Referendum

Katz stood in the center of the Politburo chamber, hard eyed as he looked about him.

"There are those forces outside of our own that are challenging the way the Duma, the Party, and the Politburo run the Coalition. They state that we have turned from the Revolutionary Cause, and that we have become meek."

"I state that the Reformist agenda is the more difficult path, that our goals can only be accomplished by using every political, economic and military tool at our disposal to achieve it."

"We do not answer to some Revolutionary Council, run by pirates, and manipulated by our enemies. We will not be called to account by revolutionaries that are here today, gone tomorrow operations. We do not subject our plans, and our goals to the scrutiny of Counter-Revolutionary Forces, such as the Imperialists to the North, or the Terrorists that lurk in Liberty, corrupting our path to suit their own blood thirsty agendas."

"I know our way is the right way, and I seek a mandate from the people to continue with the path we have started down. To move away from the Radical Terrorist activities of the past, and forge a more difficult path, one that will earn us the respect of the people, and not the fear of them."

"I rule through the People, you are the People, and from you must I gain my authourity."

"The Coalition is the will of the People."
