I just want to pause for a moment and say what a load it has taken off my mind to see all the fantastic efforts being made here and the enthusiasm shown by all the folks jumping in to help!
That first day of hearing so many naysayers was rough... in four hours of rallying people, I got only two offers to help and only one "thank you", and let's face it, we all need to know when our efforts are appreciated.
I knew it would get better, and then I came here and WOW, did I breathe a sigh of relief!
So here's my statement of appreciation: I believe that the work of TonyV and the folks here at Titan Network to contribute to and coordinate all the disparate efforts out there represents our first, best hope at succeeding in those efforts, and I think everyone should take a moment to give them a round of applause before we get back to work on those letters, petitions, e-mails, blogs, websites, media contacts, Facebook, Twitter, smoke signals, whatever!
I am so proud to be among so many people who have so much passion for fighting the good fight.
I have to split for a week, but I will be checking in when I can and I will be back on the ramparts on the 15th!
Until then, as we say in the GUARDIANS: "Never give up - Never surrender!"
