I was an anti-communist before I was political in other ways.

We want [government] down to the size to where it would fit in a bathtub, and then it could worry about what we were up to.

The RNC has made a concerted effort to work with their allies with a real focus on what we can do to equip candidates with the resources to win in 2014 and beyond. There isn't a week that goes by that I don't see someone from the RNC at our weekly coalition meeting. Keep up the good work.
