The Gee Administration was leaps and bounds beyond the situation that existed at my alma mater when I first stepped on campus under the reign of terror known as Karen Holbrook. She famously bashed the student body in an interview for her next job, and did little to help the long-term future of the university.

President Gee always put the students first, and I’m still proud to have shook his hand on my graduation day some years ago. He will be missed.

To criticize Mr. Martin for his use of our official theme is tantamount to criticizing a conservative politician for using Google´s services or Apple´s products because they are companies with liberal associations or have production lines outside of the country.

In creating custom political themes (as oppose to official and freely available themes) Tectonica does only conduct website work for left-leaning and progressive politicians and movements, as quite frankly, that is where our passion lies and where we believe our efforts are most successful.

We do strongly believe, however, in the deeply democratic model encompassed by NationBuilder services – which offers a low cost option with powerful community organizing tools. NationBuilder does not discriminate in offering its services based on the political affiliations. And due to its pricing and quality allows the power of ideas, people, and movements to lead instead of those with established economic resources. Above all, we value this democratic principle which played greatly into our decision to partner with NationBuilder on the creation of official themes for their clients.

We are extremely happy to know of the popularity and success of the themes we created regardless of political difference that might exist between us and those utilizing them.

I don’t even understand how the Democrats believe they can enforce background checks on private sales unless they really believe the honor code will take precedence in this situation. Unless we become a nanny state and input data on every firearm available, their locations, etc, there is no way to determine if a private sale is occurring and that the ATF or another agency has to step in and conduct a background check

Given the above I’d make a case that traditional marriage is more in line with a “conservative” value than a “republican” value. Thereby this particular venue may not be the best place for GOProud to make their case to republicans. In other words, the GOProud is not about changing the definition of “conservative”, but rather about making the Republican Party less conservative. Again, their mission does not seem to match the purpose of this meeting as a gathering of “conservatives.”
Thank You
