| Message | I am not prepared to give future leaders the power to move forward in nuclear attack without reason. This is not only a poor decision, but also sends out a terrible message to the rest of the international community, and to our own people. |

| Message | I am in agreement with the Hatter's. Nuclear Capability is more than enough violence |

| Message | Ah, but if we are threatened from abroad, we would have to wait until they attacked us with nuclear weapons, thus losing millions of our citizens lives when they could have been spared. |

| Message | And at that point, though unfortunate, we would have just cause. Suspicion of possible attack does not just cause make. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
