| Message | You're prohibit the elderly from getting the money they deserve for their hard work. Pathetic. By the way: In accordance with the Pledge of July 2258, we vote against this piece of legislation proposed by fasco-communists who conspire against the core ideals of Telamon. |
| Date | 03:55:47, July 25, 2006 CET | From | Catholic Workers Union | To | Debating the Clauft Pension Reform Bill |
| Message | "As usual," DLF Opposition leader Gloria Hope dryly notes, "the majority parties are unwilling to compromise on this critical issue to Telamon's elderly. Might we point their attention to the recent scandals involving corporate theft of pension money supposedly placed in private accounts? The DLF has no time for the child play of the MLP when they will not see the facts as they are written on the wall." |

| Message | *Gloria Hope promptly pumps the air with her fist and shouts "Communism!" to the cheers of the opposition and the shrieks and jeers from across the aisle* |

| Message | Calm down Michael Heseltine. We have a sergeant-at-arms? Anyway, I wish I could give a moving speech about all the policies dropped by the Hon. lady, but frankly I cannot. Some leaders are macroeconomic whilst others are microeconomic, this one is just plain cheap. We vote no to protect the elderly and aging population in their old age and their widespread and BENEFICIAL investments. |

| Message | Gloria Hope kindly informs the Sergeant-At-Arms that she is no longer taking any medication, and would appreciate it if he would stop stabbing her with needles. |
