| Message | I disagree with everything said here. Well, except for Article 4, I do agree to that. They only act as a distraction. |

| Message | 1, 3, and 4 change nothing, 5 is about to be passed in another bill that changes it to the value proposed here. So that means all we are really voting here is on 2, which I support. |
