| Message | Mr. Speaker We fundamentally agree with Article 2, but not with Article 1. Far too much burden is being placed on the Federal budget, which hasn't been increased yet to compensate for the massive spending plans the PKPD and Cielo was pushing through Congress. We will vote against. Kyle Woodbury ZNLP Congressional Leader |
