| Message | Mr speaker, Article three is the only article that the DLP is not happy with. But the pros do outweigh the cons of this bill so the DLP will vote for this. However I advise the LPU to stop using communist as the title for bills, this could discourage other parties who judge a book by its cover to vote yes. Thank you, Richard R Saush |

| Message | Mr Speaker Do not be fooled by the communists! This is not their hunt for freedom but instead their hunt for a bloody revolution! Pass this and crime will rise at the hands of the Communist thugs! Nay we will never forget the Democratic Luthori Party for their betrayal of this nations values.

| Message | "Mr. Speaker" "It's been very long since anyone has been hurt by the LPU's heavily regulated Army, which we'd support stronger control only if the police had stronger regulation. Also to the DLP, we as communists are very Libertarian when compared to Communists in other Nations. The only people repulsed by the word Communist are crazy Red Necks and unprofessional Conservatives" James Huston LPU Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker I'm sure that the people remember your violent past. We won't forget or forgive such things! Communism and facism sit in the same boat stroking each others back. And in that boat the NPL have now joined in! Sara Bennet |
| Date | 04:41:46, May 23, 2016 CET | From | Freeborn Luthorians/Freeborn Coalition | To | Debating the Communist Platform |
| Message | "Mr. Speaker" "You realise Fascism is an extremely conservative idealism and your party fits that label better then the LPU and even the NPL, if your a Libertarian and supported the people of this nation then you should give them a choice to conduct themselves as they like." James Huston LPU leader |
