| Message | The freedom of expression must be protected at all costs, especially to express dissent, which extends to the burning the flag. The very strength of a democracy lies in our citizens' right to dissent against its government. When we consider the nations which would forbid any criticisms of the government, fascist and communist regimes come to mind. Though this act may be uncomfortable for true patriots when dissent is unpopular, we must still protect these rights for when the time comes that dissent is necessary, like a certain Tea Party was some years ago. Sincerely, Calvin Henry Minister of Internal Affairs Liberal-Royalist Party |

| Message | Last week world-famous artist Maxwell B. Kidjo was arrested for using our national flag in his work "Oh Oh La La". Two weeks earlier a mother was fined 1000 E for making his child a home made custom that vaguely rembled our flag. That's why we are obligued to pass this law. |
