| Message | We oppose both , but article 1 only mildly and article 2 strongly We question our allowing rapists, murderers, and theives to settle here. I don not think this is in our citizens best interests. Given the deserved and massive spending cuts passed by our current government; giving high levels of aid seems impossible. |
