| Date | 22:18:24, June 18, 2013 CET | From | Conservative Ordo Malleus (COM) | To | Debating the New Religion Act |
| Message | Local communities know their interests, needs, and responsibilities better than those of us in the capitol. As such, we cannot support a bill that intends to remove the power of local governments to decide on penalties for blasphemy. We would, however, urge communities to consider the importance of a free and fair speech for all of Telamon's citizens. |
