| Message | Article 1- Repeat of another bill Article 2- This is a sad way the LPS is trying to take away the freedom to dress. They are trying to devolve so as at least in some places civil liberties cannot be taken away. Article 3-We strongly support state control of the commanding heights and oppose the transfer of that to the private sector for as the responsibility of electric companies should be to provide electricity a neccesity in this day and age and should no be something to be bought and sold. Article 4-See Above. Article 5- We do not support as in article 6 the official proclomation of one religion over another, this purposely tells minority religious groups that their religion is not allowed to have a religous school for as they are not the majority which is unnecisarily discriminate and unfair. Article 6-Schools, even those who agree to allow prayer will have dissenters, they will have people of other religion, schools are a place for learning, not for praying. If you want to pray you can go to a chruch, synagougue, mosque, etc. School is not the place for official prayers to be conducted, if a child wants to pray and like the mandatory recitation of the national anthem; if they are truly committed to God then they will pray on their own in their own private manner. |

| Message | Article 1- implementing what was in another bill because we're debating about it (hence why it's still in the debate phase) Article 2- First of all, this one's about electrical power, but we'll skip for you. It is not the government who should dictate the legality of this. It is a local business that local governments should attend to. Article 3- When the government controls everything, the people are oppressed. the government can jack up prices, and (because private electric companies are illegal) there's no alternative. It's called capitalism. and (God forbid) it actually works! Article 4- Government regulations are silencing freedom of speech! Keep the government out of religion! Article 5- Praying is a freedom. It appears you wish to restrict the freedom of prayer from schools. Schools do NOT persecute those who do not pray. praying is a freedom. If a teacher wishes to lead a group in prayer, the government has NO AUTHORITY to swoop down and punish him/her. Article 6- We've already covered this. Much better organization next time please, DSDP |
