  Go Grace!I like refering to our effort as a party as campaigning even when
  everybody erroneously assumes that campaigning is over!Our position 'on 
  board the peace train should also pack a whole bunch of badly needed 
  social services legislation for ,i.e.,rent control,education,single payer
  health care etc!Once again though where is the one voice, one slate
  joint planning being done?!!"You may call me a dreamer,but I'm not the only
  one!                                                       Lloyd
