| Message | While we would be willing to vote in favor of this bill, Article 1 prevents us from supporting this proposal. We feel national service is an important cornerstone of our society. It brings the nation closer together through a shared experience in the military or civil service. We cannot support any bill that would remove this great insititution from our nation. |
