| Message | Mr. Speaker, EAPP is happy to finally burn down the abhorrent legacy of LWA one-party state and it predecessors. It's inhumane and unnatural top-down state-mandated para-spiritualism was an awful sign of an awful time. It's time for spiritualism to return to its organic, bottom-up state of being.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, While our faction is opponents of the Lodamese Nationalism ideology, as proponents of Freedom of Religion we cannot accept the government persecuting citizens for their religion. We cannot support this proposal based on freedom of religion, which we feel to remind the Chamber was also something that was recently enshrined in the Lodamese Constitution under Proposal 4 of the Constitutional Reform(http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=607110).
