| Message | We disagree completely. The Protectorate Party has sat on the sidelines time and time again when our nation face 400+ deaths due to religious violence and 11 of our own party members were slain in a terrorist attack. Who knows how many more would die if these safeguards are not in place? 1) If a group is a risk to safety, it needs to be dispersed or we risk innocent lives. 2) Currently our police force is ill equipped. It is clear the military is spearheading the safety of the Federation. 3) At the very least, we must keep all options, including a call to service, if it is deemed necessary. 4) The Justice Department should have the power to do such. Essentially it is a search warrant for data. |

| Random quote: "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
