I think that we should get rent from all campaigns that use the office for moblizations.  Both Whit/Sarah's and Mark's campaigns paid rent-and Forrest and Krissy are paying rent. And we definitely could use the money.





The question is not whether we can afford to invest in every child; it is whether we can afford not to.
