| Message | Y'all spend too much time listenin' to them folks in Mekarali, but them folks in rural regions are gettin' ignored. They need to be heard too and I don't see no better way than to give 'em a bit of a boost. |

| Message | You are proposing to give less people more representation, while more people get less. That doesn't add up anywhere, not in the cities, suburbs, mountains or swamps. |

| Message | When y'all go out campaignin' you make all you promises to city folk because it easier, when y'all go out fundraisin' you go to the cities because that's where the money is. Doesn't matter how equal our representation is on paper, the city folks are the ones that get the guv'ments attention. Imma just tryin' to give y'all an incentive to give us poor country folk any attention. |
