| Message | This bill will harm the Empire. The RnP had this bill passed along with other measures to curb terrorism, and we have yet to have another attack. A vote for this, which we can promise you the sodomite party will do, is a vote for terrorism. |

| Message | We feel that it is good to have ID cards. ID cards reduce crime. All banks require that ID cards be presented by customers, which increases security. Law enforcers can locate and identify people who either do not know their names and/or addresses (e.g., due to Alzheimer's disease or amnesia), or who claim names that are not consistent with the names on their identity cards (e.g., due to dissociative identity disorder). Problems do not arise from one's identity card unless one has "something to hide." |

| Message | We dislike the owrding of the current law and would vote for almost any alternative. It should be the civilians, immigrants and asylum seekers who are forced to carry ID, not those worthy of Imperial Citizenship! |
