| Message | Absolutely we will support. I don't remember when we raised the essential goods tax so high. This is a crime to deny people food through unjust taxation. |

| Message | As we have no hostile or fascist neighbours, and I'm sure no parties within the congress intend to fight a war of aggression, *glances briefly at the IP* I see no need to put any more than the usual wartime precautions into action. |

| Message | Actually there is a war under discussion in the continental congress - you can check if you want. |
