"We of the Staff of 'The Green Papers' urge all of you reading this to mark the occasion with respect, primarily by spending a moment in whatever thought, prayer, or meditation is comfortable for you-- for the diversity of observances held on this particular anniversary of that tragic day are in themselves a tribute to what makes Our Nation great." "Do not allow yourselves to become sidetracked, not even for a moment, from your dreams and goals by those who would wish to take Our Freedoms away. We at 'The Green Papers' will do what we can in this regard by, as ever, posting data on, along with information about, Elections in particular as well as Politics in general, along with continuing to make such data available to a potential global audience via the World Wide Web: for by this website so being, in such a small way, a beacon of Free Speech and a chronicler of the Free and Fair Choice of One's Elected Representatives, we do our admittedly somewhat insignificant part- but a part nonetheless- in keeping the Flame of Republican Democracy aglow."
