| Message | We would agree to all of them except Article5 we would support this if Article5 says that Womens can serve alongside men as it would mean that our military will be more strong. |

| Message | @ Liberty Party- We don't want full nationalization, but we just belive better weapons would be developed under guidance and supervision of the army and the country. However I'm willing to drop that article in hopes that compromise is reached. @IEFP- We belive Women have no place in fighting units, just as simple as that. |
