| Message | Disagree with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 20. I can give you 19. |
| Date | 17:26:58, August 05, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Voice of Reason Party | To | Debating the A New Dawn |
| Message | Clearly this bill is nothing but a thinly veiled power grab by the ruling party to insure that the voices of the many are drowned out by the voices of the few. This bill gives the government overreaching powers that transgresses into the lives of the common man and woman. Furthermore, the increased term limits are simply unacceptable! The shrinking of the legislative assembly is simply unacceptable! Everything in this bill save prop. 11 & prop. 19 is most unwise The Moderate Voice of Reason Party fears for the future of the nation if this bill is passed. |
| Date | 18:32:49, August 05, 2007 CET | From | HaLeumit Tikvah | To | Debating the A New Dawn |
| Message | This scaremongering talk of a power grab is nonsense. The only people being given power by this is the Jewish people, who have had it usurped by Islamic and secularist regimes. |
| Date | 19:38:49, August 05, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Voice of Reason Party | To | Debating the A New Dawn |
| Message | Seeing as we have no power to stop you, we will do the only thing we can....Vote No as a protest. Hopefully there will be other matters on which we can reach agreement in the future. |
