| Message | In the last bill I passed saying that children should never have to sing the national anthem, I stated that they woul sing the national anthem on special occasions but that nobody should be MADE to sing the anthem. Therefore, I would encourage other parties to vote against this bill as children DO sing the national anthem at special occasions but are not FORCED to. |
