| Message | Are you nuts!!!!!!! The police should be in the hands of the goverment! not private security firms! it may be less expensive but private company are easily more corruptable and will only serve their own intrest! We do need a national radio and a national TV station for state of emergency! ..... this bill is probably the most horrible thing that will happen to Dorvik in our time! Its sad to see our leaders so blinded with greed that they dont think of the people and its intresting to see the so called People's progressive party go against its left wing that it discribes itself to be! This is a Joke! This will not be good for our citizens! |

| Message | The GSP has failed to realize that although we have privatized many government fuctions, we still have firm control over our government. After all, we still control the military, and that is the one thing we will never privatize. |

You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
