Resolved then I vote In Favour of this Act.

| Senator Cynum,
While Druckenwell is indeed a world affiliated with the the Trade Federation, there are several points that my cabinet will not accept and that I, as a Senator and leader of my people, cannot accept.
Namely: Societal and Economic Security- 1, 2 and 3; Military Security- 1, 2 and 3 and Labor Security- 5. These points go completely against the allowed freedoms. Druckenwell already holds a standing defensive fleet and as a power in the Doldur Sector, we have a duty to those around us to remain with our individuality in as much as we are a part of the Trade Federation.
Lomen Ryuun
Senator, Druckenwell (103 BBY - 93 BBY)
Minister of Economics

| Senator Cynum, be advised this Senate has no right to surrender to the Trade Federation the governments and laws of Republic worlds. Only these worlds themselves may choose to do so in the form of a Senate-ratified treaty. Republic worlds have rights that aren't for sale in this Senate. I have consistently supported the Trade Federation voting bloc, but this is simply too much. I join with Senator Ryuun—himself a supporter of the Trade Federation—in voting against this despotic bill. It is contemptuous of the principles of this Republic and I urge you to table it; it is not a treaty and so does not belong in this chamber.

| This is the most despicable piece of legislation I have seen in my nine standard years of sitting in the Senate. The Trade Federation has reached far beyond its station and charter, and is now attempting to place itself, a corporation, as the despotic, oligarchic government of any world it has a presence on. Need I remind the Senator of the Trade Federation that this is the Republic which he serves, and not the Sith? Or perhaps he believes this is the government of Xim the Despot?
This act does nothing to protect Trade Federation worlds, or their peoples, or trade; it merely serves as an instrument through which the Trade Federation can set up a trade-based galactic empire, and annihilate any dissent against it. We even see one of these worlds stand up against this bill. If those who will actually be effected by this bill, stand staunchly against it, what does that say of the legislation?
This is immoral and not the work of a Republic member. Senator Kruus and Senator Cynum, should feel utterly ashamed with themselves for proposing this legislation. You are enslaving the people of these worlds, and they deserve so much better. I only hope these worlds have men like Senator Ryuun to stand up to the Trade Federation and its power play, as he has here.
Duro votes Against this legislation.
