| Message | We do not necessarily wish to enact the provisions which these treaties stop us from doing, we simply feel that it is un-democratic for such constraints to exist in the first place. The people of our country choose their own representation and they expect their representatives to make the law, not international treaties. As such, we have a duty, if we share a love for democracy, to end the limitations on our sovereignty imposed by these treaties and withdraw ourselves from them. |
