| Message | This goes from asinine to just plain absurd. |

| Message | AMA would be willing to support Article 3. |

| Message | We would like to detract our previous statement in regards to article 3, as it remains the single one we can concede on. The others are out of line with our policies and hence not favourable. |

| Message | The title of this act is horribly inaccurate. It isn't freedom, it's restrictive! |

| Message | That is one way of looking at it... |

| Date | 14:48:39, January 30, 2006 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the TOTAL Freedom Act |
| Message | Article 1 we could support, but doubt it could pass. The rest, we would have to oppose ourselves as we stand for non-Orwellian definations of freedom. |

| Message | OOC: as a player, I get it... though my party has a role to play. :) |
