I just checked the subscriber numbers for this community, and we have over 500 members now! Welcome aboard! This community has become a very dynamic and insightful place, and I have all of you to thank for this. I do hope that you are getting something from this community. It is meant to inform, inspire, and give insight to what is happening to our country- and even give us a means to do something about it. I think it's working.

Even better, many similar sites are popping up all over the Web. This is encouraging. If we crosslink to each other (like on the sidebar) we can bring information and investigation of dominionism to many others, who in turn can learn and spread the word.

Dominionists are a small minority, but they are powerful, rich, and most important, loud. There are many more of us than there are of them, and as the Dover school board elections amply demonstrated, we have the ability to sweep their minions out of office and out of power. We can turn the tide, and we have a long ways to go.

It is very gratifying to see such an eclectic mix of people here. Christians, Pagans, Jews, Agnostics, Atheists... this place is a cross-pollination spot of ideas and beliefs. I sincerely hope that it remains so. If we can talk to each other, learn from each other, understand that the dominionists have hijacked the Christian faith (and we all suffer for it), and not all Christians are like they are, then we can move towards solving the problem in a peaceful, and uniquely American way- tossing them out of power with We The People power. They have used it, and are actively trying to remove the ability of the rest of us to use it. We must not permit that to happen.
