| Message | Many different styles are permitted, but each person is required to wear the dollar sign somewhere on their person, in plain view. Tattoos are acceptable instead. Those who consistently make a profit are permitted to wear certain styles, but those who have lost money in the past year(investment), or work for a business that has failed to make a profit in the past fiscal year, must display the letter "L" somewhere on their person and their vehicles. |

| Message | Too many multi-article bills. I'd like to see a split when a party says they support one article, but not the others. Support some but not others, so no for now but may change my vote later. |
