| Message | Letter to the Imperial Senate: Maybe the KLP would like to move to the Crusader Union, due the policies of the current coalition between us and the Selucian Libertarian Party (in the UICK) being quite close to the KLP:s policies. We always need more Selucians to crush the illusion of Pontesi nationhood, so you would be most welcome. Signed, Zethi Dungeari Foreign Minister of the Union of Imperial Crusader Kingdoms, Acting General-Secretary of the Crimson Crusade (former New Imperial Party of Selucia) |

| Message | What goals does your organisation has? |
| Date | 13:56:53, January 15, 2012 CET | From | Crimson Crusade | To | Debating the We're back bill. |
| Message | We fight for a free, Selucian Catholic Union in the Pontesi Realm, the assimilation or extrusion of all Majatrans, and in the long run, the end of Islam in all of Terra. We are quite center-left on economical issues, but that's just because the others are in many ways ultra-capitalist and we feel that such politics would be harmful to the stability of our society. We are very conservative on social issues. But our primary goal is, of course, to fight those violent secularist-fascist rebels who still cling to the illusion of Pontesi nationhood. |
