acknowledging that we stand on the shoulders of giants, dear leader hereby announces that the second central party congress has unanimously lifted the term limit restrictions which would have called for open elections for the leadership of the racing union.  as a result, it is likely that he will run unopposed to another glorious victory for the people.  we would urge that all responsible cyclists exhibit the utmost caution towards critics who would claim that this is something other than a resounding confirmation of the wisdom of the vanguard and the central party, and a sweeping endorsement for the ideals of the union.  these criticisms ring hollow and carry a whiff of capitulation to forces that would bind us to a continuing yoke of oppression.  now is the time to be vigilant.  our common enemy, still aggressive and dangerous, is the culture of the hated four-wheeled hegemon.  we must not look inward, creating strife, but accept this and move on to our stated goals.
