| Message | We would support this bill if it weren't for the horrendous article one |

| Message | What in requiring a man to defend the freedom that Solentia represents is horrendous? What in asking a man to put his country and his loved ones before himself is horrendous? If Solentia's sons can not be counted upon to defend her in times of need, what then have those sons done to deserve the freedom that our nation offers them? This bill is of the utmost importance to upholding the ideals and principles of our glorious nation! David Canton, RCS National Committee Secretary of Defense |

| Message | "As a pacifist Party, the CMP opposes this act. We find that the Status Quo nicely balances technological advancement without damaging the peaceful and somewhat isolationist nature of Solentian foreign affairs." -Shadow Minister for Defence: Heikki Stoltenberg |
| Date | 17:10:36, December 31, 2008 CET | From | Present-Time Imperialist Party | To | Debating the RCS Senate Resolution 2 - Canton National Defense Initiative |
| Message | Mr. (Ms?) Stoltenberg, Pacifism as a foreign policy has a habit of dying a quick death when aggressors are knocking at the door. Are you so sure of the stability of all the world's leaders that you would lay Solentian lives on the line in order to maintain your 'pacifism,' even if all this bill proposes is the sovereign right of Solentia to protect herself from those not so righteous as the CMP?
