| Message | Mr. Speaker: In the private industry, those that have qualities sought by the consumer will receive their reward. They are not in need of subsidies. Television and radio are not essential services in the first place. (OOC: Fans of Lost may be deeply offended by this statement, but no apology is offered). I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, It seems as though this bill will enable propaganda to be spread more effectively by the government, especially to children. It is an offense against liberty and is wasteful. We vote "no". I yield the floor. |
