| Message | We read it, and we just cannot believe! Ad 1) We thought that Freedom Party fights for personal freedom and personal liberties, and that the state, according to their views, cannot be involved in marriage between two people. And now for something completely different?? Ad 2) Foreign missionaries? let me get this straight: foreign missionaries, who preach _religion_, are _welcomed_?? What does the state have to do with foreign missionaries?? We, in RDF, as convinced secularists, we believe that separation of power between church and state is one of the key points of civilizational development. Every person has a right to religion, and state should not discourage that, but it should neither support any religious missionaries. We in RDF just cannot comprehend how can this be in concordance with Freedom Party ideology.This is- a breach of personal liberties and unseen intervention of state in personal matters. Ad 3) We could support this, but for that we need an overall increase in budget, which cannot be without increasing taxes. Therefore we do not support this article- we would rather see an strategic plan of this (and future) government for a better budget! |

| Message | High Aid is really unrealistic right now in our current state, we would need to increase taxes for that but any kind of aid should be givin to our people first. I would much rather see article 2 stay the same but it really doesn't matter much. And Article 3 is supported. |
