| Message | How about...(OOC: lifted from Cannon’s Precedents) Members in debate will preserve the proper restraint which will permit the Assembly to conduct its business in an orderly manner and without unnecessarily and unduly exciting animosity among its Members. |

| Message | We would like to limit the issues raised in a single bill to allow focused attention on each aspect of the bill. A large 63 proposal bill would prevent this from happening and lead to confusion for the voters on what a party is objecting to. A limit of three permits linking several issues into a single unified plan, while preventing overload. |
