| Date | 04:23:28, June 19, 2005 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Women's Choice Act |
| Message | To vote in favor of a bill on the basis that it polls well is a weak and unprincipled way of deciding the course of our nation on this most critical of issues. The basis of allowing a single poll in which one option recieves 25.87%, which is all of 00.05% higher than the next closet option at 25.82%, to determine the course of our decision making on this issue a rediculous proposal. The Republican Party will be voting nay. |
