| Message | Support able bodied prisoners, support removal of national police force in exchange for military (ONLY IF MILITARY IS ALLOWED TO ASSIST LOCAL POLICE FORCES!). The rest, we don't feel strongly about. Leaving the matter up to local government is fine until there is a problem, in which case we can work to remedy the problem. |
