| Message | Dear Mr. Speaker, "Protect our women and children." That is exactly the kind of backwards thinking we don't need. Everyone needs the chance to be free and choose values. Of course the state must set some regulation but for the most part individuals must be free. Yours, Green Alliance Party |
