| Message | way too many acticles for one bill...too much to digest at once.....we could agree with a few articles but in a seperate bill. |
| Date | 05:06:35, December 30, 2011 CET | From | Social Congress | To | Debating the CCP Federalist Articles |
| Message | This policy to ensure you get the "federalist vote" will back fire given how your civil liberties profile is going to be tyrannically regressive given the things you support putting into the hands of governments. However, Since four of the five State Premiers are in the CCP, I am not surprised at this bill, but that won't last. |
