| Message | Price controls? We are leaning against. Regulation to ensure packages reached their destination is one thing, but price controls are too liberal for our taste. |

| Message | We never said price controls. We want to ensure there are no unreasonable fees such as you pay $5.00 for some bogus handling fee. Other examples are double charging, extortion, and holding the package hostage. "Too liberal" for your taste? Your party epitomizes neo-liberal colonialism. Do not assign labels to hide behind. You are the party that accepts donations from multi-national corporations and are their mouthpiece in government. However, we are here for the People of Sekowo. THE PEOPLE! iViva La Unión de Sekowo! [PLA Congressmen: Viva!] iViva nuestra libertad! [PLA Congressmen: Viva!] iViva justicia en la Unión! [PLA Congressmen: VIVA!] |

| Message | Chill out, dude. He means liberal in the sense that GOP folks use the word, that is, NOT extreme right wing laissez-faire capitalism. On the other hand I don't think THE PEOPLE are too hot on having their homes taken away on a government whim because of overly loose eminent domain laws. Lord Acton was right. Excessive power is a bad thing, whether in the hands of government bureaucrats, corporate executives, or thugs on the street... |

| Message | This proposal does not allow the State Government to sieze housing as you say. There are certainly ex-post facto laws and any disputes will be filtered through the courts. Just because a law changes does not mean titles to homes automatically change. We are also confident that any and all concerns will reach harmony in the State Legislatures. |

| Message | I could agree with Article 2, however Article 1 I don't like. |
