| Message | I'm suspecting that Article I is going to be questioned. My believe is it seems to be the two positions as they are now are sort of redundant. One chairs the cabinet, and one does...what? We can keep the HOS as a hereditary position, but lets centralize power into one position. |

| Message | If one article ..either 1 or 3 were removed, what would be preferable to vote for in addition to article 2? |

| Message | Article 1 is the less offensive of the two in terms of its material effects. It's still quite objectionable though. |

| Message | We think three is less offensive, but unlikely to support either. |
