| Message | Mr. Speaker we seek the support of the governing majority to pass this bill, the bill in its current form however is incomplete, we require the passage of the Sovereignty Affirmation Act first in order to add provisions to this bill to end the governments current policy of enforcing morality on the people, we seek to add provisions not to force segregation on the nation but to allow the people and private institutions and businesses to practice segregation if they so choose, we are as we have always been seeking freedom -Prime Minister Elmer Clark. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We ask that the Whig Party stop introducing horrifying legislation like this every term. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The RP can not support this bill, however we can support some Articles if perposed in different bills. Article 5, most defiantly. And maybe Article 4 if heavily modified along with a better case made for it. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, In response to my colleagues from the PPR I would like to know if they expect us to abandon all of our principles and beliefs as soon as the voters give us an opportunity to legislate? We have made our views very clear over the years and we plan to continue to strive to implement those ideas into law as I am sure they will do with their ideas. Now going back to the discussion at hand, we shall pursue Article 5 in a separate bill. As for the remaining parts of this bill we ask the Peoples Assembly to please consider the bills merits. We are attempting to cure the moral cancer in the nation. We should now maintain laws that say that committing adultery is legal, what sort of message does that send to the youth? And polygamy, I mean really. This is an outdated idea from some of the wackiest religions on Terra. We shouldn't allow these practices or other abominations such as cross-dressing. We need to adopt policies to strengthen the family not tear it down. -Prime Minister Elmer Clark |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, You can introduce all the legislation you'd like, we just don't agree with it. We agreee that polygamy should not be allowed as it tends to oppress those in the relationships. We would support it in the seperate bill. Joey Townsend PPR |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, What double speak! This is truly anything but a "Freedom Act" to repeal state imposed morality. This is a clear attempt by the Whigs to back track on fundamental human rights. We well know the Whigs like to targets women, the LGBTQ+ community and racialized Rutanians but this continues to take it a strep further. Mr. Speaker, it is clear more than ever it is the Whigs attempting to legislate their horrifyingly skewed view of morality onto all of us! Mr. Speaker, we call on the Whigs to withdraw this legislation and all other parties to oppose it. Gabriel Nadal-Wood Co-spokesperson of the Eco-Socialists |
| Date | 12:00:31, May 29, 2017 CET | From | Whig Party | To | Debating the Clark Freedom Accord |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind Nadal-Wood that the Presidency was won by Conrad Parker not Nadal-Wood. The morality the Whig Party stands for along with our allies and friends within the Whig Party is the righteous and historic morality of Rutania. It is time the ESM recognize the Whigs as the moral crusaders and defenders of righteousness that we are just as we recognize the ESM as an eccentric hippie movement....... {Clark breaks into laughter}, We will introduce special legislation on ending polygamy as requested by the PPR. Prime Minister Elmer Clark |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Although my party disagrees with the Whigs on essentially everything, we appreciate them compromising with us. Joey Townsend Spokesperson PPR |
