| Message | Mr Speaker, Internet service providers are the ones who allow access to one of the greatest sources of information and entertainment to have ever been invented. By allowing private companies to do whatever they decide with this access they provide will allow them to censor information they do not like, political ideologies they don't support and put a large roadblock in the path to success for any small businesses unfortunate enough to not be supported by internet service providers. The harm this bill would do to the political freedoms granted to citizens of this nation and the damage it would wreak upon the economy is not something the New Left will ever support.

| Message | Mr Speaker, The New Left must be delusional if they believe a Government provided ISP is somehow politically free. Rebecca Stinson Chancellor and Imperial Seal-Bearer Deputy Leader of the RCP |

| Message | Mr Speaker Since the government can not censor normal media legally, there can legally be no barriers in the way for political freedom when private individuals use a government provided ISP. Albert Lloyd Leader of the New Left |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The private sector cannot censor media, these are our laws, regardless of ISP provider. The fact is, private companies make up most of the ISP market, Government involvement in it no longer make sense. Rebecca Stinson Chancellor and Imperial Seal-Bearer Deputy Leader of the RCP |
