Message | We dont agree with article 5 but we will support this bill. |
Date | 14:18:26, March 24, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Concillium Act |
Message | We don't think so. While we like 'Convocation' (a 'calling together') as a title, that change would be the only one on this list we could actively endorse. We are surprised, and a little horrified, to see both the AM ELIP and the SSP willing to remove the protection of any sort of 'intelligence agency'. |
