| Message | The BCP can support most of these, but cannot at this time support changing the flag. If you were to propose these separately, after the election, you would find a lot more success than trying to pass an omnibus bill such as this one. (I generally find omnibus bills only good for boosting visibility--they generally don't have much chance of passage)... |

| Message | Better to gain more support than to compromise our beliefs, at least at this time. |
