| Message | "The dark mask of the LPS has finally slipped. First they removed protections that stopped paedophiles from adoption, allowing child molesters to have children under their care. Then they legalised giving alcohol to minors, letting those same molesters and child abusers ply them with drugs. And finally, they are sexualising our children; legalising prostitution and legalising child pornography. The LPS attempts to push the paedophile agenda must stop here. No longer can other parties turn a blind eye to the dark evil platform of the LPS. For the sake of our children, they must go." Astryd Goldsea, Unionist Leader |

| Message | "The Unionists are evil because they want to put government where it doesn't belong. In a consent situation, any sexual act should be legal. Also, if the pornography hurts a kid, then the offender should be prosecuted." ~Ted Johnson, Head chairman of the LPS |
