"To my friends on the inside: listen- really listen- to what the outsiders are saying. Take the message seriously. Engage in conversation, even if it gets really tough at times. You don't have to agree with everything said, you don't have to march in lockstep. But if you don't engage, in a really serious and thoughtful way, there will be hell to pay as our party breaks apart.
