3. Thank you for your reply.

We all need to focus on the goal. We have slipped in that single thing, and it's the most important thing of all.

I hope we will figure this out and move on to regain the political power we have lost. If we do not, things are going to continue to get worse in this nation, both on a local and national level.

I'm getting close to the end of my time as an activist. I'm tired. I'm old. I'm frustrated. I hope those who replace me will carry on the party's long history of working toward progress. It's working toward progress, since the end goal continues to move and will always continue to move.
