Liberal Democrat campaigners have returned to Bognor and Littlehampton from the party's conference in Brighton with a spring in their step.
With no time to even make a cup of tea, a "Save our Hospitals" march was organised in Littlehampton.
And they are already taking their message to the people of Bognor and Littlehampton with a campaign of door knocking and Focus newsletter delivery.
"Liberal Democrats had a great conference," said Simon McDougall, local leader. "We have agreed policies that put the Liberal Democrats way ahead of the other parties on the environment. We voted for radical changes to the tax system to cut national income tax for hard working people.
"This will be paid for by shifting the tax burden onto those who pollute - for example by increasing car tax on gas-guzzlers and raising the duty paid on the most polluting aircraft.
"And we will tackle head on Gordon Brown's policies that have led to greater dependency on benefits for some and a bigger gap between the rich and poor than there was even under Margaret Thatcher.
"We are taking our message of greener policies, fairer taxes and a better society to the people of Bognor and Littlehampton and will be speaking directly to hundreds of residents over the coming days.
"As Ming Campbell said in his leader's speech, British politics is now one against two. With Labour and the Conservatives agreed on so many of the big issues, from Iraq to taxes, we are the only alternative to the cosy Lab-Con consensus.
"Liberal Democrats in Bognor and Littlehampton are ready for that challenge. And we are ready for the general election - whenever Gordon Brown calls it. The sooner the better!"
