ODERVELD - LEUCHTFEUER 

NDZP DISCUSSES  CAMPAIGN FOCUS

Neukirchstadt, July 16, 5623: After a  party leadership meeting at the Neue Dundorfische Zentrumspartei (NDZP) Headquarters in Neukirchstadt on the upcoming campaign for the Bundestag, ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER asked Rudolf Kaltenbrunner, the interim NDZP treasurer, what would be the party focus for the upcoming elections and he replied:
 

In this election NDZP is running as the party of religious freedom. That was our origin and we think that is what we should emphasize.  The leadership strongly believes we need to be very clear about what that means and does not mean. It means citizens must be allowed to worship in churches of their own choosing in their own way. It does not mean people must belong to the Aurorian Patriarchal Church (APC) or any other church or worship at all.
 
It means organized churches may operate schools and that prayer including teacher led prayer must be allowed in those schools.  It does not mean non religious schools private or public must have prayer or allow public prayer at all.
 
It means churches  and church members must be allowed to advocate their views on personal conduct both in terms of abstaining from injurious activity and engaging in virtuous enterprises.  It does not mean any citizen has any legal duty enforced by the State or otherwise to adhere to conduct advocated by churches or church members.
 
That is what we will campaign on. We will of course respond to inquiries about other aspects of our viewpoint which are internationalist and centrist. Think it is fair to say we lean toward small government but not when it means industries can operate so as to poison our air and water or expose its workers to hazardous conditions or when it means individuals should be able to convert their property into public nuisances or arm themselves with sufficient firepower to sink a battleship.
