| Message | The War is Peace party will support Article 2. However we do not feel cosmetics is a avenue of research worth endangering the lives of animals. Change this bill or make a new one with just article 2 and we will vote for it, but as it is I must oppose. |

| Random quote: "Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." - Tenche Coxe |
