| Message | While articles 2 and 3 might be acceptable on their own, we cannot in good faith allow articles 1, 4, or 5 to pass. Allowing a country to be free does not mean allowing it to destroy itself with lack of regulation. This bill does nothing to promote equality unless "equality" is a way of hinting that everyone has an equal chance of being screwed over by large companies. Head of Finance Colby Welde |

| Message | If our Head of Finace could elaborate on how can free advertising and regulated free gambling would screw our economy that would be great. Because just blaming the truth is the only key of success for the guilty ones. Candidate for Finance Kasper Strand |
