| Message | Mr Speaker, We are very surprised but we find no issues with any parts of this bill. We will support the bill in its current state if it is presented in the House of Representatives. Scott Pearson, Chairman of the Worker's Union |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Our movement is against the GRP's efforts to overturn the Campaign Finance Reform. By letting donations come in, the rich will once more be able to wand off those who are only receiving public funds by pouring in cash by the million. However, our party supports the GRP in other issues, and believes that if Article I is removed, our party will gladly vote in favour of this bill. |

| Message | Mr speaker, we apologise to Reform! Rutania because the structure of the bill is not going to be changed. We believe that campaigns should not be publicly funded if candidates accept donations because taxpayers money should not go to a candidate who is crazy and not acting in their interests. However, large donations come from someone who intends to vote for them and taxpayers can keep their cash. However, some campaigns will not attract donors so they should be publicly funded so the public can make an informed desicion when they vote. Thank you. Richard Holes MP |
