| Message | The central government need not be in the business of nationalizing any industry or banning and over-regulating the private sector. We stand for innovation and creativity in the free market. We strongly oppose this measure. |

| Message | We strongly support the creativity and innovation in the free market, too. But the postal system has no need for creativity. I am sure we all remember the singing-telegram debacle! Ha, ha! But all joking aside, we must ensure a basic level of communication for ALL citizens of Jelbania. Private companies will not service the lone guy who lives in the mountains, because they are profit-seeking. Their profit-seeking atitude marginalizes the solitary frontiersmen. We cannot stand for that. One, unified postal system, as in the old days of our Founding Fathers! |
