| Message | I agree with most of this stuff but what's the deal on Article 1? How does not having domesticated animal laws help the ecology? Shouldn't domesticated animals be registered with the local government? That does not seem so intrusive or illegitimate to me. I dislike voting for so many changes in one bill. I'm leaning towards voting no on this bill but I've yet to make up my mind. I would vote for it if you removed Article 1. |
