Dear friends,

As I am in my declining years, I have become more of an observer. My 
physical and intellectual power is gone.  We here are a diverse group 
from many backgrounds.  And yet we hold dear the common goal of truth 
and equity.

I personally had the privilege to not only meet, but to become a friend 
to Dr. King.  Though his goal seemed to be one sided, his words spoke 
truth for all races and cultures of peoples over the world.  Was he 
right about everything?  Is anyone among us perfect? As he clashed 
against the powers of greed and lust, he met his physical demise.  This 
made him immortal to the hearts and minds of those who seek personal 
liberty.  He is but one of history's heroes.

Little do we know what affect we each may have as our voices echo down 
the corridors of time.  Be not proud, but steadfast.  There may be 
heroes who rise among our ranks.  Let us be patient and diligent.  Our 
combined efforts may seem to falter.   Keep the faith unto the end that 
we have been tasked to preserve liberty to all and not just the 
privileged few.

Calm yourselves and prepare your battles well.

Lou

P.S.
I'm a mix-breed Native American and fortunate for it.
