| Message | We appreciate the support of the PC for this bill. We hope the other parties will support this proposal as well. It is better to not force laws upon unwilling localities, such repression only plants the seeds for rebellion - which even as confederates, we would certainly prefer to prevent if peaceful reform is possible. |

| Message | We find it kind of ironic - that the Confederate Party wants to limit the "repression" by granting local goverments rights to regulate and potentially outlaw such acts. You speak that it's better to not force laws upon localities, yet under current system no such laws exist. It is concerning this bill may allow to limit civil liberties of Beluzian citizens in the name of federalism. |

| Message | Down with the federation, we want a confederation of states. There is currently a law on it, it forces localities not to place regulations. We want them to have freedom to place regulations. Don't tread on our local governments. |

| Message | This radical outburst against the national government of the Federal Republic of Beluz is quite frankly shocking and extremely disconcerting. The PC will be reversing our position on this bill. |
