A word of thanks to the Founding Fathers.
I had just about given up hope, but thanks to you and your foresight, we seem to have "checks and balances" back again after coming extremely/perilously close to losing them. We're not out of the woods yet and there's an awful lot of work ahead, but election night truly displayed that Democracy, the Constitution and the Voice of the People have not yet been entirely decommissioned/destroyed, despite the best efforts of the Bush junta and the Neocons.

2. To extend your metaphor, we're the tree trunk of government.
The three branches spring from us.
