| Message | I agree with the CPotP. The National services should be owned by the Nation. By alowing Private bussnesses to own these facilities it will lead to them gaining a hold over the people and goverment as well as the people's loss of faith in the goverment. I also think that Article 3 should be the opposite. We should work to preserve this Nation and its resorces. |
