| Message | Now, this is totally unacceptable and Socialie Anarhisti will make a demonstrations nationwide to object this. We believe far more people than those who voted for us are totally against this legislation. This information will be sent to our troops worldwide so that those soldiers whose families do not own land will notice and will decide how much effort should they add to their warfare for country who betrayed them. I believe that will be a big loss for our war potential. We call for peaceful civil disobedience from town people, from soldiers and from other interest groups in case these Articles are approved. |

| Message | We believe all should be allowed citizenship, but landowners and aristocrats be 1st class citizens and have more rights. |

| Message | We agree with the Christian Soldiers - we want everyone to have the right to citizenship, but we would be willing to allow land-owners more rights than citizens who don't own land. Perhaps suffrage should only be allowed to those who own land, and therefore have more of a vested interest in the politics of Trigunia? Or perhaps land-owners votes could count for more than citizens who do not own land - for example, a non-land owning citizen's vote could be worth half of a land-owners vote. We like the spirit of article 1, but cannot accept it in its current form. We will be willing to negotiate further on the issue of land-owners rights, however. |
