| Message | We do not support this bill. In order to protect the citizens of this nation, we must have a way to identify our enemies from our friends. We have worked too hard to protect this nation from further terrorist attacks, and this bill would only set us back even further. |

| Message | ID Cards aren't a waste of money and invasion of privacy, ID cards aims to tackle illegal workers and immigration, in which this country is still working on. Identity fraud will be reduced, help protect our civil liberties, what we are entitled to do i.e. get a job, buy alchohol - for adults. Prime Minister Abraham James Zoratatt |

| Message | We are surprised to see that so many of this nation's parties support a measure entirely symptomatic of totalitarianism. When even the law-abiding citizens of Rutania are targets of surveillance, the federal government's power has well exceeded it's proper limitations and responsibilities. By Rutania's founding document, the constitution, government is held accountable by the people - not the other way around. |
