| Message | While Article Four is not 100% with our platform - we feel the military should play no part whatsoever in domestic enforcement - we support this bill. |

| Message | Once more the M.F.P. extends it's thanks to the honorable M.A.U. for their clarify of purpose. Our parties are of similar accord on this issue. Though, given the options available and the potential risks-it would seem a risk not worth taking if say a natural disaster occurred or wide-spread civil-unrest. Of course we all pray these things do not come to pass but, from time to time the men and women who keep the peace are simply outmatched for what both nature and man can sometimes throw upon them. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
