[Peace-discuss] Re: Cosponsorships and the things that divide

I wonder if we can relate this to the strength of the conservative 
agenda in the past.  It seems they had the ability to look beyond 
the issues that divide and to support the organization in order to 
get a foot in the door.  W is the payoff for that movement.  All the 
little compromises made over the years got them this guy who is 
giving back to the far-flung corners of the movement.

Why can't the people in AWARE make individual decisions to 
participate (or not) in the issues that affect other individuals in our 
group with the understanding that the things that make those 
individuals stronger can only help the make our collective agenda 
stronger?  

This could also be considered a form of outreach that brings in new 
people who may or may not have heard about us but now have an 
incentive to take a closer look -- and a connection to someone they 
know to give them the inside scoop.
