| Message | We would support a bill that makes prisoners do hard labor such as in a chain gang. Since you are in the LIBERTY party, do you really want to give GOVERNMENT a say in taking someone's life??? |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The Capitalist Working Families are saying that they would support slavery rather than murder? Oh yeah, I've always thought they're such a sympathetic bunch. We Social Radicals on the other hand, distance ourselves clearly from both of those barbaric practices, and will give you our no in this vote. Emilia Smith, Member of Parliament |

| Message | Ms. Emilia Smith: We do NOT support slavery, but there is a distinction for those who have been duly tried by a jury and convicted of a crime (Read the 13th Amendment more closely). best, C-WP |
