| Message | I have no idea how the local government can do a better job than my party at protecting the environment when it is my parties primary goal to protect the environment. This legislation leads to some very serious potential dangers to the environment, especially in localities bought out by corportations.The Federalists and the Confederates are blindly voting in favor of this bill without any real debate or even reasons given. The state of politics is currently embarassing. Please, convince me how the states will do a better job than my party in terms of protecting the environment but until then I ask that everyone else votes in negation. This is a sad day indeed. |
