| Message | @ProLifeParty I see nothing wrong with multiple proposals in one bill. It keeps the number of bills low. Introducing a bill for every piece of legislation causes clutter. So I strongly disagree with that and strongly wish that all parties do the same. |

| Message | OOC : Yes, but it allow parties to choose the option they want, and not compromise their own visibility. Which is why I always put 1 (near always per bill, I don't profit from this, but none of you are forced to vote agaisnt provision you support. But in a more honestly, this bill contain element that affect multiple program, it would better to environmental law with environmental law and civil law with other laws. |

| Message | Madame Speaker, Given that the Vampires have now been classed as a terrorist group why is the Vampire Clan Co-Leader Felipe Lopez-Nova still speaking in Congress? http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=506394 We ask that the PLCA completely disassociates themselves with the Vampires immediately or we ask they be dissolved in line with Article 9.2 of our constitution and for supporting a group in breach of the Violent Political Organisations Ban. http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=494234 Congresswoman Channing Archer Patriotic Party Legal Affairs |

| Message | Madame speaker. We are a legitimate party, and we are no violent oprganisation This is a gross accusation. Our party does not promote violence, it is promote a reform of the police force. Our group want to stop the vigilantes crisis as much as other parties want to. We are not the vampires. Vampire Clan Male Co-leader : Felipe Lopez-Nova |

| Message | We disagree completely with Article 5 - we should be strengthening our gun laws, not making them weaker. We also disagree with Article 4; Article 1 would remove abortion funding for high income households. That means those wealthy enough would have to pay money for an abortion in a medical emergency, as if the procedure itself wasn't traumatic enough! The BDGP wishes to liberalise abortion laws and fund it for all people, not just a specific class so we don't support that either. Overall, we'll be voting against this bill. BDGP Chairwoman Elyse Wood |

| Message | Madame Speaker We remark that Elyse is unable to read about when a law would make gun access more strict, wen would like remain her that the current propose this. Adult individuals may own guns under strict license conditions. a propose we are opposed, but we support two other proposal and with the other being not that.
