| Message | To the United Democratic Party: Why do you support reducing the size of the Senate? What is it meant to accomplish? Relative party power remains the same as far as I can tell. Perhaps it would reduce the total salaries and expenses paid to Senators, but I'd like to think our legislators are worth more than their costs. |

| Message | Senators are more worth than their cost and that's why we need a proper salary to ensure economic independence. |
