| Message | The DSP can not vote for this bill. ARTICLE 1 The DSP does not believe in curfews period, though we support local governments deciding in emergency situations rather than the national government. ARTICLE 2 The DSP believes that the library system is fine as is. ARTICLE 3 The DSP believes in complete open source, but believes that if there is to be closed source it should be highly regulated. ARTICLE 4 The DSP believes in complete Universal Healthcare, and therefore is vehemently against this section. |
