It's up to you by Chris McNulty

Catherine, In March, we released the Growth and Opportunity Report outlining a roadmap for rebuilding our party, and we have worked every single day since to execute these plans. In four short months, our political team has grown exponentially. Our field team has gone from a mere 3 employees to almost 150, and this number continues to grow every week. These men and women are in communities right now building the relationships necessary to win elections and change America’s course. We are building an army to fight for every state, neighborhood and community but it takes money to compete with Obama’s ground team. This is why we need you— help us expand this field army, train it, and equip it with the tools to reclaim our country and help turn America red. Contribute $25, $50, $100 or whatever you can today to help us spread the Republican message of prosperity to every American. Thanks for all you do, Chris McNulty RNC Political Director

REPLY: I didn't realize that we were in the midst of a civil war. Shouldn't you worry about folks taking your analogy too far and baring real arms and taking real lives? Many in your ranks do believe that playing violent video games removes individuals so far from reality that they do not understand the consequences of taking a life. Isn't getting drawn into your version of reality, this "virtual reality of civil war", the same thing?

Careful that you don't get so caught up by buzz words that you get lost in the fact that you actually agree with your "enemies". For example, you wouldn't sell your car to a person who didn't hold a driver's license, correct? Then why would you allow the sale of weapons to individuals who are not legally allowed to obtain them. I mean, of course, of the very many person-to-person gun sales which involve no background checks. Yes, hopefully many of these transactions are done with good intentions in mind, but the reality is that we have no idea how many and for what purpose they are done. But in a realistic system, while we might not be able to stop such transactions, we'll at least be able to hold the seller accountable for being the crack in the system that contributes to the deaths of thousands of children and innocent adults every year.
