| Message | Article 1 is philosophicaly sound, but in the event of natural disaster or major crisis, the assistance of the military woucl be very useful. Article 2 we are in agreement with. |

| Message | Article one is dangerous and destructive. In dangerous times, the FRP chooses to weaken the police force. We are well on our way to feeling it necessary to add the FRP to the list of impeachments. Article two is even worse. Perhaps the greatest reason for the security of our sovereign nation, is the fact that our entire adult population counts as a standing army... yet again, the FRP seems intent on betraying national security in the interests of some undeclared (and visibly treasonous?) agenda. |

| Message | We STRONGLY support Article 2; any sort of draft amounts to nothing more than GOVERNMENTAL SLAVERY!!! |

| Message | We wish the CWFP would tone down their hysteria. Calling our domestic 'civilian national service' slavery is an insult to the victims of REAL slavery. |

| Message | Drang, look up the word "Slavery" and/or "involuntary servitude" in a standard Likatonian Dictonary. If you do, you would notice that slavery is the definition of a person being FORCED to do something against his/her will. If it is at the hands of a plantation owner or private citizen, that is fascism; if it is at the hands of a Government, that is a police state. We don't care WHO is giving the orders b/c we believe in freedom from BOTH!!!! |

| Message | Actually, we don't see how it is only Fascism when at the hands of an individual. The origin of the word revolves around state control.... |

| Message | Fascism means 'unity'. It doesn't connect to slavery at all. The CWFP are... well, being the CWFP. That is their crime - it is also their punishment. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
