| Message | We might support article #2 on it's own but not without financial incentive. |

| Message | All these Articles would go against the ideals of my party. They all lean towards capitolism, which I do not support. The government should have major involvment in the providing of energy. As for the second Article, I think it is a common safety regulation, that fireworks should be used only by adults. Finally, I highly disagree with the third Article, being that if we approve it, it will lead to this nation being a capitolistic society. Small buisness may be privaltey owned, but large corporations should be handled by government agencies. |
