| Message | Mr Speaker, I think we can all agree on the assumption that all criminals are humans. They breath the same air, they eat, they sleep, just as we do. Somehow the United (Democratic) Party of Rutania thinks this is not true. That they aren't humans, well at least as long as they are locked up away in cages. We, the Libertarian Party, believe all criminals are humans and we believe all humans are allowed to vote. We therefore see no objection from letting criminals vote, it would be a grave violation of Rutanians democratic rights if they weren't allowed to vote. How does the United (Democratic) Party of Rutania justify such an undemocratic proposal? Brannon Anderson, Leader Libertarian Party |

| Message | We will stand with the UDPR, we must take a firm approach to crime, we cannot give a voice at the ballot box to those who do not respect and obey the law. -Former President and Whig Party Chairman Elmer Clark |
