| Message | "The energy situation in Keymon is settled law. It is one of the only regulatory laws we support and for good reason - the PNRF drafted a fantastic bit of legislation to get the energy nationalization passed, and it was one of the more well thought out, well written laws in our nation's history. Like the Church of Keymon and our neutrality, energy production is settled law." -- Alice Watterson |

| Message | "This is not theory. It is fact, backed up by a century of legislation. For the better part of the past century, several parts of Keymon law have been settled and simply aren't up for debate. We say the same thing to new communist parties too, Ms Devanter, when they try to radicalize Keymon or act horrified at our morality." -- Kyle Douglas |
