| Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill has many things we disagree with on it, but also some things we agree with. We will not support it as a whole because of the anti-labor and anti-environmental policies being proposed. However, we would like to point out that we are in agreement with interracial marriage article, the pornography article, the military stance on homosexuality article, and the policy on gender article. We would be willing to vote in favor of those articles in a separate bill. Cameron Mideen, GPPoL Leader |
