Message | We may be open to considering article one if we first had a robust debate about its usefulness and effectiveness of implementation. We aren't sold quite yet - but the possibility remains. Article 2 will receive no National Republican support. It is against the core principles and policies of our party. |

Message | I chose to put it to a vote immediately, because article 2 is unnegotiable |
