| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Control Act and Justice Act has shown one thing and one thing only and that is that the National Movement who has been out of power for decades is now pushing for an expanded stat. We are proud conservatives we believe in free enterprise, private ownership, limited government, fostering freedom and socially traditional ideas. This bill does none of that so we will vote against it. Grace Frost Chancellor of the Exchequer |

| 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 Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
