| Message | The wording of vital is very important in this bill. This bill allows for the federal government to safely and responsibily use its power. We will vote in favor of this bill. |
| Date | 19:58:49, December 25, 2015 CET | From | Bailonese Council Communist Party (BCCP) | To | Debating the Eminent Domain Act of November 3957 |
| Message | Our militia will protect all those in Bailon who are victims of eminent domain. Any government structures illegally built over a citizen's property (without their consent) will be demolished, occupied or blockaded through any means. Long live free Bailon and all others who desire freedom in Beluzia. |

| Message | Your illegal militia? Providing compensation and a relocation plan for people who have lost their houses because of vital government works in the area should not be considered victims of eminent domain. Again, we urge the Confederates to disband their militia at once so we can come to a peaceful resolution. Once the Confederates stand their forces down we can have formal talks on this matter. |

| Message | Confederate party, please check the Beliuzian "Eminent domain compensation Law". People get their compensation and important works can be built at the same time. Destroying buildings like this is "pointless". |

| Message | "Utopia", we do not answer to irrelevant foreigners, what are you doing in this debate? We do not want your compensation, we want to retain our land. Our brave men and women will die for their rights. We are willing to show the oppressors that we are not willing to live by their rules. If you tread on us, we tread on you. |

| Message | I didn´t tread on you at all and I don´t want to. I´m only commenting, that what you´re doing is pointless, I respect your opinions, however to use your militia to destroy basic infrastructure is "pointless". Sorry mate. |
