| Message | Respectfully, To our honored colleagues of the National Zeus Party-we can certainly understand your concerns about mandated national service. Though, look at the current law and tell me this isn't a step better?: Furthermore, this doesn't force them into a war, god forbid. This does not induct them within the Solentian Armed Services. In fact, with permission from the C.S.P.C. on behalf of the F.R.P. I've been allowed to announce a slight policy adjustment. This also reflects the Ministry of Defense; and I would hope the support of the U.D.P. and S.R.N.P. The F.R.P. and Minister of Defense would like to, within the near future, work on a measure to entirely remove any variant of unskilled men and women joining the S.A.S. Our military needs much reform the I, Minister of Defense Rowlins will see to this with full force. Nonetheless, unskilled soldiers lead to unsuccessful combat operations and other woes those outside the military structure. The F.R.P. asks that the esteemed N.Z.P. reconsider this minor adjustment-to our youths favor in order to facilitate our further goals of entirely eliminating involuntary servitude. . . Signed, Minister of Defense U. Conrad Rowlins |

| Date | 17:06:38, March 26, 2008 CET | From | Solentian Populist Party | To | Debating the Civil Defense Protection Act |
| Message | As stated before, you have our support. We'd prefer that no citizen be forced to join any service, but we feel more comfortable knowing that not just anyone can join the armed services. |

| Message | The Conservative Parties vote comes to a surprise to me but, it matters not at this juncture. |

| Message | The CPS will not support this bill due to the nature of Article 2. The choice given in the current law seems reasonable and logical to us. James Devreau, CPS Inner-Party Leader |
| Date | 20:03:50, March 26, 2008 CET | From | Autonomist Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Civil Defense Protection Act |
| Message | We, the ANF, agree with the CPS but are willing to overlook that change in order to strengthen our military power. |
