| Message | No for all three items. We strongly support the separation of church and state within all levels of Kanjoran government so the first two are out. And this carries over to the education system. If one school feels it is Jesus is the lord and savior should Muslims and Jews have to pray the Glory Be or Hail Mary or have to listen to it every day from their teachers? |

| Message | REMEMBER, prayer does not have to be for anyone religion. Prayer can simply be a thankyou to a higher power or even to life itself. This proposal is more an exercise in thankfulness than in religion. For the first two proposals, the local governments will have the ability to pay ministers who provide important community services and to appoint the least dangerous and most kind of religious leaders. However, if the local governments feel as the KPP does, they can decline and not take any part in religion what-so-ever |

| Message | NO for all three items. As a catholic, I cannot vote for this. The state has no right to appoint Bishops, cardinals etc. |
