| Message | We cannot allow the selling or production of GM crops, they have proven to be extremely dangerous, health wise and a major cause of cancer, GM crops also have been known to bankrupt farmers who depend on their crops producing seeds instead of buying more GM crops every season.

| Message | When laws such as article 1 are even proposed, we understand the DBSM drive to go violent. You conservatives want to ban all help, and then also want an infinite population?

| Message | Please note, we are libertarians, not conservatives. Subsidizing farmers spoils the market and encourage bad produce at artificial prices. The consumers are the victims here. They deserve better quality products at real prices! Quintes Jorisslav Spokesman on Agriculture and Food |
