this is the home of newt gingrich and bob barr. so everybody else said it was absolutely impossible by skin was too dark, my age is too young, those were two people who were standing right there with me, along with my sister who will refuse to stand up, so i'm not a going to bother her to do that. it is critical to stay connected to the people in this room and be a part of the movement together. secondly, to be excellent at what you do. i come across people all the time who they just can't type anymore. and so it's time for us to be tight and be excellent and not try to do to me thinks, but to create a niche for ourselves and to be great at that so you become to go to person for the issue of the scale or whatever it is you've developed. and finally i would say don't wait. we always think that if we are old enough, if we have enough decrees on the walls, husbands, picket fence, all the stuff we think we have to keep in mind. the truth is there is too much work to be done in our community and we cannot wait for other people to do it.
