| Message | I know that you are afraid of a free press because you are afraid that information about corruption and your government will come to light. If we want to be a democracy, this law is needed immediately. A free press with diverse views from fascist to anarchist is the basis of democracy. |

| Message | The problem is that the reform you suggest goes far too far and would lead to an anarchic media with no regulations. We would consider moderate reform but not this. |
