*WILL TEN
DOLLARS A MONTH SERIOUSLY IMPACT YOUR BUDGET? For a few people, yes $10. a month
would impact their budget, but for most, would it really? Be honest? That's
really all it takes. All this fundraising is in fact very silly. We have way
more in terms of resources than we need to do this. If you are going to be here,
make this a slightly higher priority please. Thank you. / Marc Ash - Founder,

Gun Nuts Meet
Their Match: Why Gabby Giffords Isn't Playing Nice Anymore
Jim Newell, Salon
Newell writes: "Somehow, politicians who support the lax gun policies that inevitably lead to such episodes, and won't even consider the slightest tweaks toward restricting gun ownership, feel that they don't deserve to be subjects of these sort of attack ads.

Apparently, this is the only way they can explain to themselves that they are not universally popular."
