Message Charles Sullivan
The defect does not lie in the political parties themselves, as it would appear, but in the system that spawned them. Giving a dying person a transfusion of blood tainted with a lethal virus will not save that patient. It will only prolong his suffering and hasten her decay. We need new blood, new visions, and a new political party. That which is tainted only poisons us and prolongs our agony and suffering.

We must have the courage of our convictions, as well as the strength of character to swim against a swift and powerful current. We must be willing to cut against the grain of deeply entrenched paradigms. The struggle, while difficult and sometimes demoralizing, will make us stronger and better human beings. It is our best hope.
