| Message | It's called the Freedom of Association; if I don't want you on my land, you don't belong on it... and it's not just for the rich; everyone has a right to be free from unwanted trespass on their property. That said, we will support this bill, as we find your alternative less distasteful than the current state of affairs. |

| Message | Let's see if we are understanding this properly: First, we are currently living in a system where the government uses everyone's tax dollars to build communities for only some people - a waste of money. Under the new option, the government prohibits people from living how they may feel. We find this much more treacherous than the current option. However, neither of these are desirable conditions. That is why this party is proposing a new bill that will eliminate the current state of affairs of government waste and prevent repressiveness. The private sector should establish gated communities and people who live there have a right to live wherever they choose. I urge you all to vote against this bill and support the Housing Freedom Act that we have proposed. |

| Message | Under our current system, people have equally as little choice as if this bill passed, since currently, ONLY the government can build communities, not the private sector--so it's both a waste of money and a violation of choice. |

| Message | We agree with the FCA, the private sector should be allowed to set up gated communities. |
