| Message | I think we can generally support the principles you are espousing...the detail may be a different matter, particularly welfare for the wealthy. |
| Date | 22:08:36, February 20, 2009 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the COARA Restoration Act |
| Message | We support these ideas in principle, but the policies that are usually enacted in correspondance have not been supportable by SPoK, for the most part. |
| Date | 00:04:24, February 21, 2009 CET | From | Agrarian Party of Kalistan | To | Debating the COARA Restoration Act |
| Message | On 1): we ask our colleagues whether it is not so that all citizens are protected, regardless of their race, sex, religious preferences, political colour, smoking habits or - yes indeed - baby-status? On 2): is it not so that discrimination in our beloved country is banned? On 3): is it not so that the Law prescribes that the government may not have such policy? |
| Date | 03:32:37, February 21, 2009 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the COARA Restoration Act |
| Message | The COARA aims at restoration of positive population growth policies. SPoK believes that family size should remain in responsible levels, as this is the only way we will be able to maintain the socialist character of our republic and ensure that our resources can be equitably and sufficiently shared across the entire country. |
| Date | 10:00:36, February 21, 2009 CET | From | Revolutionary Freedom Party -- KEG SLAM | To | Debating the COARA Restoration Act |
| Message | We feel that this will also help protect against radical fascist anti-population groups such as No More People!, as well as other ZPG and VHX groups. |
| Date | 22:17:25, February 21, 2009 CET | From | Liberal Patriots' League | To | Debating the COARA Restoration Act |
