Denny Your position is very well stated. We may need to deal with some political realities, but it is highly unlikely that one or the other candidate/party will make a major difference. It is our focus that is important, regardless of who wins the election. Nothing can be allowed to set us back 20 years, 2 years, 2 months, or 2 weeks. We are in a battle that must be won, and gaining bipartisan support of our cause makes much more sense than aligning with either major political party.
