Don't let the destroyers of the At-Large win.

Purpose, content, and action come from the people who choose to participate.

The panel is important, but at this stage the most important thing is what
*you* do, how you contribute. That will be much, much, more meaningfull than
who is chosen to this new panel.

Eleven elected panel members are not going to get on their horses and ride
off to save the world.

What they *can do is try, with your help, to put together a place, a framework,
to support the efforts of many, many people.

To make sure that folks who want to participate aren't disenfranchised,
ever again.
