| Message | Oppose 1 and 2, support 3 and 4. For article 2 we will support the idea of paying for legal representation for clients who cannot afford it. As for article 1: we will never support it. |

| Message | We're flexible ourselves on option 2, but what's wrong with gated communities? |

| Message | Gated communities lead to segregation. Soon you will see the rich living in one area while the rest livei n another. You might also start seeing certain races or ethnicities living in gated communities. If you think gated communities protect you from crime then think again. Crime is everywhere, not jsut outside your walls. We should be creating BRIDGES, not WALLS! |

| Message | I agree with the CDP that gated communities have their disadvantages. However, true democracy and a more ideal society can only be achieved by the understanding of other peoples' ways. If people want to live in a gated community, they should be able to. The government should provide responsible education in improving community ties. Individuals working as a community is COMMUNISM!!! and should be avoided, but individuals working in a community is a good thing. This means that if a small gated community wishes to trade with the outside world, both parties can do it without prejudice, but acceptance of each other's ways. Please support my bill on gated communities. |

| Message | Alright, we'll just remove the gated community article and submit the rest of the bill, at least we'll get most of what we wanted that way. |

| Message | I will, however, be reintroducing a bill to prevent the payment of prisoners for work in prisons. If you commit a crime against society, you shoudl repay society. |
