For the good of COMMON (it may be the last chance to save COMMON), be sure to
look at the statements made and evaluate who really can help the organization.
Some of the candidates statements are absolute fluff and are frightening to me 
as
a long time member. Is this really the cream of the crop? I encourage you all to
vote for the "COMMON Good". Is the recent new direction the way to go, I don't
think so.

PS> Charlie is right.
