| Message | We support the current funding policies of both fire and police departments, believing that they are necessary to ensure the safety of our people. We oppose the privatization of forest management, as we believe that only the national government can addequately protect them. Additionally, we fear that giving private companies control of our national power grid could cause its own problems. |
