| Message | Article 1 frees up the market for farmers to do what they know best. Article 2 LP sees no reason to ban GM as long as GM products are properly labeled. Article 3 Farmers are just as any other sector employees/employers. LP is against special privileges |

| Message | Article 1 they do not benefit from poisoning your food. It would be horribly bad for them. 2. People should be free to use GM products if they choose to do so. 3. We don't need other sector workers? Lets say all the IT guys stopped working or all the power plant workers? Can you see the result of that? Our modern industrial society needs all of our different industry workers :) |

| Message | We support one and two but not three. The government must protect people from externalities even if a free market exists. |
