| Message | As long as the government can guarantee that consumers and the environment will be protected from deadly chemicals (i.e., strict regulation of pesticide composition and use) and potential long-term health complications from the consumption of GM crops, the SWP will support the bill. |
| Date | 07:37:24, September 08, 2008 CET | From | United Federalists of Dorvik | To | Debating the Agricultural Policy Revision |
| Message | I support this bill. I also support the regulation of pesticides that could possibly cause long term health problems for the citizens. This is my only concern. Citizens come first in my book. |
