| Message | We feel that privatizing all industries would have a deleterious effect on the lives of those among are citizens who are most vulnerable to exploitation by profit-seeking corporations. We would much prefer a bill that allows for small-scale entrepreneurship and a gradual privatization of non-essential industries. Furthermore, we feel it vital that, should the government loosen software patent law, that it make a commitment to using open-source software where feasible. |

| Message | We have made this bill much more moderate and feel that any further changes will water it down too much. We're going to move it to a vote. We will, as promised, by voting for the omnibus tax as soon as the corporate tax is removed. |
