| Message | Here's our stance. It is important to have a degree of patriotism, but not nationalism. We have been, and always will be, opposed to national servitude, but not national service. We cannot support the aggressive nature of the second provision. There are religions (which we believe must be allowed to exist before government, frankly) which do not allow this. We cannot limit religion in an effort to create national pride. Also, we believe that if the people do these things willingly, they will be better for it. |

| Message | There's nothing wrong with patriotism, except when it is forced upon a people. We are particularly disgusted when federal nationalism clashes with regional nationalism. |
