| Message | Queens, Toms, ladies and gentlemen of the Grand Cat Parlour, These proposals lie close to the basic values of us Lionist Crusaders. Regarding article 1, we support the full prohibition of pornography. If this is not possible, we don't really see the point in trying to prohibit minors form getting it, it'll be nearly impossible thanks to things like the internet and thanks to liberal parents who'll let their children do whatever they want. We however strongly support the banning of child pornography and other forms of pornography that doesn't depict consenting adults. We support article 2, though we would prefer even stricter rules on this matter. Obviously, we also support article 3. Regina Herod, Parlourist |

| Message | Again, we thank the LCC for their support. Art 1 combined with 3 should protect our children. To prohibit pornography is not realstic to us, unfortunately. We are concerned that such a measurement will lead to black market activities by criminal organizations. Glen Frantower BLP's Justice Spokeswoman |
