| Message | The Peoples Party can agree to the following Articles: 3 and 6. The remaining articles are both unnecessary and over reaching into our personal freedoms. Militias act just as well as police. We'd be happy to work with the KRF on this bill to see some of its contents come to fruition. Jennifer Ollie- Spokeswoman |

| Message | We still can not abide by these statutes. There should be a fair system of justice where we don't prosecute unless a crime is committed. Jennifer Ollie- Spokeswoman |

| Message | This legislation is absolutely barbaric and the Kalistan Radical Front show that they have not learnt the lessons of their previous attempts to achieve power- the Kalistani public will never support facsism. Stefaan Samuel, Premier of the Republic |
