| Date | 05:08:14, April 13, 2009 CET | From | Techno-Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Anti-Conscription Bill |
| Message | We will support this bill. Conscription is not necessary at this stage; in particular, we already have a sizable military with many capabilities, and furthermore the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Communist Party have their own armies which number in the hundreds of thousands (altogether). We certainly do not need more troops. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
