A higher standard

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not cognizant that we are held to a higher standard than the rest of the world. We embrace this idea, as even the smallest of mistakes we make can have far-reaching effects on the rest of the world. We have been trying our best to live up to this standard you have set for us, however difficult it may be. If you can't trust us to run the world, then why are you supporting us? (Or, in other words, if you can't trust a gun instructor not to shoot you, why are you taking classes from him?).

We understand that you expect more of us, and if we were a despotism or an oligarchy we might be content with not expecting more of you, but since we are an Open Board of Dictators, for the people, by the people and of the people, we need your participation as well. Consequently, we are raising the bar for our supporters by asking you to donate one hour of your time every month to local propaganda efforts as directed by your local GPD office. If you are already engaged otherwise in the Cause, you may submit form 493-E requesting that we count your efforts in lieu of this hour of service.
