| Message | Mr. SPeaker, It has become clear to me that the Sunbeam Squad is not only run by immature kids, but it also in the tank for unions. Tell me, how much are the unions paying you to support them? Marta Wilson UPR Congressional Leader |

| Message | Mr. Prime Minister Amelia Granger, While we STRONGLY support UNION RIGHTS for Rutanian workers, this bill goes TOO FAR as it can CRIPPLE the ENTIRE economy based on a SUBSET of political views held by ONE union (who might even be AGAINST abortion rights as traditionally union households are). We are OPPOSED to this bill. --The Capitalist WORKING FAMILIES Party Spokesman |
