Hi. Does this version sound/scan better than the first? Is it clear? Over comma'ed? Does it say enough? Any specific phrases unclear? Can any be said better? Too pompous or self-important? Thanks, Al An Open Letter to the Democratic Party: Friends, To Democratic voters like myself, the past

Alan Silverman's idea rang a bell with me. After the 2000 election I wrote a letter to Al Gore suggesting that he sponsor an Open Space in each of the 50 states over the next 1-2 years (perhaps one each weekend) in order to put together a "vision" for the future of America based on what the people
