| Message | Mr. Speaker, If the Libertarians truly believed in freedom of the media they would support this. This measure involves no government intervention or funding. It is the only true form of a free media. The only thing the Libertarians support when it comes to the media is the profit motive which benefits their rich paymasters. - Rep. Anne Sulzbach, Green Party Leader |
