| Date | 17:54:14, February 08, 2009 CET | From | Imperial Conservative Union (IA) | To | Debating the Small Government Act |
| Message | #1 will keep me from voting yes. #5 is fine the way it is, for some regulation is needed. #3, should be either regulated or left to local governments whether it should be allowed or not. |
