| Message | Mr. Speaker, While applauding the GLLFF Chairwoman in her efforts to protect our workers, we cannot vote yes on a bill that reduces our nation's sales tax to zero percent. This loses the Republic billions of Dranlands in profit and could spiral the economy Ms. Heather is trying to protect into chaos. If the GLLFF is willing to reconsider Article 6, the Red Freedom Party is willing to reconsider their vote. Iason Toles Red Freedom Party Leader |
