| Message | "The Pontesi people have always been strong. You will will undermine our strength if this bill passes. You wish to force people to give up their organs without consent. You seek to actively remove homosexuality from the military. No man who wishes to serve should ever be denied. You are prepared to fully subsidize education, which will weaken our rattled economy during these dark times. The M.A.R.C. cannot support you until you change." Chairman Benedict Klein, M.A.R.C. |

| Message | Furthermore, the attempt of the Crusade to end private ownership within the defense industry is a clear attempt to place all of the nation's defenses under their control. In this time of war such a thing cannot be allowed to happen. The People of Pontesi shall remain armed in their fight against oppression and genocide. |

| Message | "We stand for Christian values. We care about those at the bottom of society, those you are currently waging war against. And homosexuality is a disease that demoralizes the millitary." |
