| Message | We urge congress to vote no on this issue. The Government does not need to be involeved on every single matter. If the Government runs everything than no one can run a business and no one can have dreams of having a big business. Not all big businesses are bad! Housing should stay private it is better, also besides the government will subsidied the rent for low-income households. No reason for this to be changed. STOP WITH BIG GOVERNMENT |

| Message | Devolving the housing policies to local governments does not mean bigger government, it's just giving them to decision what to do with it (you'd think that would be obvious). Going by your logic, the government is way too big because we can decide what to do with anything. |

| Message | The reason I said bigger government is because local governemtns may decied that they own all housing which we think is wrong. |
