| Message | Mr. Speaker, This smacks of back-room election-year politics at their worst. We oppose this measure. Our citizens deserve to be well-respresented, not have their representation so drastically reduced in one go. Des McNabb Party President, Prosperity & Property Party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, This in no way represents 'back room politics.' We ask for a reduction in size of this body not to keep anyone out, but in fact to keep the body moving. We've seen too many MP's just stick to the sidelines. We need an active Parliament. I am retiring at the next election and I hope that Ms. Sarrazin takes my place as Prime Minister, but we need reform. A smaller body will allow for more work to get done and will not cost the tax payers nearly as much money. Sally Wingo Prime Minister |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Rutania has always seen the Parliament set at a level of 599 seats throughout most of its history. We ask the LPR to respect this tradition. Wayne Ezell UPR Congressional Leader |
