| Message | Mr. Speaker, We have one culture, and that is Nationalism. Nothing else is necessary. I will no support this divisiveness. If culture will divide us, we must destroy these regional cultures to create a unitary one. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, President of Lodamun |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, when we look at the history of Lodamun, you are right that there is a lot of difference in the original culture of the different Provinces. Over the years the Provinces have adopted most of the other cultures within our borders, creating a potpourri of different influences. That way we have created a rich and unique culture. Also, we strongly believe in our country and its government, and we wish to keep the powers of the local communities and local governments to a minimum. Fons Degraer Minister of Internal Affairs |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The arguments made towards our comments can you consider as truthful,, but why should one large body decide over a vast network of culture? How can they feelnthe peoples needs of a particular region, town or city? And you can not deny that many in the 5 regions deserves culture close to them. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, If we must abolish culture and create a new one, we will. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, President of Lodamun |
