should not be overlooked.

It's clear that Romney would be a dastardly outcome.

However even if the unthinkable happens we will not be stopped,
nor give up.

The real enemies are ignorance, apathy, discouragement,
negativity, excessive unproductive outrage. This begins and
ends inside our own heads. When people have clarity they
naturally move more quickly and efficiently towards the good.
And they become powerful in a whole new way.
