| Message | We support article 8 and 6. As currently written we cannot support. We strongly oppose article 7 and will vote against any legislation the includes regressive socially conservative policies. While we see merit in many of your proposals, we believe that many go to far. The PPH believes that a public-private partnership will create a stronger Hobrazia for all. |
