I got the same personal letter too.

"if even one life can be saved—then we have an obligation to try"

What total BS. Progressives like Beeho use this "reasoning" all the time. Of course, they have no way of proving if ANY lives can be saved, so there should be no "obligation to try", using their own reasoning. In fact, using that phrase - as Mike Rosen discusses all the time on his radio program - we should ban all automobiles ASAP since "if even one life can be saved". This reasoning places ANY attempt at greater security above ALL concerns about freedom. I call it "the cry of the statist".
