[Fmpro] California Dreamin

[Tracey Larvenz]

But it IS possible.  At least I believe it to be.  The key is large  
numbers.  It's hard to ignore an overwhelming number people on your  
doorstep, emailing and calling.  I agree that there will always be  
someone around who will undercut, but if we can get a large enough  
number of people together to commit to ideas that we all agree are  
important, I think we have a chance to change things.
