violation of our treaties and international law. To enact these reforms at this time would show weakness, undermine our sovereignty, and invite future demands by other dictatorial regimes. The Gaduri dog must first be brought to heel, only when free from foreign sabre rattling should this body act on this measure. Ursula Peters, URP Leader |
