| Message | Why do we need this? Do we have a shortage of labour? |

| Message | It is not to benefit the labor pool, but to allow our youth to begin learning the life skills they need, such as time management, financial prudence, and the value of earning what they need rather than having it handed to them. By allowing them to earn their money, we will be raising a generation of self relient individuals, able to maintain themselves as adults in the world of economic competition. |

| Message | Child labor is a term typically used to connote forced labor as in work where somebody or something physically prevents you from quitting. This isn't working at McDonalds or delivering newspapers, but practically in the realm of slavery. Why is this Senate so in favor? |

| Message | The AAS supports because we believe that the current law is too restrictive. We do not believe that we are sending infants to work in textiles mills (we believe that the 'additional regulation' can be fairly restrictive), but we ARE opening the possibilities for 12-year-olds who want something a little more involving than a paper-route. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
