| Message | "Where it currently stands, we'd accept it if you added some sort of deregulation along with those two articles. Perhaps a health-care privatization would be good." ~Amy Smith, Secondary Chairman of the LPS |

| Message | "Ted, you know very well that leaving any law up to local governments is a good thing. Why are you so confusing? This deserves a resounding no. The LPS opposes abortions, but laws for punishments and fines for an abortion deserves to be decided at the local level." ~Tom Rand, Finance Director of the LPS and Minister of Trade and Industry |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
