| Message | We have no qualms with Article 1, but we cannot support this rest of this bill, particularly Articles 3 and 4. We are totally against any federal government involvement in the private sector. |

| Message | Only articles 3 and 4 we support but altogether if was put forward we would not vote. Reason being that in article 2 - alchohol being consumed anywhere is a big safe and healthy warning. Drunkards in the street, train station, constructions anywhere, casualties amoungst citizens will go on the increase. Article 1, the current law is fine how it is Prime Minister Abraham James Zoratatt |

| Message | I believe that a totally free capitalist state will crumble due to its own corruption, a mix of government support, only when needed can check the corruption. also the businesses and private sector in this way can check the government in its actions. I will get rid of article 2 because after i looked at it again i feel it does fit in with the other proposals, and i will get rid of article 4 but do believe you will see this proposal again. I am keeping 1 and 3 to push for more personal rights to the individual |
| Date | 09:15:40, February 24, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Heritage Party | To | Debating the Necessary Reform Bill (1st Part) |
| Message | This legislation aims to needlessly remove local government authority and, therefore, concentrate power into the hands of the federal government, without constitutional provision or any inherent reason as to why the federal government would be more capable or responsible in dealing with these issues. |
