| Message | We strongly support Articles 1, 3 and 5, but fervently oppose the others. We cannot support for this reason alone. If articles 1, 3 and 5 were in a legislation of their own, we would certainly support. |
| Date | 08:45:39, June 07, 2008 CET | From | East Trigunia Company | To | Debating the Say Yes to Education |
| Message | As we don't believe children should be educated in sexual matters (it may encourage underage sex), we will have to vote no. |
