Kelly Brogan and Prime Minister Clay Raymond Announce Orange Party's Intentions
Mrs. Brogan earlier today spoke of the Duties of Man, God, and morality in Rutanian politics. Her wish for the Orange Party is to return to its Protestant roots and to help all men to fulfill their purpose in life, as she says, their Sacred Duty. This is an excerpt from her speech to Orange Party supporters:
"The Orange Party has historically been a libertarian-leaning liberal party with conservative moral values. The party has tried to not use the outlet of government to promote their Protestant, morally conservative values throughout the nation. Under Audley Cooper, the party saw these values become secondary in an attempt to unite the country against anarchist threats. President Cooper was a devout man, of that there can be no doubt, but he did not believe the party should push its moral and religious views upon the people of Rutania.
"A new era is coming upon Rutania politics, however. The freedoms of the people have been established, and protected. The government exists solely for this purpose, to protect and defend the liberty of the people, and the Constitution that guarantees those rights. That is what Audley Cooper spent his entire political career trying to do. We need not to forget our purpose on Terra, however, our Sacred Duty--to make better all Humanity. That Duty lies in God and His divine will. We were founded as a Protestant party because we believe in salvation for all, and that through God's will we can make Terra a better place.
"The threat to our duty, our purpose, our freedom, at this moment comes from the radical Nova Terra. This organization pushes aside God's and puts material gain above all else. Material gain is not our purpose in life. Material gain and rights are a means to an end, they enable us to help our fellow man, to free him from his bonds and help him to take up his Duty as well."
Prime Minister Clay Raymond also expressed his desire to not only continue the coalition with the Republican Elitist Party, but to make the bonds between the parties stronger:
"We have so much in common, it only makes since that we continue working together. Our goal is for a freer, better Rutania--a Rutania that can help all mankind, a beacon of liberty, of freedom. Our goal is to make Terra a better place to live. The CLCR is the most effective coalition Rutania has seen in a long time, we work well together, we represent the interests of the people as best we can."
He had this to say of the Nova Terra issue:
"Obviously we want to avoid any kind of a conflict. That may be wishful thinking, but that's what we're trying to do. Diplomacy is always Rutania's first course of action. President Lord Klausenburg and Defense Minister Cooper have been working overtime to make sure that Rutania is a safe place to live. We want to curtail the threat Nova Terra poses, but we also don't want to impose upon the freedoms of the Rutanian people."
"Keep cool and you will command everyone."
