Mr. Reynolds, while you might believe we are oppressive, and that my mesage to warn you is actually a threat, you shouldn't begin insulting the navy. If you are a man that follows the law, that knows the distinction between good and bad, then you'd understand we cannot allow you to disrupt civilian trade lanes to wreck chaos. You have the right to protest all you want, as long as you do not disturb the order we have built, sometime at the cost of our own men.
If needs is to, unfortunately, disable your people, we will do so with no harm to the men and women onboard the vessels, unless attempts at harming our soldiers, in which case, they will be treated as enemies of Liberty.
Thank you,
Gen. Isabelle Kaitlynn
PS: Might we inquire on when your people intend to make this manifestation? If you prefer to hold this a secret, then it is your's freedom to do so, as long as you stay within your limit.
From: Colonel James Wooley, Commandant 522nd "Redneck" Fleet Marine Force
Citizens of liberty, you have the right to peaceful protest.
The 522nd will nto stand in your way unless lives are threatened.
Signed,
James Wooley

Now that's a big list. I can see this doing a huge favour for us.
Secondly we need a storage vessel in conneticut to avoid falling foul of these stupid laws. We will store our weapons and shields here, to prove we have no hostile intentions.
From storing, we move back into orbit around Fort Bush, and from there we head via trade lanes to manhattan where we begin our protest until either the point is made irrevocably or we get broken up.
Times, anytime after 16:00 GMT as for day that's what we need to decide. Hit me with ideas people.

Do remember that you are a Naval officer. If you are seen protesting and will refuse to stop when ordered, you shall face Court Martial. You are not a civilian.
EDIT: OOC: If you're in your "Viking" char, that is. (If I see ANY LN ships protesting I'm going to order them down. Refuse = Court Martial. I don't care about your ID as long as you're using a Naval vessel.)
If you want to protest I suggest creating a civilian char.

TRANSMISSION COMMENCING......
Simon...
I for one, am infuriated over these new laws. The idea of charging 3-5 Million credits for possession of weapons for sale is rediculous. What happened to free enterprise? And, by the way, is any of this money being allocated to the poor on Planet Denver, or the schools for better education for our children on Planet Manhattan? Or is it merely lining the pockets of the leaders of our "honorable" law forces? Where is this money being allocated to? While funds need to be procured to develop new weapons, fuel ships, etc., the needy are still receiving nothing. In my opinion, this tax is nothing more than legitimate piracy. Is anyone in the Liberty Law Enforcement field aware of the time and danger involved in the acquisition of these weapons? Do you have any idea how much hull repairs cost these days?
Now I'm not a weapons dealer, just a hard-working trader but as far as I'm concerned, if this new tax stays, the the next thing on the books is probably going to be a trade tax. "5,000 credits to bring that Luxury food to Manhattan, Trader." Wouldn't that be something?
I am eager to take part in this peaceful demonstration Simon, you can count on me being there. If at all possible, some advance notice would be great, as I have a full schedule and usually am not in Liberty. You can also contact Lane Security 003 via personal comm if you see him to give me updates on the time and date.
And another thing, Liberty Law Forces can be darn sure that Lane Security will NOT be policing this demonstration. The Law's got the big bucks now, I think we'll let them handle what they're getting paid to do.
Thank you for your time Simon in organizing this event. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me anytime via PM comm and I'll be glad to assist in any way possible.
-Trader Joe out.

You ask me why Im weary, why I cant speak to you.
You blame me for my silence, say Its time I changed and grew.
But the war's still going on dear, and theres no end that I know...
And I cant say if were ever...
I cant say if were ever gonna be free.
Liberty isnt becoming police state... Liberty already is police state. We are with you! Our train is ready again for peaceful demonstration. We will do same thing as last time but not with marihuana but with medicaments because many Libertyans have headache from situation in Liberty space.
Liberty have democratic goverment with president!!!!! We dont need obey admirals, military law is for soldiers not for civilians!
Although we are a Rheinland Company we do buisness everywhere, we helped clean up Liberty, and we do not want to see these draconian laws to stand.
Free trade is the blood of all, and to stop its flow is to invite death.
Liberty has gone to far, laws for laws sake, just to allow jumped up pilots to feel powerful when they order traders around, it can not be allowed to continue.
Therefore The ALG will send Captain Stormblade in a heavy tanker to lend support to your worthy cause, just tell us when and he will be there, his orders will be to aid you in what ever way he can.
Freedom to trade must be protected, and we applaud you for this endeavour, the Liberty Authorities must be made to listen. Before traders take matters into their own hands!

This only confirms what we have been telling you all along.
The Liberty Regime is a polic state, its despots are intent on reducing the proletariat of the systems to the levels of poverty that are prevalent throughout the border worlds.
What choice do they leave us now?
My many comrades in the prison ships of Texas rejoice at this fatal move by the Stalinist Alliance, the Leninist Police Incorporated, and the Liberty Security Fascists. You can only push people so far, pigs.
My Xeno colleagues intend to show solidarity with the protestors, and will be making our presence felt at manhattan over the coming weeks.
The time is ripe. Revolution.
People of all planets, unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains.

The LCOC saw this licensing system coming. Whether the demonstrations will affect trade is yet to be seen.
However, for greater government interference, there is a corollary: greater government presence. I'm sure once the public accounts committeee in Manhattan examines the expenditure over the coming months, we'll see greater spending on overtime for pilots securing the routes to NY in the surrounding systems - California, Texas and Colorado.
A special investigative committee to monitor the flow of public accounts in light of this new licensing system is being established. Nominations are now being processed.
Nominations should be forwarded in triplicate with standard geneprinting id details and a full financial disclosure to
