| Message | We offer our whole-hearted support to this integral piece of legislation. It is time to reshape Solentia back to its former state, when the country achieved its pinnacle. We applaud the Conservative Party of Solentia for their work. FIP Minority Leader Atticus Verish |

| Message | The ANF could not support this if only for the contents of article 3, which would change the current law in which a person is considered an adult. Through our research and polling of various medical and psychological institutes we have found that if we were to change this law, that instead of increasing the age we should instead reduce it to 16. |

| Message | The opinion of the ANF is appreciated on this matter. The CPS will debate on whether to drop the third article or not, and will announce it's decision in due time. Thank you for your input. James Devreau, Inner Party Leader |

| Date | 05:12:30, March 27, 2008 CET | From | Federal Republican Party | To | Debating the Solentian Government Reform Act of 2551 |
| Message | Respectfully, The elected representatives passed legislation and debated this very issue for quite awhile and worked in the spirit of bipartisanship to accomplish it. If you'd like a transcript of those debates and pieces of legislation-surely someone within your respected party can accomplish this? Nonetheless, the Federal Republican League stands behind the current and better more pertinent nomenclature convention of our government. We would be willing to consider a new name for the legislative body however, we are in a Federal Republic and hence the term 'Senate' does seem to match up very well by definition. Signed, Party Spokesman, E. 'Tipp' Wagner |

| Message | "In days long past" There ya go. 'Nuff said. As last we checked, this is today, not yesterday. Apparently your wrong because the people voted out a coalition that refuses to respect Solentia's past and traditions. Instead, they put in a coalition that would remember the past and re-implement the policies of a better, stronger, former Solentia. FIP Premier Minority Leader Atticus Verish |
| Date | 02:50:42, March 28, 2008 CET | From | Autonomist Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Solentian Government Reform Act of 2551 |
| Message | The ANF has pulled their vote in favor of this bill due to very sketchy policy changes introduced by the current supporters of this Bill. |
| Date | 02:53:16, March 28, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Solentian Government Reform Act of 2551 |
| Message | I would like to know what particular changes you are referring to? James Devreau |
| Date | 03:05:59, March 28, 2008 CET | From | Autonomist Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Solentian Government Reform Act of 2551 |
| Message | Most notably, Composite Legislation Act of 2552. If the Conservative Party, and it's allies, are truly representative of our nation they would not be so willing to act against our religious constituents. Our country has very strong religious convictions and this Act would most certainly cause rioting in the streets. |

| Message | The CLA of 2552 is an attempt by the CPS to reestablish it's stance as a strongly secular political entity. We would prefer, in the interests of bi-partisanship, that rather than destroying this bill's hope of restoring tradition and stability to Solentia absent for a century, you would merely protest the CLA of 2552 by voting nay on it alone.

| Date | 03:25:14, March 28, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Solentian Government Reform Act of 2551 |
| Message | Especially now with the endorsement of the SNRP (OOC: Thanks.), this bill and the people of Solentia need the aid of the ANF. Please be reasonable. Do not allow two bills to conflict with each other. James Devreau |
