My name is Lou Randy, and I am broadcasting to you live from hotbed of activity in the Southern fringes of the Federation. I am speaking to you today because I want to point out growing problems in our little corner of the Milky Way. Federation members need to wake up and see what is going on in the galaxy. We are living in a supposed democracy which is being led by {\em none} of its members. Decisions are being made that may alter or threaten whole planets and cultures, without their knowledge or consent. I am calling out to all those who care about liberty and justice --- because if you don't do something about your futures, nobody else will. The only answer to tyranny is action. %-*-*-*- \vspace{3mm} Who is this oppressor of freedom, you ask? I could tell you it is Star Fleet, with its dictatorial controls. I could tell you it is the Federation council, with its maneuverings and intrigue. But the real enemy of freedom is {\em you}. That's right. It was Federation members who created Star Fleet and the Federation Council. Those members are responsible for controlling what they made, and keeping track of it. %-*-*-*- \vspace{3mm} What do we do about this? The Supreme Assembly has the power to alter Star Fleet's charter. They can put additional restrictions upon it, subject it to review, or even dissolve it. Some or all of these may be neccessary if we are to make this place safe for our families and our children. %-*-*-*- \vspace{3mm} I am broadcasting to you through subspace, but only a select few can here this. Please pass on this message, if not in whole then at least in content. %-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- \end{document}
