| Message | Mr. Speaker This bill is rubbish and along with all other recent proposals that have destroyed the lower class and middle class of this nation we have seen the true nature of the LFP and UPR and it is a sad day in our nation to know that money is more important then the lives of our people. We hope to see the people rise up and take action against this sad state of affairs. Nathanel Ellioton Prime Minister |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The UPR would like to know why this bill is "rubbish"? It simply puts the power and funding back into the hands of the local governments and allows the private sector to flourish without government regulations. Mariana Jiménez UPR Congressional Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, You are taking education and making it about money and not about the future of our children to that end, that's exactly why it is rubbish. Education is not about money its about our children, but as we can tell...only a few believe in our children...apparently money wins over all. Nathanel Ellioton Prime MInister |
