| Message | There is a lot to approve of in this measure. However there are several key articles that keep up from throwing our support in full (article 3 and 9 for example). Perhaps a smaller, more targeted bill would gain larger support. That would certainly find favor with us. |

| Message | A correction for the previous post, that would be article 1 and article 9, not 3. |
