By using the phrase "sets the politics" we are telegraphing an identity to
the community that is probably less than optimum for a broad based
coalition.  This is kind of a late in the game suggestion, but I don't think
we lose anything by discarding the somewhat lefty-cliched "sets the
politics."  I appreciate that it was the soicalist community that launched
this coalition in the days following 9/11, but let's not lose sight yet of
our desire for a broad appeal.
