| Message | Mr Speaker, As long as eminent Domain is legal we support this measure. We wish to remind remembers we had attempted to do away with government take over of private property and it was defeated. Thus we feel it necessary to support this measure. I yield. |
| Date | 23:00:08, January 14, 2011 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the People's Protection Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, While we might be able to support this measure, the DRP's accusatory tone towards corporations without any shred of evidence makes us oppose this particular act. I yield. |
| Date | 00:19:34, January 15, 2011 CET | From | Democratic-Republican Party | To | Debating the People's Protection Act |
| Message | Speaker, We view the CILs actions as evidence that they care more about false honor and respect than they do the people of Luthori. We call on the people to view the socialistic CIL which seeks to wed state with the market, which seeks to allow the state to TAKE YOUR LAND! The CIL seems to oppose government aid for the people, but any corporation can sieze your land without any compensation. We call on the CIL socialists to be expelled from the chamber and charged with high treason against the people of Luthori! I yield. |
