| Message | I beg to differ - full disclosure of what one is selling is essential to a libertarian marketplace. Note the first statement in our party description - "We believe that the function of a government is to protect it's citizens against fraud and violence, external or internal" Fraud includes selling anything you are not willing to admit to. |

| Message | The AM AAP has to agree with the AM RLP... we certainly cannot see how the 'libertarian' approach would be to be 'dishonest'... andm, if we are going to allow the free market to decide what is in products, it is essential that the free market KNOW what is IN those products. AM AAP supports absolutely. |
