| Message | Yes to article 8. Further we feel there should be union in our lands; we do not want to bother local governments with problems we can handle. |

| Message | OOC: You might not want to mention stuff by articles, one thing we found a couple of months ago is sometimes the articles will jumble up for some people. What one person sees as article 8 may appear to someone else to be article 6. It led to a lot of confusion. |
