| Message | "By the way, if this passes, we will make a new income tax that will lower all brackets. We will also make budget cuts." ~Amy Smith, Secondary Chairman of the LPS |

| Message | We really don't like Article 2 but will vote for this due to our agreement with the other proposals. Next time please do not include Article 2. If another nation imposes tariffs on us then we absolutely should impose equal tariffs on them. And currently we do not have tariffs on nations that do the same to us. This clearly makes the most sense. |
