| Message | There is simply too many diverse, non-related issues in this legislation to warrant a vote. There are some issues that appeal to the Haris Al Dizzi, such as the protection of the flag and the end to the proliferation of paramilitary groups, but many of the others are a step in the wrong direction and yet others are unrelated issues that the Haris Al Dizzi is entirely unconcerned with. Until these issues are separated and addressed individually, we must abstain. |
