| Message | Surprisingly, we find this to be an appealing piece of legislation. However, we believe that more ideal laws relating to these issues are currently passing through the legislature, so we will vote against this bill. Daunte Woodson Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
| Date | 02:32:06, July 08, 2008 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Ecology - Deregulation! |
| Message | We would support a move for a more unified and centralized government, instead of a weak and convoluted web of federalist systems. We need a more unified and powerful government. |

| Message | We have already seen the horrid tolerance level that the usual Telamonian parties have against extremism. Our people have a right to be heard, and not be shunned by the government. We embrace National Socialism, and we will fight to the death to have the power to be heard in our lives. We will be taking legal action against the Democratic Capitalist Delegation. - Matt Hogan Chairman of the National Socialist Worker's Union |

| Message | Legal action? This country has a little concept which will protect any member of this party telling you to shut up, it's called freedom of speech. Just because you want it eradicated doesn't mean it's done away with yet. Just like your people have a right to be heard, members of this party have a right to tell you to put a sock in it. Daunte Woodson Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
