I know that many of you have spent much of this weekend working on your application, and that even if you're pleased by what you've written, you may at times have felt as though you were engaged in lonely, thankless work. So I'm writing tonight, on the eve of our first deadline, to thank you for what you've done, and to promise that we will do our best to hear your voice in the words you've sent to us.
We have some work of our own to do now, and then we'll be in touch. In the meantime, please let us know if we may help you in any way.
