| Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill makes no sense. I raise my concerns now. What is the point of recording the DNA of persons who have already committed crimes? Do the persons supporting this bill doubt our justice system and expect criminals to become second-time offenders? The current DNA law allows investigations to be easier when the criminal is a first-time offender, and it serves purposes apart from crime. The new law will be pointlessly expensive, and it will only help when crimes are committed by persons who have already gone through the justice and penal system. Why won't we allow criminals to vote after leaving jail? After serving their time, shouldn't they be allowed to return to society as normal citizens like everyone else? Why would religious schools allow prayer when the official state ideology is Lodamese Nationalism? Lodamese Nationalism is generally anti-theistic. And finally, there are articles which put too much trust in the private sector. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Again he gives speeches but not one bill has been backed by his party or passed other than a government bill or a nationalist religion. Aaron Richardson Party Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We don't see the need to support bills that aim to change the GDR that we have built for centuries. We would usually care about trivial debates, but we believe that priority should be put on suppressing the Hosian threat. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |
| Date | 00:35:00, December 30, 2014 CET | From | Ecumenical Constitutional Democrat Party | To | Debating the Renew Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, That the GNRG speaks of the largest and governing party as a threat to be suppress highlights their delusional, irrational bigotry. |
