Kids are meeting in coffee shops and basements figuring out what's unsustainable in their communities. That's the future.

We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We are a people in search of a national community.

We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions, but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future.
