| Message | Such a bill is ludicrous and unimaginable as far as it actually working well for this great nation. |

| Message | We in the VFA think that the PLP are not using their imagination hard enough. After all, when the laws are changed to eliminate governmental involvement... to be successful the government need not do anything! Problem solved. |

| Message | Allowing people to come and go as they see fit in this great nation is allowing economic turmoil as it introduces those seeking to use our welfare system and our government aided standards of living when they may not give back to the community at all. This means that patriots of this nation will be made to work harder on behalf of the lazy. This is not what the PLP stands for, it stands for equality which means you have the equal ability to provide for this great nation like the rest of the people. |
