| Message | Look who talks about liberty and offends decency. The mantra of the Liberal Party has always been and will always be: be decent, and ask for decency, but trust in personal responsibility. Personally we oppose abortion, flag-burning, and the abuse of the internet. But we can not enforce our principles of decency on others, we can only ask that they embrace our principles. |

| Message | While the CNP is in favor of most personal freedoms, however, it finds Articles One and Three to be absolutely revolting and is appalled that the LPoH and the PFDS would even consider such radical changes. |
