| Date | not recorded | From | People's Party | To | Debating the Definition of Marriage |
| Message | This will weaken the moral backbone of the nation. With this law in effect, people will be able to avoid state laws by having their marriage centrally registered. Instea let States set their own policies on marriage. |

| Message | The current law is already centally run though, this does not affect that |
| Date | not recorded | From | People's Party | To | Debating the Definition of Marriage |
| Message | The current law seems to change the law to allow all consenting adults in the nation to marry. This is in opposition to the principle of States rights. |
| Date | not recorded | From | National Centrist Party | To | Debating the Definition of Marriage |
| Message | The proposal doesn't take into account the individual counties, and should be voted for on the basis of - in your case - the lesser of two evils. That said, you should immediately make a counter-proposal offering the decision to the individual counties. |
