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.

Building the local team by Chris McNulty

Catherine, Four months ago, we released our Growth and Opportunity Report, and we have been working every day since to turn ideas into actions. We are expanding our unprecedented efforts to engage voters earlier than ever by announcing key hires in Virginia. Our new state director, director of African American Engagement, and four field directors will enable us to win in key 2013 elections as well as build a permanent campaign across the country. These new hires are joining our team of staffers nationwide who are helping us build the largest and most robust GOP field operation in history. We are working hard to earn votes for upcoming elections, but we cannot do this without your support. Your donation today will help us fund our new national field program and put hundreds of boots on the ground, building personal relationships with voters in all 50 states. Contribute $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can today and help us turn America Red one state at a time! Thanks for all you do! Chris McNulty RNC Political Director

REPLY: Please describe in intimate detail why I should not think that in any way does your activity constitute "buying votes". I'm thinking, of course, of recent censure of the State Department for paying to increase their number of Facebook friends.

Are you ready? by Reince Priebus

Catherine, This year is almost halfway through and we have made great progress with our Growth and Opportunity Report goals. Our new national field program is already making strides with the hire of key leaders, but with under 10 days left until our next major fundraising deadline we still need your help. This summer we are launching our 50 state initiative to put thousands of boots on the ground across the country. This is the largest voter outreach program our party has ever seen, and the most critical part of our plan to overhaul our ground game. Summer is almost upon us, and these months are critical for laying the foundation for many years and elections to come. This is why we need your help. Contribute $25, $50, $200, or whatever you can today to help us spread our party’s message of prosperity to every American. Sincerely, Reince Priebus Chairman, Republican National Committee
