| Date | 20:06:06, September 03, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Monarchist Alliance | To | Debating the Stability Act - 3723 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The passing of this Bill would represent a massive step backwards and would be enormously harmful to the civil liberties and welfare of the Lodamese people. The GNRG are a party of the past, with no positive or constructive vision for the future of our country. They have brought enough tyranny and misery to this country already. Anton Rietveld Chairman of the Conservative Monarchist Alliance |
| Date | 02:03:34, September 04, 2014 CET | From |  Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Stability Act - 3723 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill is for the safety of the people and their state! -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |
| Date | 04:19:57, September 04, 2014 CET | From | Social Libermuns Party | To | Debating the Stability Act - 3723 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The GNRG are trying to introduce proposals that were considered over the top even before liberalisation took place. Article 1 was a part of a previous stability act that was only meant to be a temporary measure. This bill is outrageous. ~ Rowan Argall The President |
| Date | 04:28:09, September 04, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Stability Act - 3723 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This entire bill could be a temporary measure again. It is even more necessary at the moment. We cannot allow the Hosians to take control of Lodamun. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |
| Date | 05:14:37, September 04, 2014 CET | From | Social Libermuns Party | To | Debating the Stability Act - 3723 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, If this bill is supposed to suppress Hosians, then why does it not include the expansion to a full-time military? ~ Rowan Argall The President |
| Date | 05:19:38, September 04, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Stability Act - 3723 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, A professional military may be held to certain standards by the international community, and a professional military could mean that the government itself should be held accountable for certain things being done. We prefer to have paramilitaries doing to dirty work. We don't want the Argall Administration to have a bad name. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |
| Date | 12:32:04, September 04, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Monarchist Alliance | To | Debating the Stability Act - 3723 |
| Message | Mr. President, The remarks by President Argall and Gordon Fertig should ring alarm bells in the mind of every sensible person. Are the authorities really contemplating unleashing the military upon Lodamun's Hosians? Anton Rietveld Chairman of the Conservative Monarchist Alliance |
