| Message | As usual, our libertarian laissez-faire "that's not the government's job" policies call for a no vote on our part. Getting closer to acceptable to us, though, we might be able to support article 2 as it is. Maybe. Though the current legislation conforms perfectly to our ideals, so probably not. Sorry. |

| Message | Well then, I would like some of my bills to pass this term, thus I shall propose another bill, without article 2-would you support? |
