New Attorney General Introduced; Baltusia First dissolved
February 26th, 4482
Image
Image

Johnston, D.D.: Baltusia has a new Attorney General and his name is J.P. Murray. That name may sound familiar as he is the son of current UDP Chairman, Rep. Joe Murray, Sr., and until his appointment to the Attorney General's office was a U.S. Representative for Westbrook. Prior to being elected to the House, J.P. Murray worked in the State Attorney General's office in Westbrook after graduating from Castle Rock University's Adams School of Law. His appointment marks the first time under a Republican government that a bi-partisan cabinet has been proposed.

Attorney General Murray had his work cut out for him as his first full day as Attorney General was spent briefing the press regarding the recent development in the Electoral Fraud investigation by the FIB.

Transcript from Attorney General J.P. Murray's Press Conference Regarding FIB Investigation into Electoral Fraud
A.G. Murray: Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for being here today. I'm going to cut right to the chase here. The FIB has concluded their investigation into electoral fraud committed during the 4480 election. Their investigation found that wide spread electoral fraud had been committed by several senior level members of the Baltusia First Association. After finding said evidence the FIB made several arrest of those responsible and the FEC immediately shut down Baltusia First as a political party in our nation. Also uncovered in the investigation was that these same members of Baltusia First also actively committed electoral fraud in 4476 in favor of Sage Kinney of the former PLCA. It is unclear whether they were actively trying to help Miss Kinney or simply trying to create a cover for their plans of wide spread electoral fraud in 4480.
-
Marshall Taylor (LEX News): Attorney General Murray, with these findings are you saying the PLCA did not commit electoral fraud?
-
A.G. Murray: That is correct. Despite the non-sense and tomfoolery spouted off to the media by Miss Kinney, These findings completely clear the PLCA of any wrongdoing. However, they did benefit from the crimes committed by the Baltusia First.
-
Taylor (LEX News): Will the PLCA be reprimanded?
-
A.G. Murray: That would be unnecessary as all of their members have resigned from Congress, so take that as you will.

Feminist "Riots" all over Santiago: Women marched to manifest discontent on Anti Abortion bill*
May 18th, 4482
Image
Image

Ciudad Juárez, Santiago: The National Congress pushed through one of its oldest bills to the floor. The "Protection of the unborn act of January 4472" is not only really outdated in a legislative way, but also on a social way. The bill, proposed by the PLCA, and pushed through a vote on April of last year, is clearly anti-woman and anti-choice. Our current legislation on abortion really showed how mature and advanced the debate had evolved in our country.
Not anymore, the Republicans smashed the dream of equality between Baltusians who have a vagina, and those who don't. But they couldn't do it all by theirselves, the now extinct PLCA was one of the main supporters of this legislation.

"Old fashioned Communists, servers of the Patriarchy, I'm glad they all resigned" said Vanessa Donalds, main speaker of the Feminist Voice association. "It should be ILLEGAL that the votes from old members of our congress still count on the final decision. They have resigned, why are we still counting their voice? I'm not surprised though, of course this is allowed on the S#%& place that is Baltusia!" - she said.

All factions of the Republican Party support this Bill, while the entirety of the United Democratic Party is against it.

Sarah-Rafaelle Darklight annonce the Pro-life communist alliance will become the Pro-life liberal Alliance.

Following the resignation of the members of the PLCA And the discontent of multiple feminist with the PLCA anti-abortion bill. One of their leader announced the rebranding of the party. the party would be known as the pro-life liberal alliance.

We made that decision, because we believe the word communist only lead to confusion, and to misunderstanding. Also, it is totally fake that we presented our bill because we respect the Patriarchy, We believe women and men are equal. And that our parties should take steps to ensure women are not longer treated as sexuals objects.

And we are not extinct, We are still here, we simply refused to participate in a (bi-partisan) legislation that does not given a single post to 2 left-wing parties with more seats then the moderates. Unlike other parties, The PLLA always give a place to women in politics. We don't regret pushing the Protection of the unborn act of January 4472, the PLLA will never accept abortion. We believe in freedom of choice, and we showed that.

House Minority Leader dismisses Vice President Edwards calls for UDP resignations
August 18th, 4483
Image
Image


Johnston, D.D.: Shortly after the uproar caused when Democratic Moderate Rep. Jason McCarthy proposed a religion ban, House Minority Leader and Chairman of the United Democratic, Rep. Joe Murray, Sr. defended the bill stating "...while this bill surprised me just as much as everyone else but it is important to our democracy that every voice is heard and that is simply what Representative McCarthy was doing."

Among the critics of the bill were some United Democratic House members and Vice President Dashaud Edwards who called the bill "deplorable" and demanded that Attorney General J.P. Murray and Secretary of the Interior Sam Gresham step down for their association with the Moderate Caucus.

House Minority Leader and Chairman of the UDP, Rep. Joe Murray, Sr. addressing the press amid Religion Ban and Vice President Edwards
Marshall Taylor (LEX News): Rep. Murray, how did a bill like this get presented?
-
Rep. Murray: Well just like every bill is presented in congress Marshall, I expect better questions out of you.
-
Taylor (LEX News): Let me re-phrase, how do YOU let a bill like this get presented?
-
Rep. Murray: We live in a democracy... Rep. McCarthy, while presenting the bill was ill-advised and presented without my knowledge, it is important that the bill is heard. Like I said we live in a democracy where we want everyone's voice to be heard and Rep. McCarthy's constituents had asked for this. Immediately after the bill was presented I was outraged just like everyone else but after meeting Rep. McCarthy and he produced the thousands of letters he had received from his constituents asking for him to craft a bill of this nature I wasn't going to reprimand him from doing what he was elected to do.
-
Taylor (LEX News): How do you respond to the Vice President who attacked your party, caucus and demanded that Attorney General Murray and Secretary Gresham step down?
-
Rep. Murray: Obviously this bill goes against everything the Vice President believes in, it is not a threat on our democracy and If I am being truly honest, I believe Rep. McCarthy knew this measure would not pass because it would not have Republican or popular support and that's what made it that much easier for him to present it. The Moderate Caucus is not about restricting religious freedom, I think if you look at our voting records we have been more for individual rights than most of the other caucuses in the country. This bill wasn't about any Moderate wanting to restrict religious freedom, this bill doesn't represent any particular stance taken by the Moderate caucus, this bill is simply the will of Rep. McCarthy's constituents and what they want, so for the Vice President to call for the resignation of two cabinet members, who are very well qualified and have done a very good job in the short time they have been there, is a little off base.
-
Taylor (LEX News): How do you think the President feels about this bill and Vice President Edwards calls for the Democrats to be removed from the cabinet?
-
Rep. Murray: I am not even going to pretend like I know how President Pickens feels on this issue but President Pickens and I have developed a pretty good working relationship over the past couple years. That being said, I don't know how the President is going to react but I do hope he understands that this bill was never about religious freedom and was simply, again, Rep. McCarthy fulfilling his duty to his constituents. It had nothing to do with the Attorney General, Secretary Gresham, Secretary Wells or Secretary Gallegos.

September 4483

Hosian Democrats walk out of Cabinet in protest at Moderates' support for anti-religion bill

Baltusia's cross-party coalition looks in jeopardy tonight, as the 3 Hosian Democrat Cabinet Ministers resigned in protest at the Moderates' support for an extreme Religion Ban Act which would completely ban the practice of any religion.

Unless an alternative coalition can be negotiated, it now looks likely there will either be an early election, or the government will have to try to stagger on with a minority in Congress.


Anti-occult bill targets Minerva Fortune's fortune-telling business

The Hosian Democrats are spearheading a bill through Congress which, if passed, would decimate Minerva Fortune's growing fortune-telling bill. Fortune's critics are becoming increasingly concerned about the growth in interest in the occult over recent years, and Hosian Democrats leader Dashaud Edwards has described these practices as "extremely harmful on spiritual, psychological and moral levels".


Powell provokes outrage in "fair trials" debate

Bradley Powell, the outspoken backbench Hosian Democrat Congressman who caused controversy earlier with his claims about the Indralan national flag being a representation of Satanail, has again provoked an uproar, this time during a Congressional committee discussing World Congress proposals to promote fair trials across Terra.

Powell began his speech blandly enough, saying he thought the proposals were "basically a good idea, and I support them". He then dipped his toes in hot water by commenting on Ibrahim El Salefi's religion:

I've heard El Salefi is an Ahmadi? Is he? I don't know for sure, I don't think he talks about his religion much. But I've got to tell you, Ahmadism is a dangerous, power-hungry religion, and the Ahmadis are trying to take over all of the top political positions across Terra.


After some angry ripostes from his fellow legislators, Powell then backtracked somewhat, saying "I mainly agree with El-Salefi - I think he is a good man, and he's taking a more activist approach than his predecessors, which I think he needs to and which I think is right" and also insisting "Not all Ahmadis are bad, it is just their religion which is bad".

However, what stunned his listeners even more was when he went on to suggest "in order to be fair, trials need to take account of potential supernatural elements". When pressed to explain what he meant, he said:

Well, you know when someone says "Satanail made me do it" or "God told me to do it?"...when that happens, I think there should be a proper investigation, carried out by a jury of holy men, theological experts who know what they are dealing with and can get to the bottom of what is actually going on".


Later in the day, he repeated his claims to journalists, and also suggested "exorcists should be allowed into prisons and mental institutions", claiming "I'm convinced 95% of these people could be rehabilitated, if we can tackle the root causes of the problem - and more often than not, that means demonic interference".

The Hosian Democrats have released an official statement condemning Powell's comments and insisting "these remarks do not represent us as an organisation".

Secretary Gresham resigns, secures UDP Presidential nomination for '84
November 5, 4483
Image
Image

Johnston, D.D.: Secretary of the Interior, Sam Gresham, tendered his resignation to President Charles Pickens today. Secretary Gresham was not resigning due to pressure from Republicans over the Religion Ban proposed by rogue Moderate Democrat Rep. Jason McCarthy but instead resigned to focus on his campaign to take the job of his now former boss.

Gresham nearly defeated President Pickens in 4480 after taking a commanding lead during the 1st round of the Presidential Election but Gresham would falter during the run-off as President Pickens received a crucial endorsement from the former Baltusia First Association. Gresham will now look to capitalize on the positive work the Moderate Caucus and the UDP has accomplished this cycle, as well as his own successes during his short tenure as Secretary of the Interior and hope that all of the successes create a wave of support to oust President Pickens from the Blue House and break the stronghold that Republicans have held on congress over the past 12 years.

Minerva Fortuna say She will have to close her business soon

The Bill : Prohibition of Occult Acts, has secured a strong majority in the congress, would make fortune telling illegal. For Minerva Fortuna, This mean she will have to close her business, despite it being very successful

I am very worried, despite the fact I am able to help 10 persons each day, I will have to close my business, in order to be conform with the law. I am very worried. did Baltusia became a Hosian Hierarchy where a stupid book will decide what is right and what is wrong. I really don't know what will I do, I will have to find a new Job, and this can be quite hard when you lack experience or qualifications.
