| Message | As the party representing hunters, fishermen, and foremostly, farmers, these laws do not represent us. They are pro corporate and anti-agrarian. They would benefit large industrial mass-farming concerns in Luthori, over our traditional and thankfully predominant family and local farms, orchards, and ranchers. Skilled farmers do.not use dangerous pesticides, and fishermen and hunters realize the importance of regulation to ensure the health and prosperity of our game stock and fisheries. This law insults the intelligence and morality of our farmers, hunters, and fishermen, and we cannot tolerate it a bit. I hope our friends do not proceed to favor this reckless and immoral law they have proposed. As a Hosian country, we are called to respect and promote the livelihoods of our farming people. We are called to be responsible stewards of the environment Elias has blessed us to have Adalbert Darnleigh II Director of the Rural Party |
