Message | We would like to congratulate the TNP for its effort on proposing so many bills! We will say our opinion about them Article 1: is ridiculous. Domesticated animals are good to the health and in some cases are the only friends someone has. Article 2: we are doing the right thing about countries in need. We are helping them and improving our international relations with the other countries at the same time. Isolationism is not the right answer to us. Article 3: making people use public transportation is a good way to protect our environment we should encourage the use of public transportation by not making it expensive. Article 4: gated communities are better if under the State control Article 5: if the government disposes off our wastes we at least know where is it being disposed. Article 6: we don't think that let people use any kind of weapon (such as military-only weapons) is a wise decision. By analyzing these articles we say that we will vote against them. |
