	Everyone loves a good controversy. The following well-intentioned letter was received by one of our cast members when (s)he invited a friend to join us for The Christian Republican Fundraiser FUNDRAISER .
	"Hey [cast member], I would love to come out and support all that you do, but you are supporting one of my Nemises. Christian Republicans...oh my goodness, I have footage to pass around about such evil. I am sorry, as I don't mean to offend anyone that finds joy and goodness in their beliefs, but I have seen so much of what is going on in this religious group and it is terrifying. Unless the title is some kind of joke...but I read it and it doesn't seem to be. Please forgive my wanting to be truthful with you, but I'm not one to keep my mouth shut to something I feel so strong about. I luv you and hope you understand."
