| Message | While the Freedom Party openly supports all members of the LGBT community, including those who currently serve in the United States Armed Forces, even if forced to do so quietly however we can not agree with any changes to the Military what so ever. So with that in mind this is how the Freedom Party reacts to this Bill. Article 1 - We are fully in support. Article 2 - We are ardently and adamantly opposed. Article 3 - We are adamantly opposed. Article 4 - We support your freedom of expression. Article 5 - We are opposed to this. This not only cripples our ability to defend ourselves but also hurts the economy far too much. Article 6 - We are openly in support of homosexual members of the Armed Forces. Every deserves the right to serve their nation freely and openly as they are. Article 7 - We are fully in support. Article 8 - We are completely and utterly opposed. Article 9 - We are entirely against. Article 10 - We are adamantly opposed. Article 11 - We are in support. |
