Description[?]:
| "Sometimes I feel that other freedom parties in Solentia promote freedom from religion instead of freedom of religion. There's a difference. The government shouldn't support religions, and it shouldn't oppose them. Schools should do as they want because the absence of religion is in fact only a new religion." ~Donny Kennedy, Secondary Chairman of the LPS |

| Message | "This is proof that the LPS compromises. I for one am against this bill, but two major members of the LPS are for it. Ron Rand and I had arguments over religion a lot, and it actually got me kicked out of the LCC for two years. Then the party fell apart and became the much more accepting and compromising LPS." ~Ted Johnson, Head chairman of the LPS |
