| Message | We would support this Bill, if it were re-submitted with a caveat that a second station was provided for the Emissary to...communicate....with her people, in a frank and uncensored way. |
| Date | 15:03:03, November 11, 2007 CET | From | Kapitalist-Arbeitsfamilien Partei | To | Debating the Freedom of the Press Act #1 |
| Message | Immeressence, this bill DOES do that!!! The Emissary is part of the Executive Branch of GOVERNMENT while the Convocation is of the Legislative Branch. This bill establishes a national media for the GOVERNMENT to communicate to the people PLUS the ability for private citizens to establish their own media voices in competition. |

| Message | The operative phrasing in the Immeressen, Inc statement, was the word 'uncensored'. At risk of invoking the Montoya Principle on you, "I do not think it means what you think it means". |

| Message | I believe that the additional station could be run for peanuts. Anybody want a peanut? |

| Message | The DWP is allergic to peanuts and considers this statement offensive. |
