Bill: The Birth of the Garduri Individualist Militia
Details
Submitted by[?]: The Gaduri Individualist Militia
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2278
Description[?]:
| After working for months under the oppressive eye of the current fascist government, we, the Garduri Individualist Militia, have stepped forward publically to announce our intentions and goals. The GIM is an organisation of armed citizens opposed to fascism and communism. We work to protect the inherent liberties of the individual from the State, and intend to bring down, democratically or militarily, the current totalitarian oligarchy the Gaduri people have mistakenly given power. People will vote away their rights, after all. If we are illegalised by the regime and it's directors, then we will just move underground and cause trouble of a different sort. We cannot allow the current oppressive government to remain in power, no matter what the cost. The citizens of Gaduridos will rise up in order to protect their individual rights, be it today or tomorrow, and this State can only push them so far. As of now we are small, but we will grow - and soon the State will fear it's people, as it should. |
