| Message | We cannot support this bill. We cannot support article one, it is allowing people to be irresposinble and encourgaes people to have children to gain government money. The only reason you should be having children is because you want them and if you are fully prepared to meet the econsequences of having them. We cannot support article II either as we just put forward the current notion. Although we ourselves as a nation are agaisnt the death penalty, we have no right to force our opinions on a nation that may support the death penalty.. We have been elected to protect this country, and although we can try as we might to argue agaisnt the death penalty our citizens know the risks of comitting a crime in a foreign nation and must in the interest of fairness and democracy allow them to govern in there own way. |

| Message | Article 1 is as already noted dealt with elswhere Article 2 is supported by the sd Article 3 is supported by the SD, I would suggest that the dr's concerns could be addressed by the 'ring fencing' of the funding, for library purposes. Local Government does not necessarily mean irresponsible government, In the view of the SD it means responsive government. Article 4- I think this was recently proposed by the dr, we supported it then and will support it now. |
