| Message | Do you have some sort of specific or actionable objection? Which proposal do you take issue with? |
| Date | 22:57:44, May 21, 2009 CET | From | Free Liberal Party | To | Debating the Obey! |
| Message | We are opposed to all the articles in this bill! Article 1: There are many documented cases of trials that were wrong in their final judgment. We believe there should be a limit to the number of appeals, but not a ban on them Article 2: Mayors should be someone that the townspeople believe is best for their town, not who the Head of Government believes is best. He/she doesn't live there and can't possibly understand every single city or town. Articles 3 - 4: We find the practice of slavery disgusting and downright repullsive. Everyone deserves to be free and no one race is dominate over another. Article 5: NO STATE RELIGION! People need to be allowed to choose their own faith. The government has no place in religion. Articles 6 - 7: Women deserve the same rights as men. They a lot of times work harder than men and get less benefits. They should be given the option of serving in battle or non-battle positions, but not forced into either one. -Constantine Verz FLP Leader |

| Message | Slavery need not be racial, but instead can be a noble alternative to prison. Religion is everything, government is meaningless in comparison. Women and children are second only to God himself. They WILL be protected! |
