| Message | I believe that this bill and act is a fair and honorable cause that should be promoted. There are still the common criticisms that the minimum wage is not enough, we should give temporary exemptions to college students, and that we should open up the opportunities and choice in those opportunities. This is much more of a program similar but not equal to those in the New Deal and this is not the Vietnam War military draft, like, come on. |
