| Message | Article 1: We strongly oppose any use of biological or chemical weapons in warfare, however we support the research into those weapons to know the possibilities of those weapons that the enemy may use as well as ways to combat them without the return use of bio or chemical weapons. We oppose. Article 2: We support the use of nuclear weapons as a strong detterent against enemies who may try to attack Jelbania, as it keeps our defense budget low and it makes enemies think before attacking Jelbania. We support. |

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. |
