We look forward to hearing from the other parties, and adjusting our legislative agenda in response. - Ronald Silvermage, parliamentary observer, National Purity Union |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I'm gladly surprised that you've removed so many bad articles. We strongly support articles 2 and 3, but we can't agree with article 1, and because of that we're forced to vote against this bill. -Sarah Bender, DU Parlamentary Spokeswoman |
