| Message | We believe the actual want of our plain citizen is to be protected from violence. Gated communities offer this security. We do believe that it is not only a physical security that our community needs but also a protected cultural identity. The gated communities provides the opportunity to protect unimpaired growth of our children, the preservation of our customs and culture, to protect our family from crime... |

| Message | We are not surprised that the STU are against our socially progressive and peaceloving politics - but we are of course interested in knowing what the Protectorate Party thinks of these proposals. Nevertheless we will put the bill to a vote seing it has been on the floor for quite some time. |

| Message | We do not support regulating the private sector in this manner. A person is permitted to control who enters their own home and we see no reason why a group of individuals cannot exercise that same control over a collection of houses and the surrounding property. AS for the first article we feel that the more people get to experience these creatures the less of a chance they have of remaining endangered. Care must be maintained and trade regulated, however when was the last time the house cat or dog was put on the endangered list. |

If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
