Description[?]:
| This bill is designed to provide both to protect our environment, and to protect our faith. In order to ensure that one of the most dangerous industries in our nation remains safe, and environmentally friendly this Article One of the bill will place all energy production under the direct control and oversight of the state. Why should our nation discriminate against some organization's free speech? Article Two corrects a great injustice placed against organizations professing faith. Through years of deforestation our nation has lost much of it's forests, we owe it to ourselves and our posterity to not only maintain them, but also to expand them. |

| Message | We find it slightly odd that the BBC party is proposing a new proposal regarding tree replanting even though there was a proposal related to the same subject already under debate in a bill proposed by the GU. However, we do not see any problems with any of the proposed articles, even if we are a bit puzzled as to why they all have been included in the same bill. |
