| Message | Protecting civil liberties should be priority of the government. |
| Date | 18:21:29, November 11, 2005 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Strengthened Civil Liberties For Hobrazian Citizens Act. |
| Message | The government already protects civil liberties as individuals already have the right to privacy. All this bill does is allow those who might be crucial in Court cases to not give information if they feel that it may not show them in the best light. This is a proposal which could seriously damage the ability of bo the police and the judiaciary to bring criminals to justice. We cannot support this bill. |
