I remember now, ok, thanks (Bonnie, Stephen, Stephen). The biggest issue 
this year will be to make sure Advocacy actually contributes to the 
election and votes since we currently have the biggest number of 
potential voters. There's no sense in adding to that number (which we 
certainly will do) if we all sit home during election day. Or week.
