| Message | Mr. Speaker, While we agree we should give aide to certain nations, we cannot afford to do this at this time. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Dorvik is not a wealthy nation. We have a deficit and must solve internal financial problems first not go and help others. It is not our responsibility to be helping anyone to that matter, while there is no garentee our citizens' money actually goes to those people who need it. |
