| Message | We don't feel the rich need to compensated for legal fees, given that they are able to afford the best advice as is. This would put an unnecessary financial burden on the state. |
| Date | 04:09:32, August 16, 2007 CET | From | Grand Order of Organized Native Sodality | To | Debating the Legal Equalization Act |
| Message | The fact that one man can buy better legal aid than another is precisely why we proposed this bill. |

| Message | We are in total support of this bill. Justice should not be something anybody can buy, lawyers should be chosen by lottery to prevent those who have money from protecting themselves from the due course of justice. |
