| Message | The CLPC is only voting yes as a temporary measure as the current measures are too harsh but the measure to fix it are still not adequate but will suffice for now. |
| Date | 01:22:11, August 11, 2007 CET | From | HaLeumit Tikvah | To | Debating the Civil Rights Act of 2441 |
| Message | Article 1 arguably would provide a boost to our military, and if it was proposed on its own we would consider voting for it. However we believe a traditional family upbringing is best for a child, and will vote against this because of article 2. |
