| Message | We cannot allow the gutting of these necessary securities upon the volital free market! If we allow this to pass, what's preventing the retired from losing their retirement savings due to unfair market practices? The record will show that we stood against this destruction of necessary government oversight. |

| Message | Honourable Members of the Senate, What is necessary government is oversight? We think that necessary government oversight is feeding every one of our citizens, giving them a bed every night. To presume that government oversight is necessary for businesses who know a hell of a lot more about what they are doing than the government is ludicrous. All it shows is that they sucking up to big business owners who want to get ahead of the game by placing unnecessary regulation on small businesses. Pitiful. |
