| Message | The United Democratic Party strongly supports the farmers of Solentia. To deny any sort of subsidy assistance to them seems outright harsh, and someone moronic. We depend on our farmers for food, economic stimulation, and trade. We would like to see more subsidies provided in the future, but at this time, we only ask that subsidies be provided to those farms which grow crops that are considered to be beneficial to the environment or to the continued ecological safety of the state. I urge all other parties to join with me in providing this much-needed subsidization to our hard-working, dedicated farmers... and by doing so, we can also take measures to protect our valuable environment. Signed, Director of Food and Agriculture, Christopher Halliwell Party Chairman, Hillary Rodham |
