| Message | The NCLP will be against this bill. We fully support Article 1-5. Yet Articles 6-9 are extremely controlling the people's freedom. The Neptunian Center Left party never lets the people's freedom go unprotected. |

| Message | This is a necessary step to restore the proper balance of government control and morality in this nation. |
