| Message | The naming of this bill is a bit strange. That said, we do support this bill measure. Some sort of identification/passport should be required for people traveling outside of the country and wishing to return. But beyond that we do not favor Universal ID cards. Though we would be alright with a purely voluntary ID card system for those who do wish to get one. Though we do see how this too could be abused by causing problems for those who opt out of it. As a result we believe this bill is the best reform possible. -Vesse Jentura, Head Speaker of the Reform Option Council |

| Message | "We titled the bill strangely to mock how stupid ID cards are for society. Like telling a toddler to not put his hand on the stove, we tell the government to stop putting their hands of despotism on our people." ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS |

| Message | Clever! Thank you for the clarification, the naming makes sense based off of that reasoning. -Sarah Cordery, Head Speaker of the Reform Option Council |
