| Message | Herr Huspresident, We must forcefully reject this bill. 1. We must never let the police force and jailing become a political tool to incapacitate the democratic status of persons of the opposition. 2. Same basic problem as in 1 3. So the tax payers should pay for the gated communities of whom? What expenses will you cut? Or you want to raise our taxes, that are already extreme on the poor even further, to pay for enclosed fairylands for... yeah, I ask again... who? 4. It is of absolute importance to maintain the sovereignty of our courts. The government shall not be able to overrule the courts. All Kazulians shall know that they shall be judged according to Kazulian law, which shall be administered by our court system, not by the various agendas of the government. Karsten Ersland, we did not see bills such as this proposed by the NAF, and I doubt even they will support it. We all in Kjerne have reasons to doubt this government will be able to continue. I hope we shall be able to mend our differences, but we will see. -Roald Storstrand, jur dr (Kj) |

| Message | And... hrm... *blush* I see I read article 2 wrong. I must have held the paper upside down. We definitely support articles 2 and 5. If the NDP put them in a separate bill we would be delighted. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
