9. What we choose to fight is so tiny!
What fights us is so great!
If only we would let ourselves be dominated
as things do by some immense storm,
we would become strong too, and not need names.
When we win it's with small things,
and the triumph itself makes us small.

20. âWe need to connect citizens with each other to
engage them more fully and directly in solving the
problems that face us. We must use all available
technologies and methods to open up the federal
government, creating a new level of transparency
to change the way business is conducted in
Washington and giving Americans the chance to
participate in government deliberations and
decision-making in ways that were not possible
only a few years ago.â
- From Barack Obamaâs campaign platform on
