| Message | The majority of this bill I am against. The EMCLP is, generally a rather religious group of people; but we respect people's right to whatever religion they wish. Our party excepts athiests, christians, muslims, jews, hindus, buddhists, agnostics and peoples from other religions that we might not have recognizied here. We are a moderate group and think that to force people into religious prayer and dress is in itself anti-religious. People should have the freedom of religion. The EMCLP cannot do anything else but vote against this bill. |
