| Message | We may be able to support this legislation, though we will refuse to support any foreign aid beyond disaster-relief. The well-being of Rutania and its citizens must always come first in matters of foreign affairs, and we believe the tax-payers of Rutania have a right that their money be circulated back into the community, rather than going abroad. For now, we will abstain from any voting on this legislation until we have reached a consensus within the party. |
